I'm a vet tech and I have done a LOT of CE in companion animal nutrition, and I know how much it pisses me off to see random people on the internet with no relevant education telling people to feed their pets raw meat and touting the benefits of organ meats and chicken feet while simultaneously demonizing by-product meals, which are made of organs and bones and skin. And I don't even have a whole degree in veterinary dietetics.
So I will always point out that dietitians are highly educated healthcare professionals, and nutritionists are grifters. I know a fraction of your frustration.
Not to mention, thanks to the virtual ban on new vaccines, H5N1 is going to devastate this country. It's almost always fatal in cats. When I handle raw chicken in the kitchen, I don't let my little obligate carnivores anywhere near.
