Can we stop saying “dogfooding” and “eat your own dog food” as slang for using of your own products and services in the same way as a customer? We can do better. We are not dogs. We are people.

"Eat what you cook" is a much better term, and what I currently use. However, it doesn't simplify to the “dogfooding" form.

Let's start a thread, to gather the possibilities.
