Dry dog food. It checks all these boxes:
– has most of the necessary nutrients – needs no refrigeration – needs no cooking/heating – needs no preparation (just pour a bowl) – has a decent shelf life
– dogs generally like the taste
Why don’t humans have a version of this? I’m not even saying we’d have to eat it for every meal like dogs. But it’s hard to deny how convenient it would be if you could just pour yourself a bowl of human kibble, especially given that you won’t be compromising on nutritional value for choosing an easy meal.
[edit] I think too many people are missing the “has most of the necessary nutrients” part and just naming things that can be consumed dry like chips, granola, jerky, etc. Dogs can eat nothing but kibble and be healthy. Can you eat nothing but jerky and be healthy?
That said, it does sound like there are some products out there that are nearly there, just comes down to taste, price
