...Given the environmental spill-over costs of factory farmed meats, HUDS should exert this power. As food prices worldwide spike, most of the world’s corn and soy crops are fed to animals—with grain-fed beef requiring 10 times more grain to produce the same amount of calories as direct grain consumption. This, coupled with absurd ethanol subsidies, incentivizes monoculture production of corn across the Midwest, which in turn erodes soil and creates nitrogen run-off into the Gulf of Mexico...
...think I always recognized that it was a myth, but it was a convenient myth to buy into. It was a great excuse for not practicing.”It’s easy to see where Redman’s story might have led: he easily could have fed his mind at Yale Law School and only occasionally nourished his soul with his saxophone. It would have been a carefully balanced life, successful but average.Instead, less than six months after graduating and moving in with some Berklee grads in Brooklyn (he deferred his acceptance to law school), Redman entered...
Democrats are fed up. They’ve now been given several manufactured, make-or-break Tuesdays, and yet the primary churns on. Now things better turn more exciting, or we’ll switch to the ballgame.This ennui must stem from the penny-ante poker that the major news outlets have been playing for months on end. If this race is as revolutionary and unpredictable as we keep being told it is, why leave its coverage to the lumpy, petit-bourgeois benchwarmers puttering around this or that Washington bureau?

...practicing what you preach and genetically engineering a way to make your unfavorable practices kosher are not the same things.Ultimately, in vitro meat is the future of agriculture because of economic reasons, not animal welfare. According to the UN, in 2002, one-third of the global cereal harvest was fed to livestock . Roughly 75 to 95 percent of that food is lost to animal metabolism or the growth of inedible cells (hair, bones, etc). This high energy-cost method of producing meat cannot continue to supply food—especially for a global population that the U.S. Census Bureau estimates...
...slagging Clinton. "She's got the kitchen sink flying, the china flying - the buffet is coming at me," he said during a whistle-stop tour of southeastern Pennsylvania. His delivery of the kitchen-sink line was droll, but the rest of the tour was surprisingly soporific. He seemed fed up with campaigning - as any reasonably sane human being would be at this point - and embittered by the turn the race had taken...
