So we went to you, the KQED community, to find out where we could eat and drink around the Bay Area without any problems with our dogs in tow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.instagram.com/p/BzqyXSJB5RL/\">We asked you\u003c/a> to share your favorite dog-friendly bars/restaurants and, after double-checking the recommendations, we compiled a list below that gets four paws up (I consulted with my dog).

The space is pretty small, but they have outside seating for you to enjoy their breakfast sandwiches while your dog (or someone else’s dog) stares you down, hoping for a bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I personally always go for The Special Breakfast Sandwich: two eggs, bacon, avocado, pepperjack cheese and lemon-garlic aioli all on a homemade buttermilk biscuit, and I end the meal (I share!) with a warm cinnamon roll the size of my face. Devil’s Teeth has dog treats for your furry friend, but they’ll probably still be drooling for whatever you’re eating. Bonus: $1 beignets every Sunday!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dad’s Luncheonette\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwz4z4CHSaY/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the quirkier destinations on the list, you might remember Dad’s Luncheonette from this year’s season Check, Please! Bay Area. Owners Scott Clark (a former three-Michelin star chef de cuisine) and Alexis Lu serve their small but mighty menu of American classics with a Californian twist from a historic train caboose in Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being a caboose, there isn’t much seating inside, but you can enjoy your meal outside. Order a dog burger from the menu—it’s made from the same high-quality ingredients they use in their kitchen to make the human food!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mersea\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv647B7B-jJ/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about views!

While you enjoy the wine, your dogs can enjoy house-made biscuits, maybe even a dog treat flight on an adorable dog-shaped cheeseboard (can you tell they love dogs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also regularly hold Yappy Hours where your canine companion can join you in the tasting room for happy hours dedicated to raising funds for local, national and international animal rescue organizations!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drake’s Dealership\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Drake’s Dealership in Oakland has 32 beers on tap and freshly made wood-fired pizzas. But the best part? It has an open-air beer garden where you can hang out with your dogs (as long as they are leashed). If it gets chilly at night, there are fire pits and heating lamps to keep you and your pup warm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you love the idea of drinking beer and hanging out with dogs but aren’t too sure about making the trip, just take a peek at their Instagram hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dogsofdrakes/\">#dogsofdrake\u003c/a>.

Someone who worked in the fitness industry was bringing his cat in to the Tufts Obesity Clinic for Animals. Did he confuse us for a different kind of weight management clinic? Is he looking to get muscle on his cat or maybe kitty protein shakes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was utterly surprised when I called for my appointment in the lobby and an athletic man stood up with an almost 20-pound cat! I asked if I could speak bluntly with him. Why does someone who clearly knows a lot about keeping healthy need to bring his cat to a veterinary nutritionist? What would he say if the cat was one of the people he helps to keep fit every day? Our conversation then went something like this ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'd tell her, suck it up, buttercup. Do some kitty pushups and no more treats!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I have to ask, then, what's stopping you from doing this with your cat?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a worried look of guilt on his face, he replied, \"Well, Dr. Linder, I mean ... she meows at me ...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the moment I realized that I was treating pet obesity all wrong. I needed to focus less on the pet and more on the relationship between people and their pets. That's what's literally cutting the lives short of the dogs and cats we love so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An obese pet isn't a happy pet\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with humans, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dog-cat-obesity-rate-continues-to-rise/\">obesity in pets\u003c/a> is at epidemic proportions.

Obesity in animals can cause complications in almost every system in the body, with conditions ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9621878\">diabetes\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11767921\">osteoarthritis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owners often say they don't care if their pet is \"fat\" — there's just more of them to love! It's my job to then let them know there's less time to provide that love. A \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.2002.220.1315\">landmark lifespan study\u003c/a> showed Labradors who were 10 to 20 percent overweight — not even obese, which is typically defined as greater than 20 percent — lived a median 1.8 years shorter than their trim ideal weight counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2011.09.015\">study\u003c/a> shows that obesity indeed has emotional consequences for pets. Overweight pets have worse scores in vitality, quality of life, pain and emotional disturbance. However, the good news is those values can improve with weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, humans struggle to succeed even in the best conditions — and so do pets. \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0184199\">In one study\u003c/a>, dogs on a weight-loss program were only successful 63 percent of the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124399\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 3000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124399\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg\" alt=\"A British Shorthair cat.\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2370\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg 3000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-800x632.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-768x607.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-1020x806.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-1180x932.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-960x758.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-240x190.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-375x296.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-520x411.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A British Shorthair cat. \u003ccite>(VYACHESLAV OSELEDKO/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Showing love through food\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So where exactly is the problem? Are foods too high in calories? Are pets not getting enough exercise? Is it genetics? Or do we just fall for those puppy dog eyes and overfeed them because they have in fact trained us (not the other way around!)? From my experience at the pet obesity clinic, I can tell you it's a bit of all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems veterinarians and pet owners may be a little behind the curve compared to our human counterparts. \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.293.1.43\">Studies show\u003c/a> that it doesn't really matter what approach to weight loss most humans take — as long as they stick to it. But many in veterinary medicine focus more on traditional diet and exercise plans, and less on adherence or the reason these pets may have become obese to begin with. (This should be easy, right? The dogs aren't opening the fridge door themselves!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the field is starting to understand that pet obesity is much more about the human-animal bond than the food bowl. In 2014, I worked among a group of fellow pet obesity experts organized by the American Animal Hospital Association to publish \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.5326/JAAHA-MS-6331\">new weight management guidelines\u003c/a>, recognizing that the human-animal bond needs to be addressed. Is the pet owner ready to make changes and overcome challenges that might slow down their pet's weight loss?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114514002335\">One interesting editorial review\u003c/a> compared parenting styles to pet ownership. As pet owners, we treat our cats and dogs more like family members. There's a deeper emotional and psychological bond that was not as common when the family dog was just the family dog. If vets can spot an overindulgent pet parent, perhaps we can help them develop strategies to avoid expressing love through food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124398\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1458px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124398\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png\" alt='Source: <a href=\"http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/\">Tufts Clinical Nutrition Service</a>' width=\"1458\" height=\"848\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png 1458w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-160x93.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-800x465.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-768x447.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-1020x593.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-1180x686.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-960x558.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-240x140.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-375x218.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-520x302.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1458px) 100vw, 1458px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: \u003ca href=\"http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/\">Tufts Clinical Nutrition Service\u003c/a> \u003ccite>(The Conversation, CC-BY-ND)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A healthier relationship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Managing obesity in pets will require veterinarians, physicians and psychologists \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2017.03.006\">to work together\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many veterinary schools and hospitals now employ social workers who help veterinarians understand the social aspect of the human-animal bond and how it impacts the pet's care. For example, a dog owner who has lost a spouse and shares an ice cream treat every night with their dog may be trying to replace a tradition they used to cherish with their significant other. A social worker with a psychology background could help prepare a plan that respects the owner's bond with their pet without negatively impacting the pet's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At our obesity clinic at Tufts, physicians, nutritionists and veterinarians are working together to develop joint pet and pet owner weight-loss programs. We want to put together a healthy physical activity program, so pet owners and their dogs can both improve their health and strengthen their bond.

I asked if I could speak bluntly with him. Why does someone who clearly knows a lot about keeping healthy need to bring his cat to a veterinary nutritionist? What would he say if the cat was one of the people he helps to keep fit every day? Our conversation then went something like this ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'd tell her, suck it up, buttercup.

Over half of the \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-5827.2010.00933.x\">dogs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2012.05.006\">cats\u003c/a> around the globe battle the bulge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While overweight pets may not face the same social stigma as humans, medical and emotional damage is being done all the same. Obesity in animals can cause complications in almost every system in the body, with conditions ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9621878\">diabetes\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11767921\">osteoarthritis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owners often say they don't care if their pet is \"fat\" — there's just more of them to love! It's my job to then let them know there's less time to provide that love. A \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.2002.220.1315\">landmark lifespan study\u003c/a> showed Labradors who were 10 to 20 percent overweight — not even obese, which is typically defined as greater than 20 percent — lived a median 1.8 years shorter than their trim ideal weight counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2011.09.015\">study\u003c/a> shows that obesity indeed has emotional consequences for pets. Overweight pets have worse scores in vitality, quality of life, pain and emotional disturbance. However, the good news is those values can improve with weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, humans struggle to succeed even in the best conditions — and so do pets. \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0184199\">In one study\u003c/a>, dogs on a weight-loss program were only successful 63 percent of the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124399\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 3000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124399\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg\" alt=\"A British Shorthair cat.\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2370\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570.jpg 3000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-800x632.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-768x607.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-1020x806.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-1180x932.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-960x758.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-240x190.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-375x296.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/GettyImages-161785570-520x411.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A British Shorthair cat. \u003ccite>(VYACHESLAV OSELEDKO/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Showing love through food\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So where exactly is the problem? Are foods too high in calories? Are pets not getting enough exercise? Is it genetics? Or do we just fall for those puppy dog eyes and overfeed them because they have in fact trained us (not the other way around!)? From my experience at the pet obesity clinic, I can tell you it's a bit of all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems veterinarians and pet owners may be a little behind the curve compared to our human counterparts. \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.293.1.43\">Studies show\u003c/a> that it doesn't really matter what approach to weight loss most humans take — as long as they stick to it. But many in veterinary medicine focus more on traditional diet and exercise plans, and less on adherence or the reason these pets may have become obese to begin with. (This should be easy, right? The dogs aren't opening the fridge door themselves!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the field is starting to understand that pet obesity is much more about the human-animal bond than the food bowl. In 2014, I worked among a group of fellow pet obesity experts organized by the American Animal Hospital Association to publish \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.5326/JAAHA-MS-6331\">new weight management guidelines\u003c/a>, recognizing that the human-animal bond needs to be addressed. Is the pet owner ready to make changes and overcome challenges that might slow down their pet's weight loss?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114514002335\">One interesting editorial review\u003c/a> compared parenting styles to pet ownership. As pet owners, we treat our cats and dogs more like family members. There's a deeper emotional and psychological bond that was not as common when the family dog was just the family dog. If vets can spot an overindulgent pet parent, perhaps we can help them develop strategies to avoid expressing love through food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124398\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1458px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124398\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png\" alt='Source: <a href=\"http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/\">Tufts Clinical Nutrition Service</a>' width=\"1458\" height=\"848\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM.png 1458w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-160x93.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-800x465.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-768x447.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-1020x593.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-1180x686.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-960x558.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-240x140.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-375x218.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/01/Screen-Shot-2018-01-12-at-10.47.18-AM-520x302.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1458px) 100vw, 1458px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: \u003ca href=\"http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/\">Tufts Clinical Nutrition Service\u003c/a> \u003ccite>(The Conversation, CC-BY-ND)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A healthier relationship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Managing obesity in pets will require veterinarians, physicians and psychologists \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2017.03.006\">to work together\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many veterinary schools and hospitals now employ social workers who help veterinarians understand the social aspect of the human-animal bond and how it impacts the pet's care. For example, a dog owner who has lost a spouse and shares an ice cream treat every night with their dog may be trying to replace a tradition they used to cherish with their significant other. A social worker with a psychology background could help prepare a plan that respects the owner's bond with their pet without negatively impacting the pet's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At our obesity clinic at Tufts, physicians, nutritionists and veterinarians are working together to develop joint pet and pet owner weight-loss programs. We want to put together a healthy physical activity program, so pet owners and their dogs can both improve their health and strengthen their bond.

The recipe was created by Michael Fox, former vice president of the Humane Society of the U.S. and the author of more than 40 books on animal care, behavior and bioethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dish is basically a hamburger and rice casserole, with a few extra nutrients thrown in, like brewer's yeast for minerals like chromium and selenium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am an advocate of whole, organic foods that are biologically appropriate for the species. Food for Dogs is different from 'Dog Food' — it's human food quality, but with less grains,\" Fox writes on his \u003ca href=\"http://drfoxvet.com/library/info/\">website\u003c/a>, where he offers the dog food recipe, plus organic and GMO-free prepared pet food products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people assume that the most \"biologically appropriate\" food for dogs is meat, but it's more complicated than that. Domestic dogs evolved from wolves, who are carnivores, but recent \u003ca href=\"http://news.sciencemag.org/plants-animals/2013/01/diet-shaped-dog-domestication?ref=\">research\u003c/a> published in the journal \u003cem>Science\u003c/em> shows that as domesticated dogs evolved along with people, they became omnivores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As people began to settle down and farm, dogs came along for the free food. And it was rarely meat — it was scraps of grains and vegetable waste on the dump heaps. Dogs that developed the ability to digest starch had an advantage, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cats are another story – they are dedicated carnivores, as you may have noticed when they show up at the door with half-dead mice and birds as presents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet grains – how much and what kind — have become a controversial issue in recent years in both human and pet diets. These days, most complete and balanced pet-food products contain grains, \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1988345,00.html\">according to\u003c/a> Marion Nestle, who authored a book on pet food in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as humans have become increasingly concerned that grain-based carbs are the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/03/28/295332576/why-we-got-fatter-during-the-fat-free-food-boom\">reason we're fat\u003c/a>, some pet owners worry our dogs and cats who eat commercial pet food might also be gaining too much weight from the grains in it.

The recipe was created by Michael Fox, former vice president of the Humane Society of the U.S. and the author of more than 40 books on animal care, behavior and bioethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dish is basically a hamburger and rice casserole, with a few extra nutrients thrown in, like brewer's yeast for minerals like chromium and selenium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am an advocate of whole, organic foods that are biologically appropriate for the species. Food for Dogs is different from 'Dog Food' — it's human food quality, but with less grains,\" Fox writes on his \u003ca href=\"http://drfoxvet.com/library/info/\">website\u003c/a>, where he offers the dog food recipe, plus organic and GMO-free prepared pet food products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people assume that the most \"biologically appropriate\" food for dogs is meat, but it's more complicated than that. Domestic dogs evolved from wolves, who are carnivores, but recent \u003ca href=\"http://news.sciencemag.org/plants-animals/2013/01/diet-shaped-dog-domestication?ref=\">research\u003c/a> published in the journal \u003cem>Science\u003c/em> shows that as domesticated dogs evolved along with people, they became omnivores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As people began to settle down and farm, dogs came along for the free food. And it was rarely meat — it was scraps of grains and vegetable waste on the dump heaps. Dogs that developed the ability to digest starch had an advantage, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cats are another story – they are dedicated carnivores, as you may have noticed when they show up at the door with half-dead mice and birds as presents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet grains – how much and what kind — have become a controversial issue in recent years in both human and pet diets. These days, most complete and balanced pet-food products contain grains, \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1988345,00.html\">according to\u003c/a> Marion Nestle, who authored a book on pet food in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as humans have become increasingly concerned that grain-based carbs are the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/03/28/295332576/why-we-got-fatter-during-the-fat-free-food-boom\">reason we're fat\u003c/a>, some pet owners worry our dogs and cats who eat commercial pet food might also be gaining too much weight from the grains in it. That's led many pet owners to look for alternatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Fox, sales of grain-free pet foods jumped some 28 percent between 2011 and 2012 — to $1.4 billion for dog food, and some $322 million for cat food.

It can also help the environment. For instance, the product Wendy is developing is made from wild blue catfish, an \u003ca href=\"http://widenetproject.org/\">invasive species\u003c/a> in the Chesapeake Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, Jake Dickson made headlines as one of several \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/nyregion/ny-butchers-see-market-in-high-end-fresh-dog-food.html\">New York City butchers\u003c/a> selling high-end, locally sourced dog food. Dickson's pet chow is a blend of farmers market veggies and leftover meats that don't make it into the premium artisanal cuts he sells at his \u003ca href=\"http://www.dicksonsfarmstand.com/\">Chelsea Market shop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feeding Fido with locally sourced meats and vegetables can get pretty pricey. Dickson's fancy feast will cost you $10 per quart, about enough to feed a 100-pound dog for a day. That translates to $300 a month, for those of you keeping score. Even so, Dickson says about 100 customers each week pick up the gourmet grub.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is \"quite expensive,\" he says, but his goal isn't to pamper pooches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For us, it's all about 100 percent utilization of the animal,\" Dickson tells The Salt. \"If we're going to slaughter it, we want to use every part. And second, if we use every part, we're more profitable as a company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Dickson notes, picking up scrap meats for your dog at the local butcher is a tradition with a long history. And with the growth of the locavore movement, meat producers from coast to coast say they're also seeing a boom in demand for local pet food options. Some are even setting up subscription-based \"doggie CSAs,\" or \u003ca href=\"http:/www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/07/16/202624149/community-supported-agriculture-how-big-is-too-big\">community-supported agriculture.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis Adams and his wife raise free-range sheep, alpaca and chickens at \u003ca href=\"http://cotafarms.com/6.html\">Cota Farms\u003c/a>, about 45 miles outside of Columbus, Ohio. When they process their meat, he says, they always have leftovers — necks and backs of chickens, and sheep hearts. So several years ago, Adams started grinding up this meat and selling it as raw dog food at local farmers markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is premium, organic meat,\" Adams tells The Salt. \"Dogs are lucky to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word quickly got out and demand grew. Now, he has 50 subscribers for his raw dog food CSA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, business grew so rapidly that Adams recruited other ranchers and farmers in the region to contribute their leftover meat — \"there's really nothing else you can do with a beef heart,\" he says (unless you're a high-end chef into \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2011/10/31/141810654/chefs-say-variety-meats-or-offal-arent-just-for-halloween\">offal\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over in San Diego, entrepreneur Tasha Ardalan has also recently gotten into the community-supported dog food business. She gathers the season's leftover fruits and vegetables from local farmers who would otherwise have to toss them out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The farmers love it,\" she tells us. A few have even signed up for her dog food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The produce gets mixed with meat from local ranchers and sold as a raw, organic dog food patty that costs subscribers of her CSA — named \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxytreats.com/pet-food-csa/\">Foxy Treats\u003c/a> — $4 a pound. \"Some customers are a bit skittish about the food being raw,\" she says. \"So I just tell them to bake it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ardalan says she consulted with local vets before coming up with her recipes. Getting the mixture right is paramount, says \u003ca href=\"http://nutrition.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/faculty_staff.cfm\">Jennifer Larsen,\u003c/a> an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larsen says if you're going to go DIY with your dog food in the name of locavorism, be sure to check in with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.acvn.org/\">board-certified veterinary nutritionist\u003c/a>. (This is a vet with a specialty in nutrition, not someone with an Internet diploma.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to make a recipe that lacks essential nutrients for dogs, she warns. She recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.242.11.1500?prevSearch=allfield%253A%2528jennifer%2Blarsen%2529&searchHistoryKey=\">study\u003c/a> of 200 homemade dog food recipes gathered from vet textbooks, dog care books and the Web. Ninety-five percent of these recipes lacked at least one essential nutrient, she found, and more than 80 percent lacked multiple nutrients. Over time, she says, such deficiencies can lead to serious health problems for your barking buddy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larsen says many of her clients do source their dog food locally — a perk of living in California's Central Valley. And some have the luxury of outsourcing the kitchen work involved in cooking for four-legged locavores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are owners that we [design] recipes for,\" she says, \"and they hire professional chefs to [make] our recipes because they don't have the time to do it themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Feeding your pooch with locally sourced meats and vegetables may seem like the culinary equivalent of a Versace pet bowl.

Even so, our first reaction was: Really?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to dismiss the concept as the culinary equivalent of a diamond dog collar or \u003ca href=\"http://www.incrediblethings.com/lists/14-ridiculously-expensive-pet-products/\">a Versace pet bowl\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many producers offering farm-to-fido dog food say it's a healthful option for pets that also helps farmers and ranchers while cutting down on food waste. It can also help the environment. For instance, the product Wendy is developing is made from wild blue catfish, an \u003ca href=\"http://widenetproject.org/\">invasive species\u003c/a> in the Chesapeake Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, Jake Dickson made headlines as one of several \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/nyregion/ny-butchers-see-market-in-high-end-fresh-dog-food.html\">New York City butchers\u003c/a> selling high-end, locally sourced dog food. Dickson's pet chow is a blend of farmers market veggies and leftover meats that don't make it into the premium artisanal cuts he sells at his \u003ca href=\"http://www.dicksonsfarmstand.com/\">Chelsea Market shop\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feeding Fido with locally sourced meats and vegetables can get pretty pricey. Dickson's fancy feast will cost you $10 per quart, about enough to feed a 100-pound dog for a day. That translates to $300 a month, for those of you keeping score. Even so, Dickson says about 100 customers each week pick up the gourmet grub.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is \"quite expensive,\" he says, but his goal isn't to pamper pooches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For us, it's all about 100 percent utilization of the animal,\" Dickson tells The Salt. \"If we're going to slaughter it, we want to use every part. And second, if we use every part, we're more profitable as a company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Dickson notes, picking up scrap meats for your dog at the local butcher is a tradition with a long history. And with the growth of the locavore movement, meat producers from coast to coast say they're also seeing a boom in demand for local pet food options. Some are even setting up subscription-based \"doggie CSAs,\" or \u003ca href=\"http:/www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/07/16/202624149/community-supported-agriculture-how-big-is-too-big\">community-supported agriculture.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis Adams and his wife raise free-range sheep, alpaca and chickens at \u003ca href=\"http://cotafarms.com/6.html\">Cota Farms\u003c/a>, about 45 miles outside of Columbus, Ohio. When they process their meat, he says, they always have leftovers — necks and backs of chickens, and sheep hearts. So several years ago, Adams started grinding up this meat and selling it as raw dog food at local farmers markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is premium, organic meat,\" Adams tells The Salt. \"Dogs are lucky to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word quickly got out and demand grew. Now, he has 50 subscribers for his raw dog food CSA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, business grew so rapidly that Adams recruited other ranchers and farmers in the region to contribute their leftover meat — \"there's really nothing else you can do with a beef heart,\" he says (unless you're a high-end chef into \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2011/10/31/141810654/chefs-say-variety-meats-or-offal-arent-just-for-halloween\">offal\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over in San Diego, entrepreneur Tasha Ardalan has also recently gotten into the community-supported dog food business. She gathers the season's leftover fruits and vegetables from local farmers who would otherwise have to toss them out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The farmers love it,\" she tells us. A few have even signed up for her dog food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The produce gets mixed with meat from local ranchers and sold as a raw, organic dog food patty that costs subscribers of her CSA — named \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxytreats.com/pet-food-csa/\">Foxy Treats\u003c/a> — $4 a pound. \"Some customers are a bit skittish about the food being raw,\" she says. \"So I just tell them to bake it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ardalan says she consulted with local vets before coming up with her recipes. Getting the mixture right is paramount, says \u003ca href=\"http://nutrition.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/faculty_staff.cfm\">Jennifer Larsen,\u003c/a> an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larsen says if you're going to go DIY with your dog food in the name of locavorism, be sure to check in with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.acvn.org/\">board-certified veterinary nutritionist\u003c/a>. (This is a vet with a specialty in nutrition, not someone with an Internet diploma.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to make a recipe that lacks essential nutrients for dogs, she warns. She recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.242.11.1500?prevSearch=allfield%253A%2528jennifer%2Blarsen%2529&searchHistoryKey=\">study\u003c/a> of 200 homemade dog food recipes gathered from vet textbooks, dog care books and the Web. Ninety-five percent of these recipes lacked at least one essential nutrient, she found, and more than 80 percent lacked multiple nutrients. Over time, she says, such deficiencies can lead to serious health problems for your barking buddy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larsen says many of her clients do source their dog food locally — a perk of living in California's Central Valley. And some have the luxury of outsourcing the kitchen work involved in cooking for four-legged locavores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are owners that we [design] recipes for,\" she says, \"and they hire professional chefs to [make] our recipes because they don't have the time to do it themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/66775/farm-to-fido-dog-food-goes-local","authors":["byline_bayareabites_66775"],"categories":["bayareabites_10916","bayareabites_1619","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_1618","bayareabites_12101","bayareabites_14762","bayareabites_10921","bayareabites_12102"],"featImg":"bayareabites_66784","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_59071":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_59071","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"59071","score":null,"sort":[1364828804000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"pussy-pop","title":"Pussy Pop","publishDate":1364828804,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>A few weeks ago I was buying a six-pack of Red Bull for my aunt, and since I'm not a huge soda fan, I was taking a minute to peruse the beverage aisle of my local grocery store to see what newcomers have arrived in the world of pop.

Chili. Oh, yes. I had forgotten it was Super Bowl Sunday. While millions of football fans across the country were preparing to eat their own chilis and nachos and what-have-yous, I had the feeling that we were possibly the only people in the country who would be eating parrot's egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/parrot-egg.jpg\" alt=\"parrot egg\" title=\"parrot egg\" width=\"350\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10660\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you want to see it?\" asked Cybele. She placed a small blue ceramic bowl in my hand in which the egg had made its home for the past several days. It was tiny. I'm not sure what else I was expecting to come out of an eight inch tall bird. I wondered what the hell I was going to do with one egg that was smaller than a watch face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't have to think long. All the ingredients were right there on the countertop: the guacamole, the tortillas, the salsa. What else could I make but huevos rancheros? Correction: what else could I make but one, little \u003cem>huevito\u003c/em> ranchero?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick, of course, was not to screw it up. Dropping it or breaking the yolk were out of the question-- this egg was too rare a thing to scramble. We discussed the best way to go about cooking the thing, which was to liberally coat one depression of a miniature muffin tin with olive oil spray, place the tin in a shallow amount of water, and heat gently-- very gently. I became nervous cracking the egg. It wasn't so much that Chipper had been let out of her cage to watch the action, but because, if I messed up, I would have to wait patiently for another two years before I'd get another chance to gourmandize the fruit of Chipper's womb. I gave the the shell a couple of swift taps with the dull end of a small knife. The shell was much softer and less calcified than a chicken's egg. I carefully peeled away the cracked bits that adhered to the thick \u003ca href=\"http://sites.ext.vt.edu/virtualfarm/poultry/poultry_eggparts.html\">inner membrane\u003c/a>, making a window large and smooth enough to safely release the yolk and albumen, then let it gently slide into the warm, waiting mini muffin tin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it done yet?\" asked Lyle as he peered over my shoulder. \"It doesn't look done, but it has to be-- something that small shouldn't take so long. Is the heat on?\" The heat was on and it didn't look done at all-- the white of the egg was still opaque. I was treating it like a chicken egg. Since I nor anyone in my acquaintance had any prior parrot egg-frying experience, the white of the egg seemed like a sensible gauge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I touched the thing with the tip of my index finger. It \u003cem>felt\u003c/em> done, so I pulled the tin from the heat and let it rest briefly as I prepared the egg's accessories. We were all pleased. I was surprised by how cute an egg dish could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/huevito-ranchero.jpg\" alt=\"huevito ranchero\" title=\"huevito ranchero\" width=\"262\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10661\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was, of course, on the small side. I could have fit the whole thing into my mouth at one go. Fortunately, I remembered that I was eating something very special and that the producer of this little pre-chili amuse bouche was perched directly behind me, making a mess of the bit of corn bread Cybele had just given her. I turned around and showed Chipper the plate. She cocked her head a little and then lunged at it. Would it be okay if she ended up eating some of her own egg? I quietly decided to myself that this was one moral question I did not care to find out-- I was too hungry and hung over from the night before to deal with such things. I merely thanked Chipper for the food I was about to receive. I felt as though I were saying some sort of Grace before supper, except, this time, I was saying it to an actual, living creature that I could reach out and physically touch, not an invisible deity. I turned my back again, uncertain of what Chipper's feelings might actually be regarding the matter, and tucked in and thought to myself, \"Is this rude? Do farmers ever eat eggs in front of their own chickens? What's the etiquette here?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/egg-in-hand.jpg\" alt=\"egg in hand\" title=\"egg in hand\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10662\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cut off a small amount of egg white and placed it on my tongue. It tasted oddly citrusy and I said as much. I asked Cybele what Chipper like to eat. \"Oh, lots of seeds and grains. Oh, and grapes. Chipper loves grapes,\" she replied. The list went, but nowhere was anything in the citrus family mentioned. So the top note was this little birds own, special addition. Lyle and Cybele then each took a little taste. That's pretty much all one could do with the thing-- it was gone after that. One perfect little parrot's egg gone after three tiny, thoughtful bites. I sat there thinking to myself, \"Is that... all there is?\" I tried to remain as dead pan as Peggy Lee herself. I didn't want to offend Chipper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, I'm glad I got to try the egg. None of the pets I've cared for in my lifetime have ever given me anything as useful as something to eat. Sure, the cat had left several snack offerings, but sunbaked lizards and half-chewed finches are too much trouble to cook. And, before anyone utters a \"How could you?\", it's not as if Chipper was going to make use of the thing-- it was unfertilized. Perhaps we just spared her effort summoning any sort of maternal instinct the embarrassment of going through the motions of caring for something that would never become anything else if left to its own devices. Maybe it was better that we did let that egg become something else, like food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the case may be, thanks Chipper, you've given new meaning to the term \"pet food.\" I do hope we did your little egg justice. Maybe the next time around, we'll do something even more fun with it, like make a tiny soufflé studded with seeds and grapes in your honor or simply soft-boil it and serve it on miniature toast. We've got another two years to come up with a menu plan.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"A little while back, I received a phone call from my friend Lyle:\r\n\r\n\"Hey, uhhhh... Mike? So...

While millions of football fans across the country were preparing to eat their own chilis and nachos and what-have-yous, I had the feeling that we were possibly the only people in the country who would be eating parrot's egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/parrot-egg.jpg\" alt=\"parrot egg\" title=\"parrot egg\" width=\"350\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10660\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you want to see it?\" asked Cybele. She placed a small blue ceramic bowl in my hand in which the egg had made its home for the past several days. It was tiny. I'm not sure what else I was expecting to come out of an eight inch tall bird. I wondered what the hell I was going to do with one egg that was smaller than a watch face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't have to think long. All the ingredients were right there on the countertop: the guacamole, the tortillas, the salsa. What else could I make but huevos rancheros? Correction: what else could I make but one, little \u003cem>huevito\u003c/em> ranchero?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick, of course, was not to screw it up. Dropping it or breaking the yolk were out of the question-- this egg was too rare a thing to scramble. We discussed the best way to go about cooking the thing, which was to liberally coat one depression of a miniature muffin tin with olive oil spray, place the tin in a shallow amount of water, and heat gently-- very gently. I became nervous cracking the egg. It wasn't so much that Chipper had been let out of her cage to watch the action, but because, if I messed up, I would have to wait patiently for another two years before I'd get another chance to gourmandize the fruit of Chipper's womb. I gave the the shell a couple of swift taps with the dull end of a small knife. The shell was much softer and less calcified than a chicken's egg. I carefully peeled away the cracked bits that adhered to the thick \u003ca href=\"http://sites.ext.vt.edu/virtualfarm/poultry/poultry_eggparts.html\">inner membrane\u003c/a>, making a window large and smooth enough to safely release the yolk and albumen, then let it gently slide into the warm, waiting mini muffin tin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is it done yet?\" asked Lyle as he peered over my shoulder. \"It doesn't look done, but it has to be-- something that small shouldn't take so long. Is the heat on?\" The heat was on and it didn't look done at all-- the white of the egg was still opaque. I was treating it like a chicken egg. Since I nor anyone in my acquaintance had any prior parrot egg-frying experience, the white of the egg seemed like a sensible gauge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I touched the thing with the tip of my index finger. It \u003cem>felt\u003c/em> done, so I pulled the tin from the heat and let it rest briefly as I prepared the egg's accessories. We were all pleased. I was surprised by how cute an egg dish could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/huevito-ranchero.jpg\" alt=\"huevito ranchero\" title=\"huevito ranchero\" width=\"262\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10661\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was, of course, on the small side. I could have fit the whole thing into my mouth at one go. Fortunately, I remembered that I was eating something very special and that the producer of this little pre-chili amuse bouche was perched directly behind me, making a mess of the bit of corn bread Cybele had just given her. I turned around and showed Chipper the plate. She cocked her head a little and then lunged at it. Would it be okay if she ended up eating some of her own egg? I quietly decided to myself that this was one moral question I did not care to find out-- I was too hungry and hung over from the night before to deal with such things. I merely thanked Chipper for the food I was about to receive. I felt as though I were saying some sort of Grace before supper, except, this time, I was saying it to an actual, living creature that I could reach out and physically touch, not an invisible deity. I turned my back again, uncertain of what Chipper's feelings might actually be regarding the matter, and tucked in and thought to myself, \"Is this rude? Do farmers ever eat eggs in front of their own chickens? What's the etiquette here?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/02/egg-in-hand.jpg\" alt=\"egg in hand\" title=\"egg in hand\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10662\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cut off a small amount of egg white and placed it on my tongue. It tasted oddly citrusy and I said as much. I asked Cybele what Chipper like to eat. \"Oh, lots of seeds and grains. Oh, and grapes. Chipper loves grapes,\" she replied. The list went, but nowhere was anything in the citrus family mentioned. So the top note was this little birds own, special addition. Lyle and Cybele then each took a little taste. That's pretty much all one could do with the thing-- it was gone after that. One perfect little parrot's egg gone after three tiny, thoughtful bites. I sat there thinking to myself, \"Is that... all there is?\" I tried to remain as dead pan as Peggy Lee herself. I didn't want to offend Chipper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, I'm glad I got to try the egg. None of the pets I've cared for in my lifetime have ever given me anything as useful as something to eat. Sure, the cat had left several snack offerings, but sunbaked lizards and half-chewed finches are too much trouble to cook. And, before anyone utters a \"How could you?\", it's not as if Chipper was going to make use of the thing-- it was unfertilized. Perhaps we just spared her effort summoning any sort of maternal instinct the embarrassment of going through the motions of caring for something that would never become anything else if left to its own devices. Maybe it was better that we did let that egg become something else, like food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the case may be, thanks Chipper, you've given new meaning to the term \"pet food.\" I do hope we did your little egg justice.
