You know, dogs evolved to be scavengers which means their bodies work well to derive nutrition out of whatever comes their way.
That said, I prefer avoiding corn, wheat, soy and by-products. Kirkland Signature, and Diamond Naturals don't use any of that.
We recommend avoiding those (to out adopters) and if they do that, I'm happy.
You can go overboard with "highest quality food" recommendations but if people are struggling to feed themselves a good diet, and put fuel in the tank I'm not going to knock them for feeding DN or 4health or whatever.
And there reason I say that is not a lot of cost difference between some of those and some Purina products.

I'm sorry, but when I wait to buy ground hamburger for ourselves to eat because it's too expensive to buy except on sale, I'm not going to feed it to my dogs.I just happen to get some burger today for a buck off. A pound and a half was 2.98. I made 4 baggies worth, froze 3, and he has enough for treats today and tomorrow, out of one baggie. Tony eats it raw, his eyes get as big as softballs, watching me getting it ready.
