Pulled from the Glen Park Parents Board mailing list, we came across this urgent plea for help. See, the recently opened Whole Foods is hurting small meat business Drewes Brothers Meats, located in Upper Noe Valley at 1706 Church.

Pro-life zealots on the Berkeley City Council voted Tuesday night to pass a resolution supporting the city's position against the serving the deliciousness known as foie gras. The fattened liver dish, for those of you who don't know, is the plumped liver of a duck or goose that has been force-fed 20 percent of its healthy body weight. What it lacks in moral fiber, it more than makes up for in rich, full, savory flavor. After the vote, Berkeley Councilmember Jesse Arreguin whined to the Daily Cal, "The importance of this item is to raise awareness of the really inhumane practice of force-feeding geese and ducks to create foie gras." Restaurants serving the dish after the law goes into effect can be fined $1,000 per day. Tuesday's vote comes on the heels of San Francisco getting squeamish on the dish earlier this year. Also, for those of you curious about foie gras, you can taste it at one of these local restaurants that typically feature it on their menus.

Located in the heart of the Salinas Valley, a Greenfield father is accused of trying to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage. And how much was his nubile daughter worth to him? $16,000, 100 cases of beer, and several cases of meat. Arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, father of the year Macelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, went back to the unidentified 18-year-old suitor because payment wasn't made as promised. Jesus. What's more, according to the MomLogic, "Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community." Who knew? Strange.
