I do not think I was splitting hairs. It was more about the degree of information in your first post.

Bad breath has various causes, but mostly it's either oral/dental disease or digestive issues. If it was my kitten I'd have it off the junk food and straight onto raw meaty bones and suchlike. ESPECIALLY at such a critical time as teething when the oral cavity is sore and ripped, bloody and susceptible to infection.

I think there is a big difference between saying something cannot eat vegetables matter to saying it MUST eat raw meat. Having said that I did not disagree with what you tried to say in your original post so much as was concerned over the emphasis placed on a couple of items without the relevant information. I only tried to say to take care, and not dive into giving only one (or even two) kind of raw food. The point about fish is that it is not normally a natural part of most felines diet and is deficient in specific nutrients so if too much is given then it will be come nutritionally lacking in a cats diet (unless a supplement is used). These are things that an uninformed person could easily fall into doing from what was first posted.
Having said that your second post was far more informative if you want to feed a pet raw food, although I must point out that certain people these days have to take parenting classes to find out what is good food to feed their children.
