The meat industry is plain fucking evil
Our boyfriend Philapotamus is over at Grist talking about how the meat industry turned abuse into a business model. It’s a pretty solid piece and a quick read so why don’t you go over there and tell him what a good job he did and also, remind him to buy almond milk on his way home and oh yeah, to give up being a hypocrite and STOP EATING DEAD ANIMALS. And then apologize for our...

Hello, friends! It's WTF Wednesday!
Are you watching as much reality T.V. as I am? I’m watching more trashy television than I ever have. Before you get worried, it is important to realize that I am categorically NOT watching anything that involves the Kardashians. That is strictly Allen territory. Allen and Ernie territory, actually. For anyone not familiar (which would be everyone), Ernie is what my father likes to call...

What do to with a murdered goose: eat it!...
New York City is set to kill a bunch of geese, again. This year, however, instead of gassing them and throwing their bodies in a landfill, NYC made a deal with a Pennsylvania slaughterhouse to truck the geese there, where they’ll be killed, processed, and sent to Pennsylvania food banks.
According to the New York Times, “much of the outcry” came from not anger at killing the...

Now on Etsy: cat fur jewelry!
First came dog-fur knitting; now this:

“Davis has spent a while perfecting the technique of making perfect fur spheres. She starts by taking a small handful of fluff, which she molds into a starter ball. To this she adds more...

Guest recipe: raw kelp noodles with spirulina
Kelp noodles are a fabulous thing; they soak up all the sauces you put on them, are low density, and taste awesome. Enjoy this cheese-like flavor combination of spirulina and olive oil: It’s an algae party in your mouth and tummy! My friend is a Spirulina Junkie living in Arizona. In order to feel less like I miss her, I make tons of spirulina kelp pasta. This recipe is a great way to get into the...

Zoo chimps not enjoying their gilded cage
A new study from the University of Kent’s School of Anthropology and Conservation is saying zoo environments may cause behavior indicative of mental illness in chimpanzees. That’s kind of a lot of run around, I know, but they really aren’t pulling any punches:
Some abnormal behaviours persist despite interventions to ‘naturalise’ the captive conditions and we suggest that...

The ocean is totally screwed
If you haven’t been paying attention, listen up: the ocean is effed. The International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) brought together a team of scientists from different disciplines to discuss the “multiple stresses” affecting marine life. Normally, scientists only look at the problems in their field of expertise; when examining all the problems facing the ocean in...

Product review: Nacho Mama's Vodoo Queso
On my quest to try every vegan queso created, I stumbled across Nacho Mama’s, based in Austin, Texas. Creator and chef Alana was gracious enough to send me two jars of her new Voodoo Queso to sample (and then review)! It’s SO TASTY AND DELICIOUS OMG YOU GUYS, GET SOME. The first jar did not last long—I ate more that half of it, straight from the jar, the night of their arrival....
WatchOn Monday’s Colbert Report, threat number three on the Threatdown was Moo Shu Man-Milk, otherwise known as “human breast milk from genetically modified cows in China.” Guess it’s not enough to force cows to produce their own milk every day of their adult lives until they’re no longer physically able to; now they have to produce someone else’ milk.
