The philosophy is that domestic pets should be getting their carbohydrate in a similar manner and balance to their wild ancestors. That means feeding fresh, raw (non-starchy and low glycaemic) vegetables (and some fruit). The green vegetables contain only small amounts of starch and some simple sugars.
