If I find food, I was taught that it's best to test it on a politician or a dog, first.

What have you got against dogs? Use a politician's family. They are a lower form of life than a dog, or some of the smarter bugs, and of far less use to society. They just BELIEVE that they are not leeches on the groin of humanity.
Anyone who would linger around the slug who runs for office, expecting to benefit from his/her/it's droppings, forfeits any respect.
