Believe it. Since 1987, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required that milk sold and distributed between states for human consumption be pasteurized, meaning it must first be heated to kill off most of the bacteria that might be lurking in the barn or flourishing in the cow. But a growing contingent of natural-food fans is demanding the right to bring milk from teat to table, convinced that pasteurization strips away the very stuff that makes milk so nutritious to begin with. Farmers are more than willing to meet the demand, since raw-milk products--milk, cheese, yogurt...
...boost. Mueller started her daughter on raw milk last winter as an experiment. "The previous year, she had bronchitis, an ear infection, a urinary-tract infection and three or four colds," Mueller says. "This year she missed two days of school all winter." That's why Mueller joined the cow-share program, in which members pay quarterly fees of $100 to $200 for the upkeep of the animals and get raw milk in return.

...What most customers don’t realize is the text messaging industry is a cash cow for cell operators, and few understand how cheap text messages should rightfully be. It would not be an exaggeration to call text messages the biggest racket in telecom history...
Here's how the process works: scientists biopsy stem or satellite muscle cells from a livestock animal, such as a chicken, cow or pig. The cells are then placed in a nutrient-rich medium where they divide and multiply, and are then attached to a scaffolding structure and put in a bioreactor to grow. In order to achieve the texture of natural muscle, the cells must be physically stretched and flexed, or exercised, regularly. After several weeks, voila, you have a thin layer of muscle tissue that can be harvested and processed into ground beef, chicken or pork, depending...
...case in point: the day after his unfortunate bowling excursion (where he scored a measly 47) Obama visited an agricultural facility in State College. In some campaign staffer's imagination the scene of the candidate in shirtsleeves feeding a bottle to a baby cow was a good way to present Obama-the-everyman. But with the media decked out in little blue protective booties, and Obama self-consciously patting the animal, the scene was uncomfortable for everybody but the calf...
