I feed raw and have had no problems at all... And i am here to tell you that if I can do it - anyone can do it. I am a single mom with 2 teenagers and I work full time. I have found it really quite easy. The only problems i have run into are when I forget to take meat out of the freezer. In the morning it takes me about 10 minutes. I juice a bunch of veggies (carrots, green leafy veggies, some fruit - etc) I add the veggie mix to ground chicken mix (this chicken (necks/backs) I buy in 40lbs for about 23.00 - I spend one day every 3 weeks or so grinding half of it. The other half I wrap in meal size portion) this gets mixed together with vitc, kelp, salmon oil, msm, and brewers yeast - I sometimes also add an egg or yogurt/cottage cheese every once in awhile. That takes about 10 min. In the evening they get raw meaty bones. I can but 4 whole chickens at costco for about 12.00. I cut them in half and freeze. Willow is eating about half a chicken for dinner. Just throw that in the bowl - your done. They wll also occasionall get pork, fish, tripe, lamb etc. But it is mostly chicken. It has really been pretty easy. I just bought one of those foodsaver things that sucks the air out of food packages. So I can prejuice tons of veggies and they won't go bad for about a week or so - makes even easier and less time.
There is a good receipe for veggie patties - it is by billinghurst. you can pre-make and then freeze. It was just kinda messy for me. I tried it for a bit but too messy
