What's the deal with Hill's m/d?

M/D is also used for diabetic cats. Purinia has had DM out for some
time and now Purina has competition.

Sadly it doesn't look like what I'm looking for. I was hopeful.

Adkin's diet for cats? Steve, you elluded to this. Now that the
cat
is out of the bag, do you feel like sharing? What is the
protein
source?

LOL - Seems Hill's learned something useful. I wonder if Steve already
updated his knowledge.

I asked because remember when Steve was saying that he had a cat on
the Adkin's diet? It seemed that Hill's was maybe beta testing
something.

This M/D stuff does not look good. Pork by-products, corn gluten meal, corn
meal, powdered cellulose??? What kills me is that it has not real chicken
liver, but chicken liver "flavor". I do think Hill's is on the right track
making foods with less carbs but boy do they need to change their ingredients
to something more substantially appropriate for a carnivore, IMO.

Cheryl, yep, I remember. I also remember he said it didn't work. In a
biochemical perspective, if the carbohydrate intake is not much lower
than the demand of the brain for glucose, it won't work. If this food
had only undigestible starch (like cellulose), it would work but I bet
there would be a lot of constipation. But once you add corn, forget it
since I presume the carb level is more than just 2 or 3%.

Lauren, it couldn't look good coming from them. LOL But... it's a
start toward something better. This is why criticizing can be *very
constructive.*
