If munching effectively and with gusto is a mark of enjoyment, then the pigs actually enjoy this unusual foodstuff, apparently considerably more than the average American enjoys his daily slabs of charred bread at breakfast. I wish to point out, however, that enjoyment and digestion are not synonymous. In the case of the hog the coal passes through well pulverized, but it is doubtful if he digests...

S. industry, and many a wild horse, caught, corralled, transported and slaughter-housed, is packed into cans and sold as foodstuff. In this country, to be sure, only well-to-do dogs eat horsemeat. On the Continent, poor people consume it. In French and Belgian villages are many equine butcher shops where only horse meat is sold. A stuffed horse head hangs over the doorway, to distinguish them from "chacuteries" (pork shops) where...
