To say eating horsemeat is unAmerican is a strongly elitist statement.  Eating horsemeat has usually been an issue of poverty.  I ate horsemeat as a child in the late 1950's.  Sometimes it was the only protein in addition to eggs we could afford.  I don't want to return to this practice myself, but I do understand it might supplement meager diets for some.  Gingere

Since dyslexia is so common, why don't public schools test and have regular programs to assist children/youth? Once I had to arrange over $2,000 to pay for an outside program to assist a foster child who had been diagnosed through external testing.  This issue affects so many children, it is quite common and seems to be not addressed in our public schools.
