[Sca-cooks] Domesticated Animals was Re: Vegetarian & Vegans was Re: lethal drinks

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

As a side note to this discussion, let me recommend a book called "Sacred 
Cow and Abominable Pig", I forget the author, but he talks about what kinds 
of animals we do and do not eat and why. Roger Caras wrote a book on 
domesticated animals too, I forget the title but I believe it was published 
within the last 10-15 years. I'm also working my way through "Guns, Germs, 
and Steel", by Jared Diamond, who among other issues addresses the 
domestication of animals and how it influenced the rise of civilzation. All 
three of these books talk about this, really.
My humble apologies to the good gentles on the cook's list who have already 
read these books-if you haven't, please do so-they are utterly fascinating.
