It's full of vitamins/minerals/nutrients/protein. Some people eat it when- ever they have the chance. That meat is placenta. I tried it once and found its taste no worse than liver (it's hard to believe I used to actually eat liver). It's main use is to stop post-partum hemorrhage and infection (it's full of hormones, too). I know this may sound too gross to be true, but is it any more gross than killing an animal to get its flesh/organs/etc ? (I'm vegetarian mostly because meat doesn't taste good). ------------ Larry (future midwife?) Fenske

Speaking of mousetraps...you know the adage about a better one? Well, before I left California I saw they were marketing what is probably the single more horrible trap I have ever seen! It was a small white plastic bowl inverted with a hole on the side and some bait inside. The mouse presumably has some sort of zealous desire to get to the bait so The (she) crawls into the thing and BLAMO the little door closes AIR TIGHT and suffocates the poor critter. Sick sick sick sick sick. I would much rather use a normal trap and kill it quickly if I desired to harm the guy... Anyone else have any comments? Dave Taylor HP CNO - Fort Collins CO

Pardon my leaping in at the end, but what exactly IS 'rennet'? I have never heard of such a thing! Dave Taylor

Sorry this posting is so late, I just started reading this news group. I'm really fond of "The Moosewood Cookbook", by Mollie Katzen. She has written a second book, "The Enchanted Brocolli Forest" that is almost as good, though I've had failures with some its recipes. "Moosewood", on the other hand, has thus far been foolproof. It's also fun to read. All recipes veggie (tho many with eggs/cheese), but not dogmatically "healthy" - lots of rich, goopie desserts, for instance. The spanakopita (spinach pie) recipe just drips with butter - but, BOY, is it good... -- Jerry Callen ...ihnp4!inmet!ada-uts!callen
