Are you kidding me? 50-calorie snack packs for dogs? Come on.
100-calorie snack packs annoy me. First of all, people confuse the word snack pack with nutrition. Chips, cookies and Coke are not nutrition.
Second, you’re spending more than twice as much money for these snack packs.
A full bag of chips cost around 17 cents an ounce. The 100-calorie pack chips cost around 40 cents an ounce.
Here’s an idea, market bananas as an 80-calorie snack pack. How about water, the zero-calorie snack packs.
Now we need snack packs for dogs?
Instead of caloric restriction, maybe we should let our dogs out to play more.
When my dog was a puppy, she played outside. Now she spends hours on the Internet, playing Nintendo Wii and watching Animal Planet. She’s a huge fan of Meerkat Manor.
I give her treats. It doesn’t matter if they’re large or small, she’s happy either way. The treat is 20 calories. I can buy a small box of 50-calorie treats for the same cost of a large bag of doggie treats.
If you compare the ingredients of the 50-calorie dog snack pack to 100-calorie snack packs, the doggie snacks are healthier. Maybe we should eat those instead.
