> I find myself getting jealous of my dogs. I mean, they’ve got this miracle foodstuff, that provides them with all the nutrition, fiber, vitamins, etc. that they need, and keeps their coat shiny and their teeth clean as well. Now, I appreciate a varied diet. Every so often, I feel the urge to make a good beef with broccoli, or split pea soup, or chili; there’s a Thai restaurant down the road that amazes me constantly, and sometimes that craving for a fast-food burger is hard to resist. But for m…

End once and for all the debate over whether or not there is demand for such a product! I ask those who are too busy to cook a decent meal to take a few seconds to vote YES on People Kibble!

> I have an idea on how to make your own people kibble. first in a big blender blend together everything you need (all the vitamins nutrients etc) (i am not entirekly sure what this is, but do research) then once it is blended together, mix it in a bowl with flour to make a dough, then cook it. Once it is hard, cut it into little tiny pieces, boom ppl kibble. oh btw you might want to add some vanilla extract or something a bit sweet

The first two above were revived as late as 2010.

> Just wandering through some blogs and I ran across an old post about a patented idea for a [compressed food](http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2012/10/condensed-ration.html). I could see this as bachelor chow, but also fuel for farting contests! Add some sort of minerals and vitamins and assorted amino acids and I think it would appeal to a bunch of people. I sort of wonder what it would taste like, it seems lacking in seasoning.

> In “Futurama,” Philip Fry is often seeing consuming “Bachelor Chow,” which as the name would suggest is a commercial food made to feed a human. The implication is that it’s boring to eat but provides a person with the right nutrition to remain alive, like Dog Chow does for dogs. Is there a commonly available food stuff - something you could buy at a grocery store, and not have to combine two or more things (except water, if applicable) that would serve as Bachelor Chow? That is, a human could…
