Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Why will dogs eat anything?

Katie asks:
I've heard that how we taste our food depends strongly on our sense of smell. But my dog, with her superior sense of smell, dashes off eagerly to eat whatever pungent smelling thing she finds. Why doesn't her excellent nose make her a pickier eater? Or at least less interested in what the neighbor's cat has left behind in the yard?
Can you help?
