But even the masters eat scraps that fall from their dogs’ tables…
That’s a variation on a (fairly) famous Bible verse (Matthew 15:27) that emphasizes how pet food/care is getting ridiculous. I ran across this website today that sells dog food that is supposed to improve your dog’s health. Specifically, their dog grub contains “natural bioactive ingredients, which specifically target harmful biological processes responsible for ulcer, cancer, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases.” That’s all well and good — I’m in favor of healthy dogs — but at $2 per dog biscuit, it almost becomes a commentary on modern society. While 852 million people don’t have enough to eat each day, we’re spending $12 (+shipping) on a box of dog treats.
