Such cooked and cured meats as canned hams, prepared sausages and prosciutto are not affected because heating or processing kills the foot-and-mouth virus. Certain dairy products like yogurt, Brie and hard cheeses are also exempt, since they are already subject to strict manufacturing conditions, including pasteurization...
...shape. "I don't drink anymore," he says, over the phone. "Well, I only drink two days a week, and I restrict myself to a six-pack." Somehow, Barkley has dropped 13 lbs., though his proud testimonial is drowned out by chewing noises. "I'm eating cantaloupe." With prosciutto? "Shut up!" O.K., then...
