Orijen isnt packed with meal at all - the first ingredient in all of their prodcts is meat meaning it has the highest inclusion. They use human grade meats too. The 2 meals are from stated animals which is also good. Theres nothing toxic about it, and I said in an earlier post Orijen is probably second to a very well judged BARF diet. Asside from giving them raw bones - meal would be the only way a kibble could include carcass etc.
I really dont know what your talking about grain free foods makes ingredients stick together? youve lost me there.
Grains arent included as some are poisonous ie corn, some cause irritation ie wheat and some are not easily digested ie maize.
I think your trying to recommend Lillys Kitchen bake or something. Organic foods dont really have that much nutritional gusto over normally produced foods. Organic foods are really a lifestyle choice originally designed to get people aware of chemicals used in farming. There have been longitudal comparison studies done on organic v's regualar diets and the results showed no exposure to anything harmfull and no benefits as far as general health between the two.
This isnt a competetion to outdo each other on pet foods - its simply a dicussion to give people an idea of what foods might be suitable for
their dog. The best is always debatable and could go on for ever....
