I don't know why this has become somewhat of an argument.
I did do research into Science Diet, and while the grain free is somewhat better, the base form has a high volume of corn, biproduct, and a couple other questionable ingredients in it. A lot of people have pets that have an allergic reaction to it, but I am sure that can happen with most any grain free (I assume that is happening with the base line).
I'm not a nutritionist, but I do know that you don't want corn, grains (except rice -- I am okay with rice because it helps digestion), or animal biproducts. I'm not claiming to be perfect or that I believe in a completely holistic pet care process, because I really don't. That's why I don't work their anymore, because I am not completely holistic. The deal with grains is that it can develop or aggravate food allergies in dogs. Most of the time if they have food allergies, they are to wheat, soy, etc. I'm not saying every dog with food allergies is, but it is the more common reason.
I do feel that ingredients are also important with quality control and what have you. Would I personally feed the base form of Science Diet? No. Am I condemning people who do? Of course not! It just wouldn't be first on my list of those choices.

You are first of all not under fire. I simply voiced my disapproval of calling a dog food "crap". I have said that I did not think you meant to attack anyone.
I also, have to say, that I don't agree about Purina. I have used Purina RX foods many, many times without a problem.
Not sure why you are disappointed. I don't agree with your thoughts on food..and you don't agree with mine. I don't research...research is done by the experts and I am not one. I am merely a pet owner who is feeding what I believe is safest and healthiest for my pets. That is it..nothing more to it.
