Friday Focaccia

Do you have an adorable pet? Do you think others would think so to? Enter a photo of you pet in the Bissel MVP (Most Valuable Pet) Pet Photo Contest. The winning pet’s picture will be put on the new Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum , and donation of $10,000 will be made to the charity of the winner’s (well winner’s owner) choice. Plus the top vote getter each week will win one of the Pet Hair Eraser vacuums, and the top 5 vote getters (getters?) will move into the finalist group. Grab your camera, snap a picture of your pet and send it in. (Contest ends 04/30/08)

Why I hate people from Alaska - You remember Sen. Stevens (R-Alaska), of “The Internet is a series of tubes” fame? Well, he is at it again, along with apparently equally dimwitted Senator Bill Nelson (D-Florida) and Senator Olympia Snow (R-Washington), who have introduced a bill to outlaw the already illegal practice of phishing. Sounds a bit like yet another Bridge to Nowhere. Of course I can’t but wonder, if it doesn’t pass if Stevens will throw another one of his hissy fits and threaten to quit the Senate. Of course, I can always dream.

Your rights trampled in the name of profits - It seems Monsanto is on a tear again, pushing for lawmakers to get rid of your right to select milk not tainted with synthetic growth hormones. Whether or not you believe or care about the rBST/rBGH controvery or not, you should care about your rights, as this is not the only product that is being targeted by large companies to get labeling stripped to keep the consumer in the dark. Contact your representatives, and tell them, you have a right to know.

Emeril going green - Emeril is coming to the Discovery Channel with a new eco-friendly food show. The show reportedly will be set in Whole Foods Markets and will feature organic, free range and natural foods.

And how about now? - Yes, I know I can understand if you are tired of me mentioning TheMeatrix, and Sustainable Table, and other food “activist” type things, because how could farms possibly be as bad as it is show in that little animated movie… right? Well what about this video? That is not fiction! That is not “a demonstration” or even a theoretical re-enactment. No cute little animation here. This is the actual goings on that lead to the single largest recall of beef (to date) in the United States. [Via Sustainable Table Blog]
