Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There is every reason to believe that proto-humans ate insects, eggs, small animals and carrion with great delight, just as baboons and chimps do now. It's silly to think that they had a diet resembling the one endorsed by the raw food movement.

Some scientists theorize that proto-humans (does that mean "early homo sapiens"?) ate a lot of shellfish.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You're going to get your wish. They are already growing meat in the laboratory, so we will soon be able to buy chicken created without the bothersome and wasteful bones and, you know, chicken, attached to it. Imagine huge vats of RNA and amino acids, self assembling into giant chucks of chicken tenders. This is our future.

How very Neuromancer.

lib, please pass on my best wishes for AnotherAlaskan and family. Also, Happy Seward's Day!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Will do, juliana. Thanks! And a very Happy Seward's Day to you to, even if you are in California now.

One hates to honor Seward by doing housework, but I fear I must do a bit of that. At least I didn't yesterday!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, also, Alize is spectacularly nasty (and stank).

Oh, totally. But they were the show's main sponsor, so...

From what I've read, the tissue cultures that have been grown so far don't quite qualify as "meat" in the culinary sense. But someday!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Vegetarian JZ and Vegan Jen are both quite excited by the prospect of vat-grown bacon.

Yes, but to be fair, neither does fast-food chicken tenders.

You totally should clean your fridge & freezer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the last time I had Alize was at work one day five years ago when a coworker found a bottle still in her jacket from the night before. It really hit the spot at work at 10am, I tell you what....

The raw food thing only bugs me because it takes up so much (any) of the salad bar at Whole Foods. I don't think they have any meat on the cold part of the salad bar, which kind of bugs me already, so bleh.

Oh, in other elitist grocery store news, I tried to go to the new Trader Joe's today, and the line was still snaking all around the store. This was at 4pm ten days after the store opened. I'm going to have to give it another couple of weeks before I try again.

You look great! And that brownie picture is a classic.
