There are some dangerous things going on, deep down where no one can see them. They have to do with food too: Depending on your genes, you may not get supersized eating a fast food hamburger, and you won't get super sick either, because many of these restaurants are now battling E. coli bacteria and salmonella by injecting their ground beef...
Autistic animal researcher Temple Grandin works to find humane, non-frightening ways for animals, such as cattle, chickens and pigs, to be slaughtered. Along with the "hormone free," "cage free" and "antibiotic free" labels on meat that are now found in grocery stores, we may soon see a new one: "pain free."
Everyone craves it (almost everyone, that is), but some people say it isn't all that good for you. But no matter how you feel about it, it's long overdue for a makeover.
Enriching meats with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids may help consumers to associate meat with a healthy lifestyle. One of the healthy things that meat contains is...
Three years ago, we reported that astronauts may eventually create fake meat in space. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) thinks this is a wonderful idea, and is even offering a million dollar prize to the person who does a creditable job of it. Let's just hope they don't use vegetarians as judges!
PETA figures that this...
The US Department of Agriculture told US farmers to keep their cloned animals off the market at the same time that the Food and Drug Administration officials announced that food from cloned livestock is safe to eat. And huge amounts of beef have been recalled in California. What's going on?
A molecule that makes the immune system think our body has been invaded is absorbed into our bodies when we eat red meat and milk products. Despite this, we?ve been eating meat and rejecting fish every chance we?ve gotten since prehistoric days.
The molecular sugar called N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), which is found in non-human...
Wild meats eaten by ancient hunters contained healthier fats than modern farmed cattle, claims Lauren Cordain of Colorado State University. He and his colleagues have shown that meat from wild elk, deer and antelope contain more beneficial types of fat than meat from today?s grain-fed cattle.
Scientists trying to create alternative food sources for astronauts believe we could grow meat on in a laboratory, without slaughtering fish or animals. Scientists at Touro College in New York have managed to make slices of fish grow bigger this way and believe it will be possible in the future to grow meat in industrial quantities from the...
