Still, a dog's life is subject to cultural differences. What is adorable in Pasadena might be pronounced delicious in Pyongyang. Whether a cat ends up in a lap or a wok is a matter of local custom. There are moments when Serpell seems to harbor a hidden vegetarian agenda. His descriptions of the insensitive technology of pig farming and "porcine stress syndrome" take the fun out of a ham sandwich. Yet In the Company of Animals is not intended to change our habits but to open our minds. Historians, psychologists, sociologists and Lady Beaverbrook may resent Serpell's romp...
...Lites chain of fast-food restaurants seemed like a surefire formula for success in the health-conscious '80s. Its menu was designed for the slender set, featuring such fare as vegetarian pita-bread sandwiches, diet cheeseburgers, frozen yogurt and light beer. The chain grew from one Atlanta outlet in 1981 to about 100 restaurants in 19 states last year. But now D'Lites may be down to its final few bites.

The buffet organizers topped off the pot presentation with a pinch of culinary cuteness: they had a jazz band called Haricots Rouges (translation: Red Beans) play music...
...point of interest, Philistines is also noteworthy because it contains "Cruel Circus," the second dumbest pro-vegetarian song even on wax--the first is "Meat is Murder" by the Smiths. That song like most is a reflection of the colourfield's attitude problem, a problem easily fixed by introducing Hall to Husker Du's lead guitarist and singer Bob Mould on one of Mould's bad nights. That would be a lesson in commitment...
