+1 on everything Fuzz posted. Vet food can be a scam, I don't think all vets promote particular food or intentionally deceive clients. There are big corporations at play here with predictable results.

Quote for the following link:

"And part of the problem, as a Mail investigation can reveal, is that much of the veterinary industry is inextricably linked to the pet-food manufacturers.
Research into pet food is carried out by the pet-food companies but, more surprisingly, the training of vets at some universities is also funded by pet-food manufacturers.
Crucially, lectures on nutrition at a number of vet schools, and for veterinary nurses at individual practices, are also often paid for - and even taught - by these huge corporations, giving them the ideal platform to promote their products."

It is best that you do you own research and draw your own conclusions about which food to buy for your kitten.
