Know your ingredients, what "meal" or "byproducts" mean..AAFCO definitions

I found this link while searching for info on another post, which has very clear information on the AAFCO's definitions of ingredients in pet food. It is a great resource, and anyone feeding cats would benefit from checking it out:

I noticed that eh....the fee to access..... it should be free info IMHO.
