> my dogs eat better food than the majority of the world
This immediately reminded me of Viktor Belenko [1] who flew his MiG-25 to Japan and defected. He wrote (I think, in his autobiography, it could have been an interview) of the amazement that dawned upon him when he entered a Western supermarket for the first time.
edit: found it.
"Once I bought a can which said "dinner." I cooked it with potatoes, onions, and garlic-it was delicious. Next morning my friends ask me, "Viktor, did you buy a cat?" It was a can of chicken-based cat food. But it was delicious! It was better than canned food for people in Russia today. And I did test it. Last year I brought four people from Russia for commercial project, and I set them up. I bought nibble sized human food. I installed a pâté, and it was cat food. I put it on crackers. And they did consume it, and they liked it. So the taste has not changed." [2]

- mlvljr 11y agoI honestly always liked the smell of Whiskas (not that I ever tested it) :)
- jessaustin 11y agoI grew up in and have lived mostly in USA, but I've never understood canned pet food. Pets will eat anything you feed them, eventually. Why choose to feed them something expensive and wasteful?
