Summary Of No Wonder They Call Me A Bitch By Ann Hodgman

In his article, “Let Them Eat Dog”, Jonathan Safran Foer analyzes the American taboo of eating dog. In doing so, Foer explores the implication of an important question surrounding animal rights – what differentiates a food source from its fellow creatures? Initially, Foer illustrates the differing views of dog consumption around the world, and subsequently questions the logic behind the American conscience. Dog and other companion animals, Foer reasons, are only exempt from consumption based on loose claims of intelligence and affection. He is quick to indicate that livestock, such as pigs, possess an equal level of intellect and provide similar displays of affection. Consequently, Foer proves the differences between food sources and other

In Ann Hodgman’s essay, “No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch,” she elaborates in grand detail her experience eating dog food. Hodgman’s purpose is to inform her readers what it is like to eat food that is intended to be consumed by dogs.

To some dogs are loyal companions, trusting friends and loving family members with an extra tail or two. To others, dogs are bloody sacrifices to deities or even a tasty part of tonight’s meal. Regardless of the practice and culture, love or lack thereof, dogs have been and will continue to play an integral part in humanity. Although revolting and macabre to many dog lovers and Western audiences alike, Johnathon Safran Foer’s “Let Them Eat Dog: A Modest Proposal for Throwing Fido in the Oven” argues and suggests that eating dogs is perfectly justifiable as is eating beef, chicken and pork. In Foer’s work, the instinctive idea that dogs are solely “man’s best friend” is reevaluated and reexamined to include “potentially poaching the

The book begins with the nose, surprisingly, in which Roach informs the reader that eighty to ninety percent of the sensory experience of eating is olfaction, the sense of smell (Roach 24). Roach introduces the reader to Sue Langstaff, a sensory analyst, and takes the reader through her experience of training to be apart of the new UC Davis Olive Oil Taste Panel. Roach explains how humans perceive different tastes and smells, and how important sensory analysts and panels are to product development. She goes on to explain how humans differ from their pets in the sense of what they like to eat, due to the difference of how animals and humans perceive different flavors. Humans tend to feed their pets based on their own food preferences, but since animals have different senses of taste than humans, they may not like the food their owners give them. Speaking of preferences, Roach dives into the depths of why

Sally Kohn feels the new age hipsters that ask for organic, humanely treated burgers, never think about the workers caring for the fair treated animal from which their burger came from. She sets a scenario were a customer asked a waitress about the wellbeing of the chicken on the menu, but not the farmers caring for the chicken going on to say, “… the characters in the sketch never ask, ‘Does the poultry workers who killed the chicken get paid sick days?’” (214). Those same people infuriated over the inhumane life style of animals, rarely even think of the inhumane working conditions the caregivers are offered. Animals care givers aren’t the only underappreciated food workers, food servers are also in these category. Many of today’s food service

After trying it for the first time, Lizzie Widdicombe, the author of “The End of Food” in the The New Yorker, discovered how convenient Rhinehart’s product was.

This chemical is so bad because this chemical is also found in automobile antifreeze, which is very harmful to dogs. Veterinarian Patrick Mahoney says “These chemicals not only costed Purina millions of dollars, but costed some dogs their
