Hot Dogs
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 8:48 am
I'm always on the lookout for a well turned phrase and for some reason this one by Kim Severson in the NYT resonated with me:
"After all, they're still hot dogs. "I really have to try not to think too hard about the fact that organic unthinkable meat scraps are still unthinkable meat scraps," Ms. Slonosky said.
The reasonable reader (and, certainly, the reasonable vegetarian reader) might be wondering why Ms. Slonosky gives her family hot dogs at all. But that reader probably does not have children and has never worried about getting enough protein into their little carb-stuffed bodies. Besides, why try to deny a kid a hot dog?"
The article is about the growth of the organic hot dog market. Here is the link to the complete article:
