Why is human food so bad for an animal to eat?

Eating human food is not healthy for wildlife as their bodies don’t adjust well to the salt, fat, and preservatives often found in our food. They gain weight and lose their fur and become dependent on human food.

Well real human food is good for animals. Such as fruit vegetables, meat. But when you give a dog anything that is processed or preserved like most of our food like angel said its not good, which is why dogs like eating the food so much.

My mother was certain that the dog wanted cooked food, so she one day stewed Alpo for her. The stench was so bad that the dog wouldn't eat the stuff, and neither would the poor family next door.

I would think that human food is no worse for animals than it is for us, which isn't saying much.
