Almost every child in the world grows up learning, thinking, and accepting that eating the flesh of animals is good for you, drinking cow’s milk will make your bones strong, eating eggs for breakfast is a healthy meal, etc. I have believed all of these things for the majority of my life. As a child, I would drink cow’s milk even though I never enjoyed the taste of it simply because I was told that it will make you strong, healthy, and will help you grow. I would eat eggs in the morning because it was advertized as a healthy food that is full of protein. It was not the fault of my parents for feeding me this food since they too had never known the reality behind the food we ate. (exposed aware I first became exposed to the truth when I randomly

    I do not believe that there is any real concern for contracting prions/Mad Cow Disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease from Altoids. I believe this to be true because of many reasons, one being that the transmission from one species to another, while highly possible is less successful on the prions part than from one animal to another of the same species. “The transmission of prions from one species to another is accompanied by a prolonged incubation time on the initial passage to the host, with subsequent passages being considerably shorter. ... this "species barrier" has been shown to be due to differences in PrP [prions] sequence” (Fred Cohen, K. Pan, Z. Huang). The article also states that there are differences in DNA and genetic makeup amongst different species thus, prions have more difficulty transmitting from species to another.…

    The project that I chose for the Baroness to fund was proposed by John, Anne, Adam, and Heather and was title “Integration of Lignin-Degrading Enzyme in Cow Rumen”. This project is seeking to generate a recombinant E. coli that degrades lignin into digestible compounds that the cow can utilize as energy source. This project was particularly useful in that it is seeking to take advantage of an energy source that is a carbon rich nutrient, thus allowing for an increase in efficiency of digestion for the cow.

It is better for baby to nurse straight from the source than from a bottle of pumped milk.

In his 2001 essay “The Trouble with Fries” Malcolm Gladwell makes a simple statement, “Fast food is killing us. Can it be fixed?” These words are meant to provoke a deep, visceral reaction from the reader so that they will keep reading but he isn’t wrong in his overall assessment.…
