I would have to point out that food made for pets is NOT safe for human consumption. There is not the level of sanitation that is required to be safe for humans to eat. Our digestive system is much different than that of a dog. For the most part dogs do not get sick from things like Salmonella or E. coli. These things can actually make a human so sick they will die!
Don't eat pet food, people. It is just a bad idea.

Well, I don't know. (Miranda or is it Jason - I actually thought you guys would write about the humanizing aspect. :D)
Both Newman's Organics and Natural Balance use human grade - at least that's what they claim. I saw both Paul Newman and Dick Van Patten on Jay Leno actually eat their own brands of dog foods - canned - claimed it to be yummy :eek:.
I'm not talking a serving size of Dog Chow, I'm talking a single piece of kibble (high quality - Orijen for instance) and a piece of biscuit.
I guarantee their are worse things in our human food chain. FWIW, I actually got E. Coli from eating fresh spinach purchased at Whole Foods :rolleyes:.
Even if a company claims to use 'human grade' products, the facilities and practices used in production of the product are not kept to human food-grade sanitation standards. I don't think a single piece of high end dog kibble would kill you. I am just saying it is not a good idea, in general, to eat food that isn't produced specifically for people.
Well I feed my boys..and one girl The Honest Kitchen, Preference or Sojos, grainfree dogfood mix, and I am amazed at how good it smells. I have tried it, before I mixed the raw meat into it (even though I am on 85% raw myself, raw meat doesn't sound appetizing so I won't try that), and it was very tasty, especially the Sojos, it smells and taste like the best meatloaf..minus the meat of course.
The Honest Kitchen has human taste testers on their staff and their treats makes my two legged kids mouths water..
I have yet to try kibble, or canned for that matter, but I can also add, that Merrick's canned foods look like the best stews ever..my fur kids didn't like them however and I am still baffled as to why they didn't..maybe because they have had raw and that is their favorite ..no need to go canned, in their opinion.
If dog food was the mainstay of a human diet, I could see many problems ensuing. However, I can remember as a child tasting my cat's and dog's food just to see why they liked it so much. Didn't do me any harm.
I'm fine!…I'm fine!....I'm fine!....(sorry, backfire) 
I too can remember eating a Dog biscuit as a child, it was a Black one and tasted like charcoal,yuk.
When my boys were young i had a friend who was a strict vegetarian and fed her baby son a wholesome veggie diet. Once he was crawling he crawled to the cats dish, scooped out a handful of tinned cat food and ate it
When I was a kid I tried dog biscuits many times thinking one must taste as good as it smelled - NOT! Never did find a good one. :mad:
I've never done it, but have been very tempted to try freeze dried liver treats.
etzbseder: Knock yourself out. Liver sounds very unappetizing to me. I'll give my share to AJ.
Haha. I've made myself heart from the grocery store, and I liked it. I've had liver and onions and chopped liver, and they were good too. Freeze dried, just dounds so … dry... Medjai seems to like it though.
