SharePentobarbital is the drug many animal shelters use to kill animals, so what in the heck is it doing in dog food?

ShareOooh, la laaah, these are so good! I created this recipe with the novice crepe maker in mind, so they’re a tiny bit thicker, and slightly smaller than traditional French crepes, making them easier to flip. If making crepes is old hat for you, feel free to add a bit more nut milk to make them thinner. And don’t fret… Read more →
ShareBecause beef? Well, it’s not for dinner. At least not according to the masses who shop at Trader Joe’s.
