A dog that "resembles" a Victoria's Secret model, according to Herzog's book, would have long, floppy ears to match the long hair!<br /><br />Harriet, If you're up on these issues, skim the first parts.<br /><br />Jenny, Glad I reminded you of that scene, which is stuck ineluctably in my mind.<br /><br />If I lived in NYC and couldn't buy my meat from a local farmer, I might look around to see what local options there might be in a city. Even asking the questions tells the people who own the shops that you're thinking about the issue. And increasingly restaurants are advertising where the meat comes from, although I wonder just how "free-range" the chicken served at Chipotle really is.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-26838490634106966542010-11-30T21:06:50.188-05:002010-11-30T21:06:50.188-05:00I need to go rewatch 101 Dalmatians.

I had completely forgotten about that scene with Pongo picking out a girlfriend for Roger. :p<br /><br />This is one of those things I cannot decide what I am going to do about it. I really, really, really like eating meat. :( I have mostly cut pig out of my diet, but just because chickens are dumber doesn't mean they deserve to lead miserable lives.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-34018456443912216672010-11-30T09:15:10.766-05:002010-11-30T09:15:10.766-05:00I was just looking at this book wondering if it wa...I was just looking at this book wondering if it was worth a read.

This sounds like an interesting book, in spite of the generalizations and so on. At least the topic is getting treated. And now I'm off to look for a dog that resembles a, um, a, yes, a Victoria's Secret model! (ha ha)rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
