Excellent explanation, and much thanks, Sandra.  You're detailed
description went into far better detail than the PBS and network TV
channels did. I don't think the television discussions mentioned sheep
offal, so that was a revelation.
I sometimes wonder that our dogs and cats don't have serious side
effects, what with all the strange things they put in their food.  I
noticed lately that they are advertising lamb in dog foods now.  In
light of the above, I wonder how is lamb meat, and how much is lamb
"other parts"?
... We have enough youths. How about a fountain of SMART?
