      That is mostly Chris, my food-taster/other half.

      I consider myself libertarian-like but I’m not as involved as Chris and I generally don’t leave comments on food-related blogs with reference to free market readings. 8*)

      Two Puerto Rican fried food loving libertarians- you two are like a match made in heaven!

    I think you should read this book for a another perspective on food. What are the consequences of choices and is it worth it? Where does compassion stop and start? http://www.amazon.com/Eating-Animals-Jonathan-Safran-Foer/dp/0316069906
