But I've come to realise that some people just don't want to feed raw / can't feed raw / won't feed raw. To you and me that's a shame, but all the same if those folks are going to buy a kibble I'd at least like to help them choose a 'decent' one. As we know, animal/meat protein is by far the best for dogs and as such a kibble with 70% named, free range, antibiotic and hormone free meat in it is by far preferable to a generic, 'mixed cereal and animal byproduct derivatives' product consisting almost entirely of soy protein and chemicals.

As such I've had to learn to 'dial back' a bit and where someone clearly doesn't want to know about raw, at least try to be helpful. I still usually get the raw comments in though. Gentle nudges...
