Eating your own dog food

Anyone interested in the curious phrase "eating your own dog food" might
want to check out a short Newseek article that purports to explain its
origins:

http://newsweek.com/nw-srv/printed/us/bz/a19522-2000may7.htm

The article also introduces a great new term: "work judo" -- the art of
deflecting an assignment to someone else without appearing to be ducking
work. I'd love to use it as a Word Spy post, but it doesn't appear elsewhere
in Lexis-Nexis and I can't find it on Electric Library or the Web. Has
anyone seen it?
