When I fed raw I bought hunks of meat from a raw food supplier, got the OH's old deer hunting saw out for some of it. Some was ground. I did try some of that pre-packaged raw because at one point there were some really good coupons for one brand and it was easier. But it was mostly me working out a monthly menu of BARF, got our VET's ok,(she strongly encourages raw) and I did make it at home in my own kitchen. I even bought a high end blender for the veggies part. Vet prefers a juicer. So I'm not laughing, but I do sort of think the pre-packaged is used not much differently than kibble by some, same thing all the time, going by comments on a raw FB group.
