Where we're Going:
Rats for Supper

Maneka Gandhi, writing for the Bihar (India) Times, wrote this very interesting piece commenting on a project by the government of Bihar that encourages the eating of rat meat. Check out this masterful use of descriptive language in the first paragraph:

(Bihar Times) For years now , I have been advising people not to eat meat. Apart from all the other things wrong with it, very few people know which animal has been killed for its meat, its state of health when it was killed ( 45% of all animals killed in slaughterhouses and 70% of all chickens have gangrene when they are killed as their bones have been broken while being transported , the tissues have started decaying and have become smelly, bacterial infections have set in, the flies have laid their eggs in the pooling blood, blood has turned poisonous for several days, the acidic levels have risen and there is a gas build up, the body has already started rotting much before the animal has been killed. ) and the way in which it was killed ( in an investigation report of the main slaughterhouse in India , Idgah in Delhi, placed before the Supreme Court it was shown how the animals were cut with rusty blades, urinated and defecated on and left in pools of other animal But this article is not about the filth in meat that no amount of boiling can take out ( can you boil gangrene of human faeces out ? ) It is about the type of animal meat that you are eating.

This leads us to another marginally relevant Monty Python sketch. So they don't get mad at me for linking the vudeo, go buy something from them at Pythononline, their official site.
