​Our pets are officially eating better than we are, according to a New York Times story headlined "Boeuf Bourguignon Again?" (Subtitle: Pet Foods Go Gourmet). Americans are spending their hard-earned cash on their "fur babies," because that's how we live in today's society. "'It is now considered socially acceptable to treat pets as members of the family and to express that by spending lavishly on them, especially when it comes to food,' said David Lummis, the senior pet-industry analyst for Packaged Facts," writes The Times' William Grimes. Perhaps this is fortunate considering that dogs are no longer allowed to dine at Sardi's.
