This food is a good value, and good consistency.  Has good ingredients.  My only problem is it doesn't seem super appealing to cats.  They will go for it if you heat it up a little, or mix it with other food, but they aren't overly enthusiastic about it.  That's good enough for me, but there are a few out there that my cats go nuts that fill most of those positives, except none of them have the value of this one.  So yeah, trade off.  Haven't found my 5 star yet.
