why is it that dogs, cats, hamsters, e.t.c. can always eat the same dog food, cat food, e.t.c. that they are given every day and never seem to get tired of it and always seem to get the right nutrients and be healthy, whereas humans have to eat all different kinds of foods to recieve the correct balance of nutrients and would probably get tired of eating the same thing every day? Why can't there just be like a single "human food" like there is dog food and cat food that humans can just eat it every day and get the right nutrients, e.t.c.? That would be so much easier for some people than having to worry about eating all different kinds of foods. If they can do it for animals surely they can do it for people too.

My cats actually get tired of eating the same thing, so I have to vary their diet, or else they won't eat. My birds also appreciate variety in their diet. They love to taste new foods. Im sure they probably could make a human food with the correct nutrients in it, etc... But people wouldn't go for it because food is more than just nutrition to us. We get cravings, we have traditons, etc... So basically it wouldn't sell. Also, pet foods are not really always the perfect nutrion for the pet, it's just the best that science can come up with in a package, and it's basically for human convenience. But it doesn't mean it's really best for them.
