Throughout history capitalists have tended to focus on the short term gains rather than how their actions will effect them, as well as others, over the long term, and when it comes to the environment it is no different. The valorization of capital both relies on and affects the environment in a countless number of ways. It relies on the environment through the externalization of environmental costs of production, while at the same time it effects the environment by depleting natural resources…

In this article, Sharon DeWitte and Philip Slavin analyze how the Great Famine and the Great Bovine Pestilence influenced the health of the population in the early 14th century, specifically in England. In doing this, they attempt to determine if these two disasters had an impact on the susceptibility of certain population groups to the Black Death that devastated Europe during the middle of the 1300s. There is a detailed analysis of paleopidemiology data from a study involving skeletal remains…

thus, we are not aware of its properties; one animal may be injected with a large amount, whereas another may contain very little. This means that if an individual consumes beef that originally had a numerous amount of chemicals injected into the cattle, he/she will experience harsher side effects. By minimizing or even eliminating the use of chemicals, farm animals will be able to grow in their own rate and provide natural products. In Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, she illustrates a community…

ways. It creates more greenhouse gas emissions than from all transportation vehicles combined (Cowspiracy). Not only that, but it is also the cause of 90% of the rainforest destruction (Cowspiracy). The space that was once a rainforest is now used as cattle grounds or to grow the necessary grain to keep up…

adults around the world, I used to be a dedicated consumer of milk. In my youth, I regularly drank a substantial amount of milk every day because it was widely recognized as the best drink for promoting growth. However, I now never drink milk or any dairy products because I believe it does more harm than good. Even though I was drinking one to two liters every day, I rarely saw any height development. Instead, when I stopped consuming it I began to noticeably grow, and it seemed like my growth…

cheese, and other dairy products. Brucellosis can usually be treated. However, it can be life-threatening if the infection leads to inflammation of the heart (endocarditis) or linings of the brain (meningitis).

Everyone has heard of the impending doom of global warming. Over the last decade, most people have verbally expressed that it was a myth. Now, with the extreme transmutations in our climate, people are finally opening their eyes. The elevating temperatures and extreme weather patterns, pose the question, how could this have transpired? Well, let me tell you. Global warming is defined in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as: the elevation in the earth’s atmospheric and marine temperatures…

and shape; not surprising according to Craig et al. (2015). Vessels used for porcine products (pigs) tended to be 2-3mm thicker than those used for dairy, while ruminant carcass fats (cattle, sheep, etc.) required pots of medium size. This evidence is consistent with the animal bones found on site; diets likely consisted mainly of cattle, pigs, and dairy, with very little plant-based consumption. While it is reasonable to assume this was common throughout the region, it is likely also reflective…

Animal Testing There has been a long debate on whether animal should be used as a main source of testing Animals have been experimented and tested on for centuries. People came up with the idea that if they were unsure how a substance or compound would react on them, they started to use the same chemical on animal to see the results. They would then compare the results with the humans once they were used as test subjects. Animals have proven to be a source for testing since they have similar…
