If you compare a cat, a dog, a human, and a cow, you can see from the teeth and the digestive system a progression that is just for meat (lots of sharp teeth for ripping and shredding) to one designed just for plants (broad teeth, three stomachs).
I'm glad you like it, and another thing I think many people overlook is the fact that, "Indigestible fiber from grains contribute to intestinal health." So just because we can't digest fiber, it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for us. The Dog Food Project - Myths about Dog Nutrition
