The Future of Meat is Vegan, Says Bill Gates

The Future of Meat is Vegan, Says Bill Gates Future of Food Ever since retiring from Microsoft, Billionaire Bill Gates has been philanthropically involved with various humanitarian causes. Feeding the world is one of them. His heart is in the right place, although some of the directions taken are controversial. Recently, Gates published a thoughtful multimedia essay on his website, entitled The Future of Food – How food scientists are reinventing meat – and how it can benefit everyone. The underlying thesis: world demand for meat is doubling every few decades…the earth cannot sustain this growth…we need a solution…the solution is tech to transform plant proteins into meat equivalents…the end result should be satisfactory to the most nuanced chefs. Global Demand for Meat A company highly touted in the piece is Beyond Meat , whose products are available for sale at Whole Foods Market. Take, for example, their vegan “ Grilled Chicken-Free Strips ” produ

Pope Slams Rampant Inequality, 'Economy That Kills' | Common Dreams Pope Slams Rampant Inequality, 'Economy That Kills' 'The socioeconomic system is unjust at its root' - Andrea Germanos, staff writer Pope Francis has issued a new document in which he rails against growing inequality, trickle-down economics and the current socioeconomic system that "is unjust at its root." "Today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills," Pope Francis wrote in a new document. (Photo: © European Union 2013 - European Parliament) Issued on Tuesday, his 224-page document, called an apostolic exhortation, is titled The Joy of the Gospel , and follows previous remarks the pontiff has made against inequality. From the document: Just as the commandment “Thou shalt not kill” sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say “thou shalt

David Suzuki's Fukushima Warning Is Dire And Scary (VIDEO)

David Suzuki's Fukushima Warning Is Dire And Scary (VIDEO) david suzuki fukushima David Suzuki has issued a scary warning about Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, saying that if it falls in a future earthquake, it's "bye bye Japan" and the entire west coast of North America should be evacuated. The "Nature of Things" host made the comments in a talk posted to YouTube after he joined Dr. David Schindler for "Letting in the Light," a symposium on water ecology held at the University of Alberta on Oct. 30 and 31. An excerpt of the talk shows Suzuki outlining a frightening scenario that would result from the destruction of the nuclear plant. "Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine," he said.
