I feed my puppy (and my ex still feeds our cat) nothing but "people food". I don't give him much cooked food, though. His main food is raw meat (beef or pork) or poultry. And, I eat tons of fruits and veggies and I give him some of mine every day. He still begs somewhat (but no more than my dog before that I only fed dog food til he was 13, at which point i switched him to the raw diet). I just tell him to back off, though, and, he usually does his staring from about five feet away. (:
