Every dog food manufacturer has a slick marketing campaign with descriptions of their products that can be criticized, including both Champion and Science Diet.
I don't believe anyone here wants every pet caregiver to start feeding 1 or 2 brands of dog food. Diversity and competition in the marketplace are good. When a company gains too much of the market share, there is a risk that the company gets too comfortable and grows lax (or more lax) in their standards. I believe that is what has happened to Merrick.
Discussion on this topic is good; diversity in ideas is good. Informed pet caregivers/consumers are the best means to motivate manufacturers to improve their products, their manufacturing, and their marketing.
I don't believe it is anyone's goal here to have everyone think exactly alike. The goal is to think critically and to keep an open mind.
Not everyone here would give my food choice their seal of approval. That is okay, and I hope they would not hold back criticism of Fromm just because I feed it. I would appreciate the info and weigh it accordingly.
