Here is my problem with by-products in cat food:

http://cats.about.com/od/catfoodglos...meatbyprod.htm
What AAFCO doesn't mention is that meat byproducts may also legally contain: "4D animals (dead, dying, diseased, down), road kill, euthanized cats and dogs, including their collars. These source products are rendered, the fat is siphoned off to be used as "animal fat," and the remaining material is extruded to form "meat by-product meal."
If it was only organs/bone/etc. I would have no problem with them in my cats' food.

The problem with that is, as I have found to be true with ANYTHING in life, is if it is legal...they will 9 times out of 10 do it.
