Fellow dog owners - what food do you feed?

In many LEGO sets, there are yellow bricks. I have yellow bricks in my Star Wars ones and in my moon landing one.
If my dog required yellow bricks for nutrition, would it matter if I got them from the moon landing set or from the star wars sets??
That being said, I recognize that the good points in corn may be overshadowed by the bad. However, what many people (most of the veterinary field included) do not see is that if they would look at the NUTRITIONAL value of a food over the ingredients, and feed accordingly, even Ol Roy could keep a dog healthy.
I just see/hear too many people putting their dogs on these weirdo health freak diets, and I see the dogs suffering for it later. Oh they don't have a corn allergy, but they have almost every immune disease there is, improperly formed bones due to lack of minerals, lack of eyesight and hearing because of amino acid imbalance, etc.
The difference is that in the star wars set the yellow bricks aren't provided as by products, they're provided more naturally.
Yea I'm sure there are plenty of people that do that. You can't fix stupid, lol. There are places to seek out info on the proper ways to feed a raw diet. They aren't that hard to find, it's just that Petco doesnt have them lol

Are you saying you don't trust CSU's zoology program or vet school...? Because last time i checked they were one of the top ones in the nation.

I feed my 2 male labs blue earth brand dog food, salmon/sweet potato blend. They get veggies for treats, and the occasional bacon grease drizzled over their food. Sometimes a cheeseburger if we swing by mcdonalds after some time at the dog park.

Not true. Nikki described simple methods to switch them over earlier in the thread.

how do you know that they don't "want" a raw diet... have any dogs told you it or... turned up their nose?
I shouldnt get into this I know, but that stood out to me. Many dogs will eat anything and everything (mine is living proof...minus green beans) others will eat nothing but kibble and some will eat "crap" kibble.... Untill we can read their minds, we won't know what they "want", but thanks to science and research, we have an idea to what they NEED
