Yeah, companies "like" Hill's that make Science Diet formulate their products
to provide the nutrition that that particular lifestage needs, based on their
over 55+ years of research and experience. Companies "like" those you describe
are more worried about appealing to the kindergarten knowledge of consumers who
have knee-jerk reactions to ingredient lists and don't know the difference
between ingredients and nutrients.

Not going to go over this *yet again* with you.



Therefore, IMO, it's a bit disingenuous to compare these two
different foods. Just my $.02!



Did you miss all of the posts that confirm that "kitten" or "growth" foods are
THE SAME as "all life stages" foods? It's not disingenuous at all.

Did you miss my differentiating between AAFCO feeding trial definitions
and actual *formulation*? Go back and read, please. Thank you.
