      I dream with a human kibble too. The closest things I’ve found is Soylent and it’s competitors.

        I actually have quite enjoyed Soylent!

        However, it’s designed for people with normal metabolisms and digestive systems.

        My metabolism is giga fucked forever and I’ve basically already consumed an entire lifetime’s worth of carbohydrates. So carbs make me sick. Joint pain, inflammation, swelling in the extremities of my limbs, fatigue, trouble sleeping… I know it’s carbs because these symptoms stop when I stop eating carbohydrates.

        They’re just really gods damned hard to avoid.

          Sorry to hear that! But yeah, I enjoy it too. It took a couple of tries to get used to the soy flavor, but after that, it’s great! If I’m too depressed or lazy to feed myself I can just make a glass of sweet vanilla-dlavored dystopian slop and that’s it. It’s great mixed with fruit and yogurt too.

        I make my own. Pasta and rice, some veggies, maybe a bit of protein thrown in. I like it because I can just shovel it into my mouth instead of having to cut or eat it in small bites.

      Pretty sure kibble is shit for their kidneys. Dry food isn’t perfect for them obviously. For cats for instance a lot of cat food contains grains, which they shouldn’t ever eat. Only the shittiest brands like Whiskas do that though.

        It’s designed to constipate them as well. You don’t want your dog shitting 8 times a day.

          Yup. The only dry food that is fine is 100% freeze dried meat / fish, but only as a treat, so again their kidneys don’t take a huge hit. Cats usually don’t like drinking water itself (they take in water from their killed prey usually) and feeding them anything dry makes them even more susceptible to kidney problems.

              Well, obviously they need something of actual substance. But cat soups exist and are actually recommended like 3 times a week or so. I keep adding water to his foodbowl and he eats it up and drinks all the water usually, which is kind of like giving them a soup with meat chunks in it. He also has a seperate bowl for straight up water. One additional benefit from dunking it all in water, is it lasts longer, since wetfood tends to dry out really quickly.

      Eh. Dog kibble is engineered to benefit the human. They should be eating a variety of fresh foods. Majority meat, organ, and a calcium source with some fresh vegetables thrown in for vitamins. Kibble is human laziness, capitalist “innovation,” and sacrificing our supposed beloved pets for our own convenience and to save money.
