Our children aren't puppies, madam.

I don't know if this woman's decision to feed starving African children dog food was based in racism -- maybe I'm being naive. There must be some kind of innate racism to make her say that because would she have offered dog food to starving children in Denmark?

Let me not trouble the Danes too much as the militant Muslims are wildin' out on their backsides right now over so-called blasphemous cartoons. That, my friends, is another blog.

But while some people are screaming racism, let's take another look at the situation: millions are dying. They need food. This woman, who owns a dog food company, offered something -- which is a lot more than some other people have offered. The way she sees her dog food -- nutritious, vitamin-rich, filling -- is, obviously, the not the way others may see it.

Now, should she have offered dog food? Eventhough she says she eats it herself? Hell no. That's just insulting. Maybe offering feed to the cattle in Kenya to help fatten them up so the Kenyans could have a meal would make more sense... it would take more time and more people would die, but it would make sense.

Offering money to buy food would have been better, but I don't know how this woman's pocket is. She may not have the extra liquid cash to donate.

What I do know is if you are starving, your pride won't stop you from eating because your survival instincts will kick in. I've read about people drinking urine to quench their thirst because they just wanted to live.

So, this is a blog about life or death. If no one else is offering, do you eat dog food and live or do you turn up your nose and die?
