A character is given food he/she [[DoesNotLikeSpam doesn't like]] or doesn't want to eat for some reason. To avoid consuming it, as well as not hurting the feelings of or angering whoever prepared it, the character may give the food to the dog to eat or try to throw it in the trash. [[EvenTheRatsWontTouchIt Sometimes, the dog may outright reject the food, indicating how bad the food is]]. It's commonly but not always a StockYuck, such as vegetables, and in the case of vegetables it may be a child secretly disposing of it to trick their parent into [[GreensPrecedeSweets allowing them to eat dessert]].
