Would you tuck into your pet's dinner?

If the thought of chomping your pet's food revolts you, think again because, according to today's Sun newspaper, pet food may be better for you than most fast food. Now there's a surprise!

So it's no more pizza, chicken in a bucket, burgers or kebabs for you after a night out! Instead, you should be going down the pet aisle of your local supermarket and seeing what grabs your fancy - Chum, Chappie or Whiskas to name but a few. Apparently this is because pet food is more tightly regulated than human food and contains less of the bad guys - salt, fat and sugar!

Personally, I can't see the Mistress tucking into what she serves me - those dreadful brown pellets. They cost an arm and a leg and she can only get this food from the vet. Of course, I HAVE lost weight without having to resort to training for a marathon so maybe, just maybe, she'll be sneaking in a handful or two of my food....

And those cheeky chaps at Wapping (The Sun's HQ) are looking for people who have dined on dog food. If you have, call The Sun on 020 7782 4266. They promise to call you straight back.

Woof Woof

PS if you like the science bits, here they are:

Gourmet Gold cat food has just 2.9g of fat per 100g — EIGHT TIMES less than the percentage found in pieces of KFC.

Cesar dog food uses just 4.4g of fat in every 100g — and has lower salt and sugar levels than many dishes served to humans.
