Its heart alone is the size of a small car, and there's enough room on its tongue for 50 people. It is the largest known animal in Earth's history. But despite their monumental proportions, the most phenomenal thing about whales isn't how big they are: It's the way they live. ...

After two years of caring for meat chickens and falling in love with the birds only for them to be slaughtered, I decided to buy my own chickens. At 11 years old, I started my first of many entrepreneurial ventures to save money for my own flock of layer breeds. Pretty soon, I proudl...
prices at the grocery store are directly attributable to the underlying commodity price, meaning that if the price of corn goes up, then so will the cost of feeding the chickens and pigs that are later slaughtered for meat or the cows that produce milk that is later sent to the grocery ...
Since the cows produce milk, meat (when slaughtered), calves, manure, hides, etc., the environmental burden (here GHG emissions) must be distributed between these outputs (in the present study no emissions are attributed to hides specifically, or to manure which is recycled on-farm). ...
Even cows burping cause 2.4% of the methane put into the atmosphere. Millions of cattle are raised and/or butchered for our addiction to dairy, meat and leather items. Their methane burps also get trapped in our atmosphere which in turn cause warmer weather, which then continues to melt ...
where its curdling activity facilitates extraction of nutrients from their mothers’ milk. Cheesemakers traditionally obtained chymosin in rennet, a preparation of curdled milk taken from the stomachs of slaughtered calves. But the growing demand for cheese created a need for a safer, more consistent...
This is why most roasting birds are slaughtered at or before 12 weeks of age. Industrially-produced chickens are butchered even sooner (and at a much higher body weight due to inhumane breeding practices and concentrate feeds laced with growth hormone). An old farm hen or rooster, though, ...
Corn has a similar prolamine called zein. Now you can heed or disregard this information as you please, but grains are a significant problem for most people. Upon removal of these grains, you will notice that you feel better. With reintroduction of grains…well, you feel worse. Keep in min...
What do you call it (‘cause I’m him (see also Robert Downey, Jr. in “The Singing Detective”) Are you faking?) Are we faking? Or, have you heard this all over? A machine, two road miners, 5:30. I can’t compete. So I can’t compete, the monsters will be showing (of,...
