We could probably all learn something from the Chicagoans (except for, you know, auctioning off senate seats and whatnot).
P.S.: Countdown to the White Sox home opener: 84 days and counting! Any guesses as to what they might add to their long list of vegetarian options?

Good news from the city that once boasted the world's largest meatpacking district.
Apparently there's only one slaughterhouse (lamb and veal) left, but the owner doesn't "get it."
"I like to say this is a good sign for world peace," he says. "We have Christians, Muslims and Jews all working side by side with knives, and nobody's stabbing each other."
Obviously not world peace for all.
If you won't go veg for the health of yourself or the animals, do it for our ailing planet:

This is absolutely fabulous - it's this kind of progressive, exemplary action that America's heads, hearts, and wallets can benefit from.
(As for Dr. Mason's political track record... well, I haven't done my research!) :) :) :)

It's happening folks. The world is certainly opening its eyes. And just think, it has only been about 100 years since Upton wrote his eye opening book the jungle. What's next Chicago's Health Commissioner? How about free veggie dogs to anyone considering a meat-free diet!

Some good news from here in Chicago. It's too bad that Mayor Daley still thinks that the city Ordinance PASSED last year banning Foie Gras in city restaurants is a waste of time, and is "not justified in enforcing" by city Inspectors.
I guess there's still too much money in "luxury food," so tough luck for the force-fed geese and ducks - and what was a victory for animal rights really doesn't matter here in Chicago.
