Their main claims are that such regulation is harmful for economic reasons. For example, it will increase the price of meat products and encourage industrial farms to use other dangerous methods to cut down the operating cost. Despite the fact that they provide…

has no cost at all. It’s equivalent of having a lunch but not paying for it. Potatoes have to grow somewhere, nothing is free however people think it is and oftenly mistake science for the magicians. The only who prospers on the human misery are the food factories. You gobble garbage, know all about it and you still do it. Why do you do it? You can’t help yourself or you actually expect to be saved by a miracle medication? Medications we have today were impossible to have years before. Price…

According to the book “Raising Seedlings of Tropical Trees,” a seed should have a certain amount of space between itself and another seed. “No closer than 1 cm to each other, and often 5–25 cm apart, to allow each plant enough room” (Longman, 2003). The thing the author is talking about leaving room for would be germination. For our group’s experiment, we hypothesized that putting a seed next to another seed will have no effect on the rate of germination. Germination can be defined as the…

According to agricultural researcher Charles Benbrook,Ph.D., 1.6 billion kilograms of Roundup have been spewed globally since 1971. (One kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds.) With more than 90% of USA corn grown from genetically engineered seeds, there’s little doubt that, whoever’s crunching corn chips that aren’t organic, are munching glyphosate in every bite. A Frito-Lay product fits the category, as Natural News reports. “Recent tests conducted on Frito-Lay’s SunChips product revealed the…

human health and wildlife, it was banned from the United States market in 1972. DDT like other chlorinated hydrocarbon is a very stable compound and hence, tends to be more persistent in the environment. DDT is also known as a bioaccumulates in the food chain. The bioaccumulation property of DDT coupled with its long half-life of 10 years and its ability to accumulate in the adipose or fat tissue explains some of the exaggerated detrimental health effects on humans and wildlife…

After watching the video I found it very interesting that flies are capable of learning. I never even thought that we could do such a thing. There is a lot of information in how humans can teach and train animals. But never have I heard of teaching flies. This goes to show the power and knowledge humans have. In the video, David conducted research on teaching fruit flies to avoid odors by pairing an odor with a shock. This reminds me of the use of classical conditioning of John B. Watson, Ivan…
