To Shmeat or Not to Shmeat: Carcass Consumption vs. Dr. Frankenmeatnew
PETA argues that fake meat has the potential to eliminate the raising of animals for human consumption, while allowing those with a taste for tissue to continue enjoying their favorite meaty delicacies. Sounds like a win/win, but there are obstacles to replacing meat with shmeat, not least of which is widespread distaste at the very thought of a Frankenfurter or test-tube steak.

Face the Economic Tough Times by Cooking Up Some 1930s-Style Foodnew
In May, one of the nation's largest cooking sites, AllRecipes.com, reported that traffic to recipe pages using low-cost ingredients nearly doubled in the first three months of the year and that searches for low-cost foods increased as much 107 percent. In June, I wrote about the recession-led increase in sales of Spam luncheon globs. And all that was before the economic downturn had turned into an economic smackdown.

Forgotten Cartoon Characters Deserve Sleazy Opportunities, Toonew
Companies are reviving the most parent-safe of the nation's dormant characters to reanimate as sexed-up zombies for today's savvier character-consuming pre-adults. But why not dig up the cartoon has-beens, revive them, and present them as they've become -- they're a cheap get, bound to make the corporations a few bucks.

Lesbians vs. Lesbians: Who Owns the 'L' Word?new
Lesbians, the only reason you just got a capital "L" is because you started the sentence, but henceforth you are lesbians with a lower case "l." When I write Lesbians with a capital "L," I am referring to the good citizens of the Aegean island of Lesbos, a few of whom are suing your asses for stealing their name.
