175 MILLIgrams of fat.
1 gram protein.

Looking at the second table, it gives you 93% of your GDA for vitamin A, 
and about 1% of your GDA for everything else. :-P

I'm thinking... entire cities full of dead meat are going to attract a 
lot of wildlife? I'm not sure which kinds - presumably birds, foxes, and 
stray pets like cats and dogs. I suppose maybe rats too.

Yeah, I'm wondering exactly how long an unattented power plant, 
telephone exchange or water plant will continue functioning... Somebody 
somewhere probably has data for this.

Does anyone know what The Raven became so popular?

Or how it actually makes comprehensible /sense/, for that matter? It 
seems to be a fairly random collection of sentences that collectively 
don't seem to /mean/ anything...

definitely be cats too. ;-)
