I don't disagree with this. I believe most of the newer foods out there can be very scary.
Blue Buffalo is one that amuses me with their commercials and how horrible these other foods are... yet they're equally as bad, IMO. Slick marketing, like you said. And people buy it and believe it.
I mean, I basically am agreeing with you, I agree that if your dog does well on a food, don't write it off as being bad just because of an ingredient or two. Look at how the ingredients work together, look at the nutrient panel, look at the research behind the food. I would never rule out a food simply because it doesn't have a popular ingredient list. But I don't think ingredients mean *nothing*. BUT, I do think there is a limit, and what I am comfortable with and as a non-professional loving pet owner, nope, I wouldn't feed the YT RC food personally. And it's fine if people do and I am sure dogs will still do well if they had before. Just not for me and I do understand why some folks are upset.
I would sooner feed Purina Sport or Purina SSS for the price and the research and feeding trials personally.
