Hmm...I know that corn, wheat and rice are fillers, I was just asking how you can tell what the ratio of fillers contained is. They are present in all 6 foods that I have sitting in my house right now...2 low end (Pedigree and Ole Roy) and 4 high end (Science Diet, Nutro Natural, Purina Pro Plan and Eukanuba) ...so I guess you can't assume that if a food contains one, it's automatically bad...hmmm.... Plus, I've never heard of corn, wheat and rice having protein in them so I don't see where they would bump up the protein level...
