Well, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), having experience with a topic isn't necessarily a prerequisite for posting about it here. I read Katiewilson's post to say that doing what's "easy" and doing what's "right" for your animal's welfare don't always go hand-in-hand. Further, the point I think she was trying to make was that what's easy for us to do isn't always in the best interest of the animal, and the best interest of the animal is what needs to come first. WICavy suggests giving sunflower seeds to help dry skin, but that is a direct contradiction to what Ly and other mods have said. And for good reason, sunflower seeds can do more harm than good for the health of a pig. So, that it's an easy solution doesn't mean it's the right solution.

I'm baffled by your confusion, since it's a suggestion to feed sunflower seeds to remedy dry skin that started this debate in the first place.
