I haven't heard of this blog before, but an interesting little piece from "The Comment Factory" by Randy Poehlman on Tracing Food: Why Japan has the right idea on meat production.Poehlman writes that Japanese producers are required to assign a 10-digit code to each animal throughout its life, allowing consumers to access information about the animal at the point of sale.
Assuming he's correct, this could moot a lot of the humano-centric reasons to stop eating meat...
The famous H
ouse of Blues switched to a cage-free eggs only policy with the new year, according to Chicago's Examiner.com.Daelyn Fortney writes: "This groundbreaking initiative will have a large impact as the live music restaurant uses more than 2 million eggs each year."
Kudos to HSUS for all of its efforts in encouraging House of Blues to be the latest restaurant to switch to a cage-free policy.
And PETA has named Tim Gunn and Ellen DeGeneres their man and woman of the year in recognition for their animal-friendly stances. Read more in L.A. Unleashed...

Hi,
it's Randy from japan. Thanks for the post about the 10 digit identification number article. If you want to examine the story in more depth, I posted the article on my blog at http://thekotatsucommentator.blogspot.com/ with a few links to the sources I used and such. I am pretty interested in the system, I think it's great.
