Post a quote, that could have just been text but instead for some stupid reason is an image, entertain me!

Reminds me of the book Merrill's Door. Fantastic autobiographical book about a guy, his dog, and what he learned from his dog. It is also interspersed with research regarding the animal behavior and the evolution of dogs. His dog used to go on his own route through the town, checking in on everyone. He became known as the Mayor.

A very sandy, artificial, and kind of tasteless backbone.

I agree, those 'cookies' are gross.

They look so much like the sugar cookies my mom makes but taste nothing like them.

Because a cookie machine can't infuse them with love. Love makes the cookies delicious.

That can't be the answer. No one loves Q-Stone.

To be fair, I didn't state for whom the love was for.

Roger Stone duh

My fiancee got some sugar cookies for her catering, and they were some of the best cookies I've had period. I see these in the store and I get all excited for about a second before I remember that these aren't those sugar cookies.

A local bakery specifically got shut down because a cook was infusing cookies with love. Turns out, that's a big no-no with the health department.

I thought it was allergic to beef, is it all meat?

This planet is quickly becoming a place I don't enjoy living in as much as before.
is that the definition of growing old?

No. It's climate change.

Red meat, apparently.

So bacon is safe...

I've heard about this before but I still get a kick out the unintentional dark irony of it whenever someone brings it up, nature evolving an end run around unhealthy human dietary habits and exploitative industrial livestock practices.

It's found as far north and east as Maine now, so "lone star" or not, it's pretty much everywhere.

I wonder if it affects dogs (or other animals).

Unfortunately not. My friend got this a while back and he found out when he went to a beer and BBQ fest. That night his face swelled up and his throat was closing and was rushed to the hospital. Once they figured it out he had to go back to his doctor every 6 months (maybe every 3 months, I forget) to see if he still tested positive. The way he described it was he basically couldn't eat anything with hooves. I think it was somewhere around 3-4 years before he could eat pork/beef again.

Nevermind! Nothing to see here!

From that article I learned that despite the marketing, pork is a 'red meat'.
