A recent study of Burmese pythons concludes that snake meat is more efficient to produce than traditional livestock, making it a viable protein alternative to cows or pigs.

When animal products are no longer made by animals, what do we call them?

When people invent new products it would be helpful if they renamed them.

There are plant-based “milks” – coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, etc. are helpful to those with allergies to cow’s milk.

by John Klar

Christians find liberation in Christ’s teachings, emancipating them from the stringent, legalistic dietary codes of Judaism. Jesus implored followers not to fret over food and drink (Matthew 6:25; Luke 12:22), emphasizing that true defilement does not stem from what enters the body (Mark 7:15).

I wrote this 10 days ago and now we have the baby formula problem to add to the food shortages.
