Yes, and I thought my dog was too important to die for me continue trying to force feed her the "quality foods" when there were better alternatives. No one here is trying to convince anyone else to feed their dogs a low end food IF and WHEN there is a better option. But reality is, that is not always the case and certainly not as easy as it is often portrayed here. That's why I am an advocate of the Research, Educate Yourself and do what is best for YOUR dog train of thought.
I personally would never try to tell anyone that a 'garbage' food is "OK" NOR would I try to convince anyone that a 'high quality' food is "OK" for their dog, because
bottom line is, I don't know what is the best option for THEIR dog anymore than the next person. No one can know if there are and aren't "ways around it" and what those "ways" may be with any certainty for anyone's dogs but their own. And I certainly don't think it's fair for others to be put down or made to feel bad about what they are feeding their little ones, for whatever reason--in particular under the guise that it must they must "care less" for their dog(s).
I do what I feel is best for mine, and I may be going out on a limb here, but I feel like I am a better judge of that than anyone else here. I trust that everyone here here has the mental capability to make that decision for themselves too.
