Should Aliens Keep Humans in Crates for Their Juicy Meat?
There is sooo much talk these days about aliens, it's clearly time to go beyond the standard they-are-taking-over the-planet meme (or have already taken it over, depending on who you ask).Let's get to the nitty-gritty details, like what aliens eat. All species eat, right? If they do, we can only hope it's not us, but it certainly could be. Imagine human gestation crates, just like the ones pregnant pork pigs (who are kept pregnant/caged their entire lives - fun, we're sure) "live" ...
Scary Smart is Fricking Scary!
A Mars Inc. advert in a modern-day ladies magazine about homey type stuff (Real Simple, which is actually pretty thick with lots and lots of simple-ish things like products, lots of them) called it: "Scary Smart" (with Scary in GREAT BIG letters) above a blown up photo of a fluffy chocolate candy bar.How, we wonder, could this be either "scary" or "smart?" But there it is in white text meant to catch the eye: "45% less fat." Get it? This is supposed to be better-for-you so it's smart. ...
Green Food: More Than Popeye Imagined
We all know that greens are good for us. Popeye had spinach, George Bush the Elder had broccoli (ok, it was his nemesis, but that's another story). Hopefully, most of us who have opened our eyes to the role of food in our lives now eat and enjoy lots of greens in lots of delicious ways (kale and potato soup, spinach with garlic, tatsoi salad, etc).Now, there’s a new type of green – the eco-friendly type – that is all the rage now that the world seems to be unraveling at the seams: ...
Don’t Poo Where You Eat
It's disgusting really (ok, we've seen dogs gobble up the stuff but even on the Internet, we're not dogs). Except it's not as far-fetched as one would hope. The fact is, when you eat, you must Consider the Source.In many parts of the world, crops are fertilized with night soilwhich sounds way better than it actually is, which is basically the always-ready poo fertilizer that's the "end-product" of what we eat. Maybe it's safe, probably not, but no matter what, it's gross. Ask yourself, do ...
Salmon Out of Season
Word has it that teenage "bad-boy" Levi Johnston of the Wasilla Warriors ice hockey team and daddy-to-be of 17 year-old Bristol Palin's baby was arrested last year for poaching salmon out of season. We're not political people but that pains us.By its own mission statement and policy, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, seeks to protect, maintain, and improve Alaska's fish, game, and aquatic plant resources. Fishing "seasons" are part of this mission. Good idea. Alaska is our nation's ...
