This doesn't mean there is no difference, but we don't have the equipment to measure the difference. There are some nutritionist who believe that the less processed our diets are the better for us. There is no proof of this, but many nutritionists are started to lean that way. There is also no proof that organic fruits and vegetables are better for us either, we don't have the equipment to show the differences. We do now know that organic gardening is better for the earth, but nothing shows it's healthier for us, yet. What this tells me is we don't have enough information. The website is neither gospel or worthless, it can add to your overall understanding of nutrition if you read enough. By the way, figuring out if you get value for your money, is far from meaningless to me.
I see your point, but my head is still spinning. A and C level foods have been available for decades, though, and if something hasn't been proven by the millions of dogs fed on these foods for their entire lives, perhaps there never will be. It all comes back to feeding what your own dog likes and does best on. If Bella did equally well on Orijen and Ol Roy, wouldn't Ol Roy be the best value, for all intents and purposes, since you can get a huge bag for just a few bucks? (Don't worry, I would never feed Bella Ol Roy--that's just an example.)
