POPSHealthy Monday: Canada Joins Meatless Monday Movement Could this happen here in the biggest meat consuming countries in the world? Don’t we care enough about our health to cut meat out of our diets at least one day a week? Most of our health costs stem from eating red meat. Most of our food costs stem from feeding cattle. Doesn’t it make economic as well as heatlh sense to cut down on our red meat consumption?

POPSGreat White Sharks Have Their Own Cafe
"Over an eight year period, nearly 100 sharks were electronically tagged, and even more had tissue samples taken by scientists working from a ship. Not only do the sharks consistently migrate along the same paths, they stick to a schedule too. Between August and December, the Great Whites -- which can grow up to six metres (20 feet) and three tonnes -- stalk waters off the coast of central and northern California, feasting on seals and sea lions. Their preferred hunting grounds in this area are known as the "red triangle", notes the study, published in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Starting in January, they head for the deep blue around Hawaii some 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) to the west, where they are found in largest numbers between April and July. But some -- especially males -- loiter at a halfway point known as the "White Shark Cafe", with females coming and going for what scientists presume is a bit of shark intimacy. The new findi

POPSGreat Whites Hang Out in 'Shark Cafe' It had long been assumed shark species at the top of the ocean food chain that roam the high seas looking for food and mates did so almost randomly. But using satellite tagging, acoustic monitoring of shark "hot spots" and genetic samples, a research team led by Professor Barbara Block of Stanford University found to their surprise that the eastern Pacific's great whites are real homebodies. Over an eight year period, nearly 100 sharks were electronically tagged, and even more had tissue samples taken by scientists working from a ship. Sticking to a schedule They found that the sharks consistently migrate along the same paths and stick to a schedule. Between August and December, the great whites, which can grow up to six metres and weigh three tonnes, stalk waters off the coast of central and northern California, feasting on seals and sea lions. Their preferred hunting grounds in this area are known as the "red triangle", notes the study.

POPS Meat creates half of all greenhouse gases People are cutting down rain forests to make grazing land for cattle, or to grow soya beans for cattle to eat. Now the numbers of methane emitting livestock are orders of magnitude greater than they were only 50 years ago.

POPSAmerican Beef Got to be Imported No Matter Which Political Party (Nationalists or DPP) is in Power.
http://blog.udn.com/NorthAmerica/3445269 從這些找的到的資料看來，台灣必須在WTO的架構下和美國談判牛肉進口事宜。 如果台灣要拒絕特定牛內臟，必須能拿的出科學證據以及研究報告，不然可能被WTO認為設下貿易壁壘。 今天美國不來扣關，明天加拿大(另一個危險控制中的國家)也可能來向WTO訴諸仲裁。 到時候不是被裁定必須開放牛肉進口，就是台灣必須退出WTO。 對於依靠輸出的台灣來說，離開WTO恐怕就是末日的到來。 政府基於對WTO的承諾，不能不開放美國牛肉及內臟進口，但是只要民眾不吃牛內臟或甚至美國牛肉，就沒有商人會進口這些國人有疑慮的產品。 網路上有人建議政府每個月公布商人或個人進口美國牛內臟的數量和日期資料，我相信這樣一來沒有人有興趣做這筆生意。 附件 : 1.

POPSLand Use Comparison - Solar Panels vs Feeding Pets I was quite amazed by this at first. Yet, when I thought about a bit longer, it did not particularly surprise me. It is just another one of those things that sits right under our noses, that we miss. "Can't see the forest through the trees" type of thing.

POPSDispelling myths about meatless meals The right-wing blowhards getting their knickers in a twist over this is so amusing. Because it's indoctrination to teach kids that anything but meat for lunch is a good thing. How dare they! Like kids experiencing foregoing meat one meal a week is some sort of communist plot to weaken our children and make them susceptible to socialized medicine and nuclear disarmament or something.
