Yup, I agree that is some more of the useful information.Sure, better if presented in a more objective manner. But I know you're not saying you don't think it's important that someone understand the difference between the label "Chicken Dinner" and "Cat Dinner with chicken."
Yeah, but it's the "decide for yourself" part that bothers me. How are they supposed to do that when misleading information is provided? People can be easily persuaded to believe what ever the writer wants them to believe by presenting information in a biased manner. If the intent is really to help people made up their own minds then the information must be presented in an objective manner. I can't tell you how many people I have seen write in the forums "I don't trust the AAFCO" but when I ask what they don't trust they can't answer. I think people frequently absorb the tone of a paper even if they don't absorb the content. If the tone is neutral they are truly forced to make up their minds for themselves.Yes, all of the bits of information can be found elsewhere in a more objective presentation. But I'd rather provide one link and let people decide for themselves what's of value and what isn't, than have to click on 10 links to provide essentially the same information.
