Beef cattle

The decline in the sales of beef products over the last six months could have several plausible explanations. The selected research suggestion is to construct a survey of area restaurants to see if the situation is pervasive. Personally, I do not like the idea of a survey of area restaurants in this situation for several reasons. This particular survey would not answer the ultimate question of why there is a decline in the sales of beef products nor would it suggest an alternative to fixing the…

Australia’s population growth will place enormous pressure on the food production industry as crop productions and livestock grazing must increase to support the growth (Ruiz et al. 2013). However, the competition for land between residential and agricultural uses has limited the availability of cultivable land (Ruiz et al. 2013). Thus, sustainability is a major concern as production industries are forced to move further out from the capital cities and thus, will drive the cost of food up (Ruiz…

Nebraska has many natural resources. Nebraska’s most important products are beef cattle, corn, soybeans, and hogs. Livestock products account for about 2/3 of Nebraska’s farm income, and beef cattle are the most important source, followed by hogs. Corn is Nebraska’s most important crop, with much of it going to feed cattle and hogs. Petroleum, sand and gravel, clays for bricks, tiles, and pottery are also important resources. Two thirds of the High Plains Aquifer lie under Nebraska. Nebraska may…

presenting, Ruth Ozeki uses “meat” not just in the title but as a way that women (like Akiko) believe that they’re seen as which is cattle, I saw the metaphorical “equation” as body = meat and women = cattle. Ozeki also, most likely, did not put the clear use of cause and effect based on the fact that non-literal connections can be made about men towards women and cattle. Also, Ozeki had written this not only to read the fictional story of Akiko but to see a bigger picture of her culture and how…

lost about a fifth of its forests in the past 3 decades. One of the main causes is cattle ranching, especially in Brazil. For cattle ranching, trees are cut and the land is converted into a pasture for cattle grazing. Graph: demonstrates the amount of deforestation for herds in the Amazon Brazil also being the world’s largest exporter of beef, partly by selling to the US, the world’s biggest consumer of beef, and China, causes increasing population and increased per capita meat…

In The Cultural Ecology of India’s Sacred Cattle, Marvin Harris describes the Hindu sacredness of cows as being more influenced by economy than theology. He calculates the economic advantages and disadvantages of cows and the consequences of illegalizing cow slaughter, without considering the possibility that these may have come from theology. In the first paragraph, Harris admits that he has never been to India and all of his research is based off of reading. He admits this may lead to some…

According to Bill Chappell in “Dog Food Company Recalls Products That May Contain Pentobarbital,” he claims that the pet food producer Evanger had to recall its Hunk of Beef Au Jus product after a family’s pug had died from consuming. Evanger feared that the food contained the euthanasia drug pentobarbital. Several of the family’s other pugs consumed the contaminated food and became ill. Pentobarbital is a drug that can make the animal who ingests feel very sick and in rare cases can be the…

The first child to succumb this epidemic was Lauren Rudolph, a six-year-old girl whose symptoms began with an unbearable stomach ache. Her parents rushed her to the San Diego Children’s Hospital when they found blood in her diarrhea. When she…
