The same goes with rabbits. They have little fat and you will need to add fat to the diet to ensure you don't die with a full belly.

They are easier to raise than rabbits and for small land holders a great and sustainable source of protein. <br /><br />And to all you people not down with eating the little pigs, you are just being xenophobic, get over it. By the way dogs and cats are not the best at converting food to meat otherwise I would be down with eating those too.Mark Russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439180943121365896.post-37358045990811072652010-10-02T08:34:39.124-05:002010-10-02T08:34:39.124-05:00I'm still seeking clues to the availability of...I'm still seeking clues to the availability of these animals.

Guinea pigs are cherished pets in Great Britain and when South American immigrants to Britain wanted to serve guinea pig in their restaurants in London the British Cavy Council was up in arms. I just thought I would point out the similarities between eating dog and cat in the U.S. and eating guinea pig. Ever seen Andrew Zimmern's show "Bizarre Foods"? He went to Peru and ate guinea pig. As for me posting under "Anonymous", I just didn't feel like using my name.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439180943121365896.post-4036363085167945362009-06-11T21:36:20.517-05:002009-06-11T21:36:20.517-05:00Dear Anonymous,
