Salutations,
Is it a coincidence that the Father’s Day issue of the Food section is devoted to pet food? I do not believe that it is a coincidence at all. As a father, I have been accustomed to being sent to the proverbial doghouse on occasion, and I see no reason why this day should be different from any other.
Jenn Harris reports on some special Father’s Day brunches, but also on healthy children's menus, transfat bans, and a buffet line in Switzerland that discourages overeating by planting pictures of starving African children on its tables –- so think about that the next time you’re contemplating an extra pancake or two.
