WTBT Volume 12 Series 2008...

We're taking bets that...

* the rhythm is going to get you.
* Lebron was pretty awesome again last night in the All-Star Game.
* Almost Famous is one of the greatest movies that you have probably not seen.
* when your agent is in on a practical joke you are going to get fooled. The video is pretty funny and also a little sad because he looks like he wants to cry.
* having an Elton John song in your movie might make it go from good to great.
* Blu-Ray has won the war of high definition DVDs.
* you should not mess with a man, his machete and his beer.
* the Daytona 500 is probably the most exciting NASCAR race, which means the rest of the year is boring.
* Eli Stone is a surprisingly refreshing show.
* you better be careful if you are eating meat this week.
* it probably doesn't matter to most people that the meat they were eating was from abused animals.
* the last statement is a pretty sad truth.
* you are getting old if you know where the term P.Y.T. is from.
* LOST was so awesome on Thursday that it might not be able to top itself.
* the Patriots did not cheat to win any of their Super Bowls.
* you are not excited about the Oscars this year.

I read an article last month about how little Americans think about the meat they eat and how one of the main reasons animals are mistreated is because we demand cheap meat.

Many noteworthy chefs (Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver, Michael Symone & John Besh to name a few) are actually taking an interest in "humane" slaughtering and some are even buying into shares on farms which are dedicated to raising free range chickens and pigs. They then get their share in meat when the time comes.

As a chef I find it interesting, actually because we're supposed to revere things like fois gras and veal as haute cuisine but as regular people we know that shoving feed down a gooses throat to fatten their liver is just horrid.

I don't really have a point I suppose, I just think that you are right-we don't often think about where our food comes from or how it gets on our tables these days.
