Chicken Meal?
There's chicken meal, and then there's chicken meal. Ultimately, you have to know what's being rendered.
The kibble I buy uses only human-grade ingredients, so all the ingredient going in are fit for human consumption. The chicken is then rendered into a powder than can be used to form a dry kibble.
Now, if your pet food manufacturer renders chicken beaks, feathers and feet, then the quality of the meal you're getting is sub-standard.
It's much like making a meat-loaf. You can start with fatty, gristly ground beef, or you can start with ground sirloin. The end product will be very different, both nutritionally and in taste!
