   And a bad one at that. Protein is not protein. It's well established   
   that different protein sources provide different rates of breakdown. And   
   fat is also not fat. There are saturated fats, unsaturated fats,   
   trans-fats, natural fats, chemical fats. All have different properties   
   and metabolize differently in the body. Ditto carbs.   
      
   Whoever this yahoo is, don't listen to him. No, Old Roy is NOT the same   
   as the super premium foods. Among the extremely common differences you   
   will see are coat structure, length, thickness, and gloss, skin   
   suppleness, pad quality, thickness (cracked versus thick and smooth),   
   general condition, energy, endurance, amount needed to be fed (i.e.,   
   better quality food feed less and get better result), stool quantity and   
   quality, and overall health.   
      
   If all food was the same, there would be no difference between a diet of   
   quarter pounders and a diet of equal protein gotten from lean meats,   
   fish, and chicken.
