Read this link: http://www.canidae.com/ingredients/meatvmeal.html

I noticed that none of the first five ingredients includes chicken, turkey, beef meal. Ingredients go in order of weight, so you may think to yourself, great, it has a lot of meat, when in reality, those ingredients without the meal part are 70% water. So when you take out the water, you're only left with 30% meat which means that those ingredients without the water content would probably be much lower on the ingredient list.
I hope this helps!
Seriously though, read the link because it explains it much better than I can
