"PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK" A commercial promoting pork says: "PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK" The MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CAFETERIA MENU AND EXPLAINS WHY:Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why.

“Such litigation shows promise for addressing gaps left by inadequate regulation and for holding major polluters accountable,” Yale researchers says. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anew legal analysis in the Columbia Journal of Environmental Law proposes filing lawsuits against America’s agriculture industry, following the same legal playbook climate activists are using against the oil industry. To be sure, climate activists have for years targeted the agriculture industry, particularly methane emission from cattle and their manure. The United Nations, in fact, has a program dedicated to educating people about how meat production is contributing to climate change. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency has a...

The swamp is back in full force we have a thousand-page Bill of $1.2 trillion filled with all manners of spending priorities that are at odds with the American people. This bill is over a thousand pages long, contains hundreds of pages of report language, 1,400 ear marks, and we've had about 24 hours to review it. That is not the way to do business, and the American people and American families are the ones left holding the bag. This is business as usual in the swamp, and here's the deal to my Republican colleagues: You will own every single...

"More than half of the Republican conference voted against GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's omnibus funding bill, rebuking the leader's efforts to avoid a shutdown ahead of Friday's deadline. The House voted on the spending package brokered by Johnson on Friday, passing the bill by a vote of 286 to 134. The bill needed 280 votes to pass. But while the legislation garnered enough bipartisan support to push it to the Senate, 112 House Republicans and 22 House Democrats voted against it. Only 101 members of Johnson's party voted in favor of the package. "

A pork plant and major employer in central Iowa is closing. The Tyson Foods plant in Perry will close permanently on June 28.

We understand the impact of this decision on our team members and the local community.

The teachers at Munkevaengets School are threatened by students in the oldest classes - and now it has emerged that the [Muslim] students have a 'haram police' who, among other things, check other students' lunches for pork"We are doing all parties a disservice if we just stand by and let Muslim culture take over." We must dare to talk about it, and we politicians should probably take the lead and take the difficult debates. Angry, speechless and upset This is what Anders Kronborg, Social Democratic Folketing member and naturalization spokesman, says to JydskeVestkysten about the self-appointed "haram police" that some...

In this article, I’m going to debunk two myths. The first myth regards the need to cook pork until it’s well done to avoid trichinosis (trichonelosis). The second myth is a myth within the myth, regarding the degree of cooking needed to render pork generally safe to eat. The questions are: Do we still need to worry about trichinosis in pork? And, if so, how much do we need to cook pork to kill this dangerous parasite?

In an interview this week, Viktor Shokin, the Ukraine prosecutor who was investigating Burisma--the firm that employed Hunter Biden--asked "why isn't the fact that Joe Biden bragged he threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid to Ukraine unless I was fired evidence of his corruption? Is that not paying a bribe for my dismissal?" Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pointed out that "President Biden was very clear that his threat to withhold the billion dollars in aid had the full backing of President Obama. The threat to withhold federal aid in order to extort desired behavior is a presidential...

At least 42% of 1,500 doctors surveyed had never heard of alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne illness that can cause potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat. A potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat may impact almost half a million Americans, but many doctors have no idea what it is or how to treat it, according to research published Thursday. Two reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal significant gaps in knowledge about alpha-gal syndrome, even as the condition is rising in the population.

* One of the latest GMO Frankenfoods is Piggy Sooy, a soybean genetically engineered to contain pig protein. One or more undisclosed pig genes are spliced into conventional soya to create a soybean with 26.6% animal protein * Moolec, the U.K.-based company that developed Piggy Sooy, is also working on developing a pea plant that produces beef protein. The company claims these transgenic hybrids will provide similar taste, texture and nutritional value as meat, without the high cost of cultured or lab-grown meat alternatives * June 21, 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture authorized the sale of cell-cultivated chicken from...

The FDA approved lab-grown meat and say it is OK for human consumption. This is the corrupt organization that gave you fake vaccines. According to the makers, they grow a cell from an animal, and meat tastes like meat, chicken tastes like chicken. The come-on is they don’t have to kill animals. And, of course, the climate crisis… It sounds like processed food on steroids. Can you imagine what they might inject into it that we don’t want? Is it crazy to envision them one day mandating we eat it and banning most farms? Between this and the insects, we’re...

Genetically-altered pigs are now on the menu. The United States Food and Drug Administration has authorized gene-edited pigs entrance into the food chain for human consumption—as German-style sausages. Gene-editing can make changes in an organism’s DNA that could occur in nature or through selective breeding but would take much longer without a tool like CRISPR. The FDA authorization is investigational, and limited to these particular pigs, but shows that gene-editing livestock to quickly produce desirable traits for improved food production is a viable strategy for helping feed the planet’s growing population. “It’s important for a university to set the precedent...

One of the greatest frustrations I have is looking at prices at the meat counter. We’ve all seen the extremely high beef prices and wonder why pork hasn’t made a run on demand relative to value compared to beef. I was recently talking to a producer and his thought was if we have consumption of 50 pounds of pork per-capita at a retail value of $4 per pound, each individual in the U.S. could buy all their pork for $200 today. This is a real value relative to beef and a great buy for families trying to offset inflated food...

(Last Updated On: February 6, 2023) NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY On February 7th, National Fettuccine Alfredo Day celebrates one of the world’s favorite ways to enjoy a plate of fettuccine. #FettuccineAlfredoDay Fettuccine alfredo enjoys a history as rich as its flavor.

The birth of their first son depended on it. His recipe of noodles, cheese, and butter not only encouraged her to eat but she also...

BACON DAY On December 30th each year, bacon lovers celebrate one of nature’s favored gifts on Bacon Day! The day reminds us that bacon is not just for breakfast and encourages us to test out various ways to enjoy this culinary marvel. #BaconDay Everything is better with bacon, so someone said once. And our research shows very little to dispute this assertion. The United States and Canada make bacon from the pork belly. Other countries around the world use the side and back cuts of pork. The meat is cured in either a salt brine or a salt pack. It...

Greedy Democrats are spending money they do not have on the backs of the American taxpayers, who they treat like they are drunks in the middle of the night at an ATM machine.Shocking evidence has emerged from their insane, self-glorifying massive $1.7 trillion spending package of a suspicious provision that involves radical Marxist Michelle Obama, who is married to another radical Marxist, former POTUS Barack Obama.“In the legislation lies $3.6 million to fund the Michelle Obama Trail—PATH Trail Project,” Carmine Sabia reported for Conservative Brief, adding a slam by Freedom House Caucus member:“The Democrats’ reckless omnibus bill spends YOUR money...

My team and I are reading through the omnibus bill today - all $1.7 trillion and 4,155 pages of it. Follow along for some of the most egregious provisions in the bill.

Turkey, pork, and other Christmas day staples have all seen price spikes of around 20 per cent or more amid Britain’s inflation crisis. A traditional Christmas dinner is likely to be out of the financial reach of many this holiday season, with one trade union association reporting that the essential components of the meal have risen by over 20 per cent on average while wages have largely stagnated.
