Credit Wasn't Due

And to think just six months ago I had recanted what I said about Lohan. And now she throws it in my face? That insufferable little *simmers*.

Lindsay admitted she was making herself sick. She is admitting to some drug use in the new Vanity Fair article.

Sorry for this, but the page two of this article is important. I'm pretty sure there is a study somewhere that people don't go for the next page feature on web articles. Something about the first thirteen seconds I think. Article is about people working past their retirement. Why is this important? THE OLD FOLK GOTTA MAKE ROOM FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION. Thanks Gramps, I have to work a lower pay job because you don't wanna retire to your fly fishing?

We tend to think of retirement as playing golf in Florida. But when people talk about what they want to do with the rest of their lives, that rarely comes up.

Page one is even worse-

But there’s no indication of when the working retired plan to slow down their working, saving — which they still do — or their spending.

Noooooes!
All About the Beef

I dub it, MiniCow. You heard me, half size cattle.

“They’re like a pet more than anything. I like them because they’re neat looking, they’re oddities,” Warren said. Those 10 mini cows will provide about 6,000 pounds on the hoof, compared to as much as 3,000 pounds that could come from two full-size cattle, Gradwohl said.

Well ain't that something. Supposedly it will make efforts for organic meat easier since the cattle destroy less grass. And grass heavy diets make healthier meat. And that makes me happy.

What makes me happier? Hearing about a Kobe that doesn't have to do with infidelity.

Healthy beef? Healthy fatty beef? Absolutely, Yamamoto says — he helped fund research that backs up his claim. A Texas A&M University researcher, Stephen Smith, concluded that compared to American beef, Wagyu beef is much higher in unsaturated fat. It has high levels of oleic acid, the fatty acid in olive and canola oils that has been shown to lower bad LDL cholesterol.

"The health aspect of this animal is what should be the standard for the U.S. cattle herd," Yamamoto said. "If I can put these bulls on any breed and decrease the saturated fat, that would be the standard."

Another selling point for Kobe-style beef is that it's often raised without hormones or antibiotics.

This is really a facinating full article, if you read no other linked article I beg you to read this one the whole way through. But I admit- I hate steak fat, it feels slimy.
