Animal suffering will never be art

I saw this post pop up on my Instagram page and...I have no words... According to news reports I have read, the exhibit involved starving three piglets on display to protest agricultural pig farming. The artist, Marco Evaristti, created the exhibit "And Now You Care" was designed to highlight the 28,000 piglets that die daily … Continue reading Animal suffering will never be art

Papa John’s La Vie Hawaiian pizza

I am going to address this first because I know it is a sensitive subject. I will also say this once, and then not again in this post, and I will not be accepting comments about this: Hawaiian pizza is the best pizza and pineapple does belong on pizza. In my opinion.

This isn’t chicken tenders

Sometimes all you need after a busy day or a long week is a Picky Tea. This might be a purely British meal, where you basically just grab a lot of food from the freezer and that's your dinner.
