In April of 2023, somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, the internet did that thing it does. A Product Safety Datasheet for a cleaning product was associated with the new and mysterious Gates Industrial Complex food coating Apeel.

May 13, 2024 John Klar

The Biden administration’s assault on farmers now includes an openly racist and sexist dimension: allocating $25 billion in federal disaster relief funds to stricken farmers based solely on race and gender.

Climate Farming Dreams are a Nightmare for Diners

April 17, 2024 John Klar

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.

October 26, 2024February 22, 2024 Julie P

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.
