Mac & Cheese with a Side of...Meat?

http://www.natural-connection.com/resource/tnc_reference_library/cheese.html

While listening to the radio yesterday I heard an interesting report about Kraft Macaroni and Cheese; it may be laced with animal products. Weird right? Who would ever think a dish made of cheese and noodles could have been made from animal matters, a big concern for many vegetarians. I googled the issue and found a link to this article written by Sally Clinton. In response to reader concerns, Clinton did some research and constructed a list of companies that use vegetarian cheeses and companies that well, use animal infused cheeses. To clarify though, the cheeses these companies make aren't actually "made from animals", but made from an enzyme, rennet, which is located in the lining of the forth stomach of calves (baby cows) and other animals. So vegetarians beware and make sure to read your labels carefully because your next "meat free meal" may be far from your expectations.

Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer-- Chapters 1&2 Review

Eating Animals was written by Jonathan Safran Foer. Just by reading the title you may think the book deals with he "horrors" or "stigmas" about well, eating animals; ironically this isn't the main focus of the book. In the first chapter, Foer mostly reminisces on his early years and his battles with vegetarianism while also retelling stories of his grandmother and the differences in food's role in his life and how it was in her life. In chapter two, Foer begins to actually talk more about animals. By using dogs as an example he asks his readers how humans, specifically Americans, justify eating certain animals and not others. I found these two chapters very interesting and have actually asked these questions myself in the past. Why is it so acceptable to eat certain animals and not others? How is it that we can basically torture the animals we do eat but be sent to jail for "abusing" a dog or a cat? What are the parameters that set the animals we love apart from the animals that we eat?

Name That Clone!

Scientists have been succesfully cloning animals since 1963 when Asian scientists were able to clone a carp fish. Since then, many more animals have been cloned, including many animals whose meat we eat today. Below is a link to twenty animals that have been succesfully cloned since the 1960s.
