Check out the first few ingrediants in the Science Diet Adult Advanced Fitness Original Dry Formula: "Chicken, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Wheat, Chicken By-Product Meal, Soybean Meal.."

Now lets compare it to similar formulas by other expensive brands:

Now take a look at the cheaper ones. Which one does Hill's Science Diet resemble more?
