give me french fries
15:01
yeah no to Absolutely.
15:03
This is all great for us.
15:05
But dogs don't secrete amylase.
15:07
They only secrete a tiny amount, but all the way down in the pancreas, okay, where they've got the protease enzyme that digests the protein, amylase for the sugars.
15:18
and lipase for the fats, OK, but a small amount.
15:21
So by overloading with complex carbohydrates, it's putting a lot of unnecessary pressure on the digestive system.

6 MINS LATER

21:40
Yeah, and have fun.
8:26
days given the
8:29
compared compared to some of the team um and you know some of the teams I've worked with previously as well you know they've been a younger generation and um there's there is there is definitely a split between people who um are definitely you know struggling with the stress that is impacting their mental health and they don't come forward or they don't want to talk about it until it does get to that breaking point.
8:59
Whereas as others, I think because as a society we are being, you know, a lot more open about mental health issues and talking about how things are affecting you.
9:13
people are more willing to come forward and go, look, I just need to tap out today because, you know, I need a bit of a break.
9:18
We've had a lot going on.
9:21
We need to be able to, you know, I need to be able to take a step back.
9:24
And I think particularly for Cocho, where they've done really, really well with that is that in the six years I've been here, the amount of particularly as we sort of started building this team in COVID as well, the amount of support for mental well-being, for personal well-being, physical well-being as well, the amount of support they've put in place for that, whether it's through the policies we've got with managing COVID um sick leave mental health all the rest of it but providing webinars um and talking about various different elements and having these open conversations I think for us that's made a huge difference and I don't I there are other companies that do it as well but there's some that obviously you know don't have it um you know sort of embedded in such a way as as we do I do feel very lucky to work for a company that does genuinely care for its staff when it comes to well-being across the board you know it's reflected in the benefits we get and then it's it's supported you know with HR with the people team it's yeah there's there's a huge huge support network there which makes a big difference definitely.
11:22
be too much to deal with so I do feel like you definitely need a good support system to sort of get through it together but um how have you kind of seen maybe job security with this is that kind of played a part or is that something that maybe hasn't really been affected by this of people kind of you know losing jobs through these things or you know I know we mentioned struggling to get a new job because of because of these these things but yeah what do you think now
