what i was using the chart for was to compare what i feed(chicken soup for the cat lovers soul-adult light) to the other popular brands. I really like the ingrediants it contains (comparison wise) such as chicken, salmon as the first two listed ingrediants, instead some the other stuff the other brands contain. I do agree with you as well, all those ingrediants listing is quite confusing all i know is my two really love their food...no finicky eaters here
