Can someone explain to me why people are recomending Blue Buffalo food but never Canidae?

I used to feed my dog BB but switched to Candiae some months back because when looking at the ingredients I thought Canidae looked to have more meat.

So can someone please explain why ppl have quit rec. them and are now adding BB to the list of good foods.

Psychoanalysis: What do xenophobes repress and project?

Let’s say a “Blue” person hates “Pink” people. Supposedly, (according to my understanding of popular psychology and vulgar psychoanalysis) “blue” haters repress undesired truths about themselves and project them onto “pink” victims.

What are these truths?

Or is this a survival skill – a rational fear that the “pink” tribe will take over the “blue” land and consume all their resources?
Bella C, thanks for the answer.
To clarify the question:
1. Does psychoanalysis apply to xenophobia?
2. What does a “Blue” person a) repress and b) project when he hates all the “Pink” people (male and female)?

They are around the same price, but I have to drive farther to buy Blue Wilderness. Wellness CORE is available at a local pet store that’s a 5-minute drive from my home, whereas Blue is at least 15-20 minutes (It’s at Petsmart.)

Also…. Do you think the high protein content in Blue Wilderness is something to be concerned about?
oopsies, my mistake. Didn’t see the oatmeal. :)
