I have done a ton research in regards to food, upon further reflection there are better articles I seen in the past that i should have linked (but didn't have time) as this is not a particular good article and pretty sensational. So my intentions were good, just a rather poor choice of article to link. Sorry if this offended your wife.
In simple terms, cats in a natural state (wild) are pretty much pure carnivores so I am challenged to understand how any cheaper fillers (such as grains) or poor quality meats (such as animal by products) are healthy to an animal the has evolved almost solely as a carnivore.
Personal, we feed our cats north american based canned with no grain added. We got our cats not to long after the 2007 pet food recalls where there was melamine contaminated ingredients originally sourced from China which resulted in a number of pet deaths. So I am reluctant to feed them with any foods with uncertain origins.
