Why Do Cookies and Ass Wipes Come in the Same Package?:

Can you open a bottle of wine with a shoe? Apparently. Should you? Well, if it takes that much banging, I’d certainly avoid opening any older than, say, a 2009.

So, yes, go ahead and use this with your Thanksgiving beaujolais nouveau.

“the one person we heard who complained about the fish fryer mix-up wasn’t even vegan, she was an uppity-vegetarian! Please don’t punish the vegans for a vegetarian’s folly.”

- vegansaurus!, Mission Burger is CANCELLING ITS VEGAN BURGER OH DEAR GOD NO

Vegans should, I think, for the most part, consider, at least with some regularity, perhaps STFU.

“The difference between allergy and distaste is a fine line, but to guests it’s just the same. I am allergic to onions, only if I see them.”

We can’t pass real health-care reform to cover the uninsured because that’s evil socialism.

Meanwhile, in Belgium there’s this.

And, while I can’t find it on the Internet (I know, I think it’s a socialist plot that Obama’s behind, too), I have it on good authority that there is at least another photo with a cutline that begins: “A farmer sprays manure towards a police line …”

This anatomy of a burger doesn’t even get into the sources of the four different packing plants’ beef.

Industrial food in amazing.

Hardee’s TV ads about how AMAZING its MADE-FROM-SCRATCH biscuits are ending on a mention of an egg and cheese biscuit with Oscar Mayer Fried Bologna.

It’s FRIED BOLOGNA. Doesn’t matter how fresh your biscuits are if you put that crap on it.

Pain-free animals could take suffering out of farming

Pain-free animals could take suffering out of farming:

The idea of creating animals that cannot feel pain brings up interesting questions. Vegetarians (and I assume vegans) are objecting. What happens when we can make what eats certain food objectionable no longer part of that food?

Could we make a pig that Jews and Muslims could eat? Could we produce a duck that produces a foie gras without force feeding? A sturgeon that doesn’t need to be killed to harvest its caviar?

My parents are in France, where they're eating scrambled eggs with truffles and ravioli with more truffles. That's OK, I'm eating poulet frites de Kentucky in the US of A.

This might be the first negative headline I’ve seen on a locally published review in, like, forever.

“As a sort of amuse-bouche, the Climate Change Tasting Menu could offer local foods and drink that actually taste worse because of climate change – such as traditional Eastern European pilsners. The starter would feature new products that have only recently been cultivated locally, thanks to climate change – Devon olive oil perhaps, accompanied by a nice glass of Kent rosé. The main course might be controversial: test-tube grown imitation meats and vegetables that recreate the flavour and mouthfeel of species that are already lost or threatened with extinction by climate change. Finally, dessert would take the form of a fruit lottery, as harvests become erratic in response to climate change-induced extreme weather events.”
