    MSN City Guides - Haute Cuisine, Head to Tail

    Interesting MSN City Guides article about a growing trend in restaurants using all parts of animals in preparing their menus. It's not only healthy, but environmentally friendly too! Also, that's a mighty fine headline if I may say so :)

    Quoted: Some high-end eateries are going whole hog (cow, lamb, chicken—you name it) by using every part of an animal.

      Derek is a big proponent of this. He's finally learned that in order to get me to eat mystery meats, he has to not tell me what it is. So far it's working. I ate dog-grade meat a few weeks ago. It was good! He put bone marrow in the spaghetti sauce a while back too ... I'm having trouble warming up to the taste of marrow. We'll be getting some tongue on Saturday. Yay?

    How to say no to your vet. - Slate Magazine

    Emily Yoffe writes great stories. Since she's a pet-owner, she really pinpoints what's wrong (and right) in the veterinary industry today (not that I have a pet...)

    Quoted: In 2004, Americans spent $18 billion to treat America's 164 million dogs and cats. Sure, you may have a health-care directive that begs your loved one to pull the plug. Grandpa's hospital bed may have a "Do Not Resuscitate" order. But how can anyone be heartless enough to refuse to treat their dead dog?

    interesting... and more people are keeping cats as indoor pets than they used to.

    Quoted: Children exposed to higher levels of cat allergen in their first 2 years of life may be at greater risk of becoming allergic to the animals, a new study from Germany shows. However, the risk of sensitization at 6 years old seems to disappear.
