20 Things You Might Not Know about Garfield

Garfield the cat has appeared in movies, television shows, and, most importantly, comic strips since 1978. Scott Neumyer of Mental Floss rounded up 20 fun facts about the long-lived cat.

For example, cartoonist Jim Davis named Garfield after his grandfather, who was named after US President James A. Garfield. Let us hope that if Garfield ever passes away, Arthur the aardvark will step into his role.

Very shrewd PR effort by McDonald's! Probably worth pointing out that there have been issues with use of antibiotics, gestation crates, etc., in the process of what brings that meat to the processing plant. In fairness to McDonald's, gestation crates are being phased out -- they're already illegal in some places. Additionally, you get a hearty helping of sodium in a McRib. Just trying to bring some balance to the PR.

The audio/CC for the video doesn't work where I am at the moment. While there are some possibly legit complaints about modern processed meat, I do see a few too many reactions that amount to more baseless disgust. What is especially sad is when it comes from chefs that complain about the scrap meats and bones being used in some processed goods, but still use stocks and offal made from the same animal parts.
