"I myself became devoted to the 82 percent cacao extra-dark bar, with its unctuous mouth feel and fruity, acidic punch." - From magazine writer Arthur Lubow's Sunday op-ed on his favorite chocolate bar, "My Chocolate Meltdown [1]."

"Lately more people have begun to express an interest in where the meat they eat comes from and how it was raised. Were the animals humanely treated? Did they have a good quality of life before the death that turned them into someone's dinner?....the writer Isaac Bashevis Singer in his story 'The Letter Writer"...called the slaughter of animals the 'eternal Treblinka.'" - From Bucknell professor Gary Steiner's Sunday op-ed, "Animal, Vegetable, Miserable [2]."
