Government sites - for kids!

So, I don't know why a kid would even go to this site USDA. It is kind of informational, but very 20th century in its web design. Yeesh. I just liked 'Rus' the rural surfing squirrel.

Looking through the USDA site for kida, they have multiple sites! Why, I don't know. Maybe teachers use them? But found this disturbing bit of info:

AMS grades different kinds of poultry including: chicken, turkey, duck, goose, guinea, and pigeon.

Guinea? Pigeon? You can buy USDA rated pigeon? I know European and Central American cuisine utilizes pigeon as food, but the US?

Although this link is kind of useful to know: Using USDA Meat Grades

In case you need them, pigeon recipes [!]

and Guinea Fowl .

I don't think I have ever seen Guinea Fowl in a store or on a menu.
