The argument I've heard agaisnt raw food, is not about the nutritional value
of a raw meat diet, it's the fact that poultry produced in the US is not
intended for raw consumption, it's not kept cold enough or thoroughly
screened for parasytes, because producers assume it will be cooked. I just
wonder if maybe it's worth that risk in order to feed my kitties a great
diet that they love, or not because they are already compromised. Also as
much as I hear about parasytes being a major issue, I've never heard of an
actual pet getting them from raw food.

I personally am still not 100% sure about raw food. You get the argument
that this is what cats eat in the wild, well like it or not, they aren't
wild anymore and have under gone changes due to years of being domesticated.
So, I can only go by my own experience and ours was good, no problems with
parasites.
