This philosophy of Hill´s (and some other companies)
treating consumers as morons infuriates me. It shows how much the
company respects their customer - nothing at all. They
(customers) are all a bunch of easily-manipulated imbeciles. So
let´s go ahead and launch the 15% carbs Atkin´s type diet even
knowing it doesn´t work. Who cares? We are making money and
that´s all that matters.


Have you checked out Hill's newest "formula" called Advanced
Protection? Ingredients:
Brewers rice, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, corn
meal, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric
acid), dried egg product, chicken liver flavor, fish oil
(preserved with mixed tocopherols and ascorbic acid),
DL-methionine, L-lysine, natural flavor, taurine, L-cysteine,
L-carnitine, preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid,
minerals (potassium chloride, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate,
salt, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, manganous
oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), rosemary extract,
beta-carotene, vitamins (choline chloride, vitamin A supplement,
vitamin E supplement, vitamin D3 supplement,
L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a source of Vitamin C), niacin,
thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine
hydrochloride, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement).

Again, it looks like another grain based diet, cooked to death,
and then they throw some vitamins in. I still haven't figured out
exacftly what dried egg product is, and once again, they add
chicken liver "flavor" but no chicken liver. Animal fat could be
from any source, who knows? Ah wait, I just found this website:
