Pets are always down to eat human food, but that doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s good for them.Anyone whose had a cat or dog knows what it&#39;s like to watch an animal beg, or not-so-subtly sit to stare at your meal with longing. If you have boundaries, you learn how to resist this begging so you don&#39;t risk the slippery slope of sharing food with an animal, and potentially giving them something toxic down the road.However, house guests aren&#39;t always as thoughtful around this, and all it takes is a hapless friend offering an animal food from their plate to create chaos.In a popular post on the AITA subreddit, a woman asked if she was out of line for throwing out her husband&#39;s friend&#39;s food after he fed the cat garlic bread against her wishes.She wrote: AITA for throwing out my husband&#39;s friend&#39;s food?
