你有没有好奇过狗粮、猫粮的味道？毕竟闻着挺香的。

美国一狗粮公司老板就做出了惊人之举。为了证明他家的狗粮是非常健康的，新年伊始他豪迈地吃了一个月的狗粮......

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，狗狗吃的都是杂货店里出售的普通杂粮，而且没有人愿意去吃这种狗粮。然而，如今很多狗粮公司生产的狗粮听起来就很不错，而有一个人为了证明狗粮好吃，就去吃狗粮了。

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•费尔德霍夫是明斯特制粉公司的合伙人，该公司主营各类狗粮。为了向所有人证明其公司的狗粮真的很健康，费尔德霍夫决定吃一个月的狗粮。

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.

费尔德霍夫告诉美国广播公司（NBC）达拉斯地区第5频道，他这样做是为了向人们证明，大家的宠物可以安全地享用其公司生产的狗粮。“我们想，我们自己试一下我们的产品，向大家表明我们相信我们的产品。我们认为，‘最好的方法就是我们自己去尝一下。我们不会喂你的狗狗吃任何我们自己还没有吃过的东西，’”他说道。

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年他开始吃狗粮。据费尔德霍夫表示，他一直在用其公司的冻干狗粮做饭，还把狗粮当零食吃。

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.”

费尔德霍夫还在其公司的Instagram账户上谈论过他的饮食。他在一篇帖子里用“the bomb（炸弹）”来称呼他们的牛肉丸子。在视频中，费尔德霍夫咬了一口肉丸。“嗯……那是另一回事，”他说。“我知道狗狗喜欢这种肉丸。”

狗粮的起源与发展

1860年，美国一个电工詹姆斯·斯普拉特(James Spratt)乘船前往伦敦推销避雷针，偶然发现他的狗特别喜欢吃水手吃剩的饼干。他灵机一动，拿来面粉、蔬菜、肉，加水搅拌，开始制造、销售 狗粮。人类历史上的第一份商业狗粮就是这样诞生的。

1954年，拉尔斯通-普瑞纳公司尝试在米粉、盐和糖里掺入乳化动物肝脏、脱脂牛奶、大豆粉等原料，搅拌混合后的浆状物在沥青地上晾干后，味道与爆米花相似，深受宠物狗的喜爱。

发展至今，狗粮已有百余年历史。“选用最优质的天然原料精制而成，更有充足的助长钙奶；100%全面均衡营养，对宠物的微量元素均衡方面做了非常充分的调和”......市面上狗粮品类繁多、价格不一，人类为狗狗的健康确实费了苦心。
