    Who knows what goes on in these petting zoos in the U.K., Canada or the U.S., but it appears to be a mess. That’s why kids get sick every year. A feature in tomorrow’s (today’s) Sunday Times alleges that E. coli O157 was found at a popular children’s petting zoo where dead animals were openly left to rot for weeks.

    Americans don’t get The Tragically Hip, but they seem to like the pop-oriented tunes of Nova Scotia’s Sloan when introduced – although no one down here has heard of them. The 1996 Sloan song, Autobiography, often comes to mind when I read dribble from the blog, Defending Food Safety, written by some lawyers somewhere. When you find you're a conformer

    PetProductNews.com reports that Nature's Variety, a raw pet food company, has unveiled results of a recent 'study' on their products. Whenever you see 'research', especially on the web, you need to consider whether it's really valid scientific information or a marketing ploy. This certainly doesn't seem like anything approaching real research.
