Study rating commercial food

[Caro]

I don't recall this study having been posted before so sorry if you've read it.

The study was done in 2011 by John Martinez, a Vet school candidate (sorry I don't know the system in the US so don't know what that means). Anyway, he looked at 245 brands based on the Goldstein Wellness and Longevity methodology, looking at level of processing and formulation. Ziwi-Peak from New Zealand topped the list. The distribution is quite interesting given the discussions here about what is the best food.

Here's an outline of the study

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I don't see the food I have mine on now in that list, but then it's a Canadian prepared food from a Canadian company.
