WHAT are those Cows Eating?

clipper's remarks: The cattle that end up as our burgers may have eaten things we don't want to know about, but which may endanger our health.

This simple fact would shock most consumers if they knew about it. People assume that beef found to be contaminated with E. coli must be thrown out or destroyed (or even recalled), but in reality, it's often just pressed into hamburger patties, cooked, and sold to consumers. This practice is openly endorsed by the USDA.

But E. coli may not be the worst thing in your burger: USDA regulations also allow chicken feces to be used as feed for cows, meaning your hamburger beef may be made of second-hand chicken poop, recycled through the stomachs of cows.

Now, you might wonder how chicken feces could pose a mad cow infection risk to cows. And if you're not already grossed out by what you've read so far, you will be when you read the answer to this question: It's because chickens are fed ground up parts of other animals such as cows, sheep and other animals. Some of that chicken feed spills out and gets swept up as chicken litter, then fed to cows.

Dear NaturalNews readers,

Hungry for a burger? You might want to think twice about what's really in it. Did you know the USDA openly allows cow farmers to feed their cattle herds chicken feces?

Yep, it's true. And McDonald's is actually against the practice, if you can believe that. In fact, there's an effort under way to ban it altogether. Read more here:

GM grass trial aims to cut cows' gas

GM grass trial aims to cut cows' gas

A plan to grow paddocks of genetically modified grass created to cut the greenhouse gases produced by cows is in the pipeline at Crown-owned company AgResearch.

The proposal has already provoked criticism from anti-GM groups, who say outdoor trials could jeopardise New Zealand's reputation as a GM-free dairy exporter.

If successful, the grass could take a slice off New Zealand's methane and nitrous oxide emissions, which make up about half the country's emissions under internationally agreed standards.

GM-free campaigner Claire Bleakley said the trials would divert money from work being done using non-GM legumes and grasses to cut greenhouse gases and increase productivity in animals.

She said the Government should keep funding that research to give farmers the option of staying GM-free.

Methane and nitrous oxide are both waste products produced by grazing animals.

Charges Dropped Against Cop Caught Having Sex With Cows

MOUNT HOLLY, NJ -- A former police officer accused of having a moonlight tryst with a group of cows will not be facing animal cruelty charges after all.

As it turns out bestiality is not a crime in New Jersey.

Former Moorestown police officer Robert Melia Jr. was charged last year with sexually assaulting three girls.

During the investigation, police say they found a video in the man's home that showed him sexually molesting cows.

According to prosecutors, Melia Jr. dropped his trousers and let the animals taste his genitals on a Southhampton farm in 2006.

Superior Court Judge ruled Wednesday that prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence to jurors that proved that Melia's alleged actions in fact tormented the cows.

"I'm not saying it's okay," Judge Morley said in court after dismissing the charges.

"This is a legal question for me. It's not a question of morals."

Melia and former girlfriend Heather Lewis remain charged with molesting the three girls.

Meat creates half of all greenhouse gases

clipper's remarks: 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.

Climate change emissions from meat production are far higher than currently estimated, according to a controversial new study that will fuel the debate on whether people should eat fewer animal products to help the environment.

In a paper published by a respected US thinktank, the Worldwatch Institute, two World Bank environmental advisers claim that instead of 18 per cent of global emissions being caused by meat, the true figure is 51 per cent.

They claim that United Nation's figures have severely underestimated the greenhouse gases caused by tens of billions of cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and other animals in three main areas: methane, land use and respiration.

"If this argument is right," write Goodland and Anhang, "it implies that replacing livestock products with better alternatives would be the best strategy for reversing climate change.

Scientists are concerned about livestock's exhalation of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Cows

emit 37 per cent of the world's methane.

Climate chief Lord Stern: give up meat to save the planet

Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas

People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.

In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”

Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.

Six years ago, Fox News successfully argued in court that it had a constitutional right to report lies

The mainstream media have almost entirely ignored a court case in which lawyers for Fox News argued six years ago that their client has a right under the First Amendment to peddle falsehoods in the guise of news.

On August 18, 2000, journalist Jane Akre won $425,000 in a court ruling where she charged she was pressured by Fox News management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information.

The real information: she found out cows in Florida were being injected with RBGH, a drug designed to make cows produce milk – and, according to FDA-redacted studies, unintentionally designed to make human beings produce cancer.

clipper's remarks: Why isn't this front page news? Why don't people care about this?

What Monsanto doesn't tell consumers is that this supplementation of additional growth hormones is causing secondary sex characteristics to appear earlier in young children, especially girls. Monsanto also doesn't tell consumers that rBGH injected cows produce extremely high levels of Insulin Growth Factor -1 (IGH-1), a cancer promoter that occurs naturally in the human bloodstream at levels that generally do not result in tumors. Monsanto and the FDA refuse to acknowledge research directly linking elevated levels of IGF-1 to increased risk of breast and prostate cancer. To make matters worse, Monsanto and the FDA colluded in '93 and '94 to block labeling requirements for rBGH milk (even today Monsanto and the FDA block labeling of genetically engineered food). So, the average dairy consumer has no idea that they are increasing their own risk of getting cancer.

New Seven Layer Whopper! Can You Handle it?

clipper's remarks: This Windows 7 Whopper might be estimated at five times larger than a typical quarter pounder. Thus, if you do the math, this 7-layered Whopper could be using 7,000 gallons of water to produce (give or take, depending on the size of the patties). In a world running out of fresh water supplies (fossil water), that's a huge quantity to plow through in one meal.

Burger King (Japan) offers Windows 7 Whopper with 7 beef patties for $7.77 (satire)

(NaturalNews) What do you get when you combine a good operating system with a ridiculously bad idea of a burger? Burger King's news "Windows 7 Whopper," made with 7 beef patties and sold for ¥777 (Yen).

Stacked five inches high, it's not yet clear whether customers will be able to shove this burger down their throats in the way Microsoft did with Vista a few years back,

You might need 7 anti-diarrhea pills and 7 days of rest just to recover.

Even if your stomach can handle the Whopper 7, there's a larger question of whether the planet can: The factory production of beef requires enormous quantities of fresh water. According to the Water Education Foundation, a quarter-pound hamburger requires roughly 1,300 gallons of fresh water to produce (by the time you factor in all the water the cows drink, the water for the crops fed to cows, etc.).

Farmville Dairy Farms!

Farmville Dairy Farms! – Farmville Dairy Farm will hold 20 cows in and it will allow you to harvest them all at once. You don’t have to waste that much space or time anymore, which is absolutely great!

The Farmville Dairy Farm can be purchased with 10,000 coins or 20 FV$. I must say that 10,000 coins is a bargain and I’m excited about having options (coins or FV$). I just bought one and all you do is place 20 cows inside, clear up some space in the meantime and wait for them to collect.

That's latest on Farmville Dairy Farms! From 90UP News

14 Cows - Masai to America

clipper's remarks: Wonderful story, great jewelry, super cause.

Clip Source: www.meeshka.net

In Kenya, the Masai, a nomadic tribe who raise cattle, cherish three things: their children, their land, and their cows. On September 11, 2001 they did not know what had happened in America. In fact, they did not know until June 2002 when Kimeli Naiyomah, a pre-med student at Stanford University, returned to visit his tribe in Kenya. The young elder, 25 years old, gathered his tribe and told the story of airplanes used as bombs crashing into tall buildings that reached the clouds, huge fires, people jumping to their deaths, heroes risking their own lives to save as many as possible, and finally, the tall buildings falling to the ground below.

The Masai were shaken, saddened, and angered by what they heard. Losing 3,000 people at once would eliminate their entire tribe. They wanted to do something to help. The Masai were able to collect 14 cows from their tribesmen to give to the United States.

Alien Abduction Lamp released

This lamp has been a long time coming and we’ve been waiting patiently for our chance to see cows in mid-abduction. It has finally gone from prototype to reality. You gotta love the aliens peering out of the UFO windows.

This final version of the lamp features LEDs that light up the alien cockpit, and a steel retro spacecraft over an illuminated tractor beam. You can have the light always on or a pulse lighting effect behind the windows. When you turn the lights off, the aliens glow in the dark.

And yes, it comes with a plastic cow.
