Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Recently while I was standing at the counter of my favorite coffee joint (Infusion in Mt. Airy, PA for those of you in the area), when I noticed a plate of cookies on the counter. They looked good, sort of natural and whole grain-y and I leaned in for a closer look. That was when I spotted the sign pasted just above them, stating that they were gourmet dog snacks. I shifted away from them, looking to either side in the hopes that I no one else had seen me checking out the dog biscuits with such hungry interest. Not long after that experience, BlogSoop put up a Canine Tasting Menu, a sort of roundup of food designed for the pooches that looks (for the most part) very much like people food. I think my favorite has to be the Redbarn Roofle Waffles that appear just like human waffles and claims to have the scent of real maple syrup baked right in. Seeing this made me realize that I was probably not the first person to check out those dog cookies at Infusion with interest and I probably won't be the last.

Wow, that was a pessimistic thought. Hopefully these things are formulated to be at least remotely good for a dog? You wouldn't think feeding grains to a carnivore would be such a good thing.

Anyone see where Leona Helmsley left her dog 12 million and nothing to some of her children/grandchildren? Pathetic. Get a grip people.
Even if you have no relatives, have the damn thing buried next to you if you want, but there's plenty of charities that could use it more than an animal.
I now (feeling much better) step down off my soap box.

Let us remember, dogs eat their own poop, people.
