It's hard to argue that the ingredients in processed dog foods are as good as fresh. However, more than one vet has told me, maybe on this bbs, that the large makers like Purina have conducted many years (maybe many decades) of testing for the nutritional values of their foods. They know what balance of various constituents will give a correct diet for longterm health and performance.
I know more than one person that feeds all cooked people foods; meats, veggies, etc. What I don't know is whether or not this is better or worse than feeding a high quality dog food in the long run since not knowing what is the right balance is the issue. As such, I'll keep feeding ProPlan.
