Not sure what you're disagreeing with....that's almost exactly what I said.

I'm not sure who you think is brainwashed......I strongly believe the best an owner can feed is the diet that their dog can tolerate best that provides the nutrients they need to maintain health. For some that may be raw, for others home-prepared cooked, and for yet others whose owners do not have the ability to provide a nutritionally complete diet for whatever reason (whether it's balanced over time or per meal makes no difference as long as its balanced and the nutrients can be assimilated), the best bet to avoid deficiencies is a commercially prepared diet that provides the nutrients a dog needs. That last one, I fear, happens to be most of the dog population.
