The label is in English, not Norwegian.
Why would they give troll food to a dog?

Okay, here is the Norwegian: http://www.troll-hundefor.no/public.aspx?pageid=33949

I'm sure that the product is better for both dogs and humans than Snackwell, even if it isn't labeled for human consumption.

Yeah, and the truth is that if you had to make a choice you'd gladly eat a snackwell and like it over a scoop of dog food.

The true mark of a liberal; chatter incessantly about freedom but want to ban everything.

So if pet dog went over and tried to eat a pile of s**t you would let it?Food that is unhealthy is going to cost the government more later when people get sick from eating crap.Food should only be natural ingredients,how many food additives did your granny use Raptor?

I don't have that protectionist mindset.

Try that and still feed a country with this population.
This isn't the 19th century any more.

The same as everyone else, I imagine.
I know you hillbillies eat more junk food than you want to have us believe. :shameonyou:

Your dog lives In a fenced yard in the burbs,a dog will roll in and eat feces and dead stuff.
Chemical additives cost more than food,why does the population need snack wells.An all natural oatmeal cookie is better.
Junk food is expensive and has no nutritional value,but I do indulge in some pork rinds and a cold coca-cola once in awhile.But the rinds are all natural,so are tater chips.
Why do we need chemicals to feed the population?
That picture makes me think of Jack Sprat. :lol:

No, my dog lives inside but goes out to "potty" and get some fresh air. She has had plenty of opportunities to eat poop and roll in dead things but didn't.

Defending the use of poison in food is a symptom of a disease called idiocy. There is no cure, and it always results in death.
