Think about it..Its a cheap filler. Where would dogs or cats EVER eat corn in the wild? Roaming the neighbourhood? They wouldnt. So why put it in pet food? Cheap filler that people make money off of selling to pet food companies. Simple as that.
I'm not debating whether it's filler. I know it's there to pad the protein figures and cut down the reliance on expensive meat protein. I'm debating whether the corn is actually digestible.

From Prin's original comment about Felidae:
"Do you see how much meat is in this food? Do you see how there's no corn? Cats and dogs can't digest corn very well. It's in there as a filler- it boosts the protein numbers and is VERY cheap. Meat, on the other hand, is very digestible, but expensive."
