      From now on, we at /c/vegan will promote a strictly banana-based diet in humans. Fruitarians will be tolerated, but only to the extent that they take steps toward removing other fruits from their diet and becoming bananatarian. /s

          Hey, listen here, we don’t allow this kind of dangerous, abusive advice on this platform, and I’ve reported this comment. A cat is an obligate beanitarian, and by feeding it a diet of bananas, you’re slowly killing it, despite claiming to care about the wellbeing of animals and non-banana plants. If you have an ethical problem with beans, don’t own a cat; it’s that simple.

    meanwhile in the dog food discussions:

    • My dog likes bell pepers
    • My dog only eats raw racoon meet
    • my dog eats poop

    Dogs, the easiest species to feed

    Edit: they will.also eat all the crumbs and spills from the floor saving time on cleaning

      Dogs have been selectively bred to better handle foods humans eat barring some notable exceptions. Dogs significantly better grain digesting enzyme production than wild candids for example.

      That would be pigs but some dogs are actually quite close to that.

          Yup, I heard you got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

            yep because they’ll even eat the theeth and any artificial work done to it, but they will poop it out later… and we all know how that turned out for ol’ bobby

      My dog knows the command “help”, which means “oh no I spilled some food on the floor come clean it up”

    I keep seeing that “people are talking about beans”, but I don’t actually see people TALKING about beans. I’m convinced that the joke is, that nobody actually talks about beans. Just talks about how other people are talking about beans…which they aren’t. That’s somehow the joke.

    My cat loves beans (as a snack, not a meal). Do not consider this a salvo into that Lemmy civil war. My cat just loves beans and I love him.

      I had a cat that would chase me around the house if I was eating a banana. Wildest thing. They can’t taste sweet as far as I understand it. Never had a cat since that did. I miss that cat.

    I got banned from a pet food sub on reddit for what I thought was a completely innocent question. It’s a touchy subject everywhere apparently. The rumor is that pet food companies are major lurkers on pet subs and use reddit etc as an ad platform.
