新鮮事：你有沒有好奇過狗糧、貓糧的味道？
你有沒有好奇過狗糧、貓糧的味道？畢竟聞着挺香的。
美國一狗糧公司老闆就做出了驚人之舉。爲了證明他家的狗糧是非常健康的，新年伊始他豪邁地吃了一個月的狗糧......
Way back when, dogs ate standard grocery store kibble that no human would want to eat. But now, plenty of dog food companies make stuff that sounds good enough to eat—and one guy is doing just that to prove a point.
以前，狗狗吃的都是雜貨店裏出售的普通雜糧，而且沒有人願意去吃這種狗糧。然而，如今很多狗糧公司生產的狗糧聽起來就很不錯，而有一個人爲了證明狗糧好吃，就去吃狗糧了。
Mitch Felderhoff, who is part owner of the holistic dog food company Muenster Milling Company, decided to eat his company’s dog food for a month to show everyone that it’s actually pretty healthy stuff.
米奇•費爾德霍夫是明斯特製粉公司的合夥人，該公司主營各類狗糧。爲了向所有人證明其公司的狗糧真的很健康，費爾德霍夫決定吃一個月的狗糧。
Felderhoff told Dallas-area NBC 5 that he wanted to do this to prove to people that the company's dog food is safe for their pet to eat. "So we thought let's put a face behind the bag and let's show them that we trust what we're putting in the food. We thought, 'There's no better way to do it than to eat our own food.' We thought, 'We're not going to feed your dog anything that we haven't eaten ourselves,'" he said.
費爾德霍夫告訴美國廣播公司（NBC）達拉斯地區第5頻道，他這樣做是爲了向人們證明，大家的寵物可以安全地享用其公司生產的狗糧。“我們想，我們自己試一下我們的產品，向大家表明我們相信我們的產品。我們認爲，‘最好的方法就是我們自己去嘗一下。我們不會餵你的狗狗吃任何我們自己還沒有吃過的東西，’”他說道。
So…he’s kicking off 2020 by eating, well, dog food. According to Felderhoff, he’s been making meals out of his company’s freeze-dried dog foods and snacking on its kibble.
所以，2020年他開始吃狗糧。據費爾德霍夫表示，他一直在用其公司的凍幹狗糧做飯，還把狗糧當零食吃。
Felderhoff also went on the company’s Instagram account to talk about what he’s eating. Their beef meatballs are “the bomb,” he said in one post. In the video, Felderhoff can be seen taking a bite of the meatball. “Mmm…that is something else,” he said. “I know dogs love it.”
費爾德霍夫還在其公司的Instagram賬戶上談論過他的飲食。他在一篇帖子裏用“the bomb（炸彈）”來稱呼他們的牛肉丸子。在視頻中，費爾德霍夫咬了一口肉丸。“嗯……那是另一回事，”他說。“我知道狗狗喜歡這種肉丸。”

狗糧的起源與發展
1860年，美國一個電工詹姆斯·斯普拉特(James Spratt)乘船前往倫敦推銷避雷針，偶然發現他的狗特別喜歡吃水手吃剩的餅乾。他靈機一動，拿來麪粉、蔬菜、肉，加水攪拌，開始製造、銷售 狗糧。人類歷史上的第一份商業狗糧就是這樣誕生的。
1954年，拉爾斯通-普瑞納公司嘗試在米粉、鹽和糖裏摻入乳化動物肝臟、脫脂牛奶、大豆粉等原料，攪拌混合後的漿狀物在瀝青地上晾乾後，味道與爆米花相似，深受寵物狗的喜愛。
發展至今，狗糧已有百餘年曆史。“選用最優質的天然原料精製而成，更有充足的助長鈣奶；100%全面均衡營養，對寵物的微量元素均衡方面做了非常充分的調和”......市面上狗糧品類繁多、價格不一，人類爲狗狗的健康確實費了苦心。
