Just a few days ago, we were discussing whether it was time to eat your dog. Now someone else has run the numbers, and says the original math were so far off, it would imply that one-third of all US cropland is devoted to producing dog food. Hopefully, no one cooked Fido in the mean time.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is already being discussed in the previous thread. Anybody who eats their dog because they didn't see an update on the front page of metafilter is not a very good pet-owner. -- cortex

That post from a few days ago is still open. This would probably be better posted there.

So, this askme isn't as useful as we thought?

I think that this is a good post. I thought the other one was alarmist in the worst way so, you know, I like this.

Yeah, putting a refutation like this in an old thread that nobody is still reading is like corrections in a newspaper on the back page.

Dog meat has served as food for many cultures, not just Asian. I wish the "cooking Fido" link reflected that.
