That means the original grass or grain must be fed to a cow first and then the unused food value that remains in the blood of the calf after slaughter is available for meat production plus some additionally highly processed nutrients. 2) Amoral

The baseball league altered regulations to require that the grain in the bat not deviate from the original grain of the wood by more than 3 percent as well as adding minimum densities and weight-to-length ratios.
Black ink was added to the wood to make the grain easier to follow. It seems to be paying off.

Rice Puffs Explode From A Giant Cannon In a borrowed warehouse space in Brooklyn I witnessed last week the first test-firing of
what will soon be the heart of the Breakfast Cereal exhibit at the Museum of Food and Drink.
a grain-puffing cannon. This is how puffed cereals like Kix were made originally. An iron chamber is loaded with uncooked rice
and a dose of water then tightly sealed and heated with a gas burner to hundreds of degrees till the steam pressure inside the chamber mounts to 180 psi.
Then the chamber is opened abruptly--this is done by climbing on top of the pressurized rig and whacking its handle with a metal cudgel--and the door to the chamber opens in a loud puff of steam.
The water that had been inside the rice kernels evaporates in a flash instantaneously expanding to many times its original volume
and causing the structure of each grain to expand as well into a delicate puff Check out the photos from the event.

#USDA Aims To Grow White rice With All the Nutrients Of Brown Ricein Malaysia there grow four types of rice with more molybdenum a mineral that helps rice plants deal with acidic soil than any other rice On earth.
In other parts of world different varieties of rice are naturally richer in calcium potassium iron and other minerals people need.
At the U s. Department of agriculture scientists have tested 1643 types of rice from around the world to find the ones that are the most nutritious.
In the future the USDA hopes such knowledge will help breeders create rice varieties that may help with mineral deficiencies in developing countries where rice is a staple.
For one thing it would mean white rice could have the same nutrients that now only appear in brown rice
or in white rice that's enriched after the fact with minerals added to its surface.
Interestingly the USDA's plan is to help breeders grow rice with the minerals they want not to genetically engineer it.
Breeders create new varieties of rice the old-fashioned way by reproducing only the plants with the genes they want.
Pinson's lab's avoidance of genetically modified rice isn't about whether GMO foods are good
She simply doesn't have the facilities to genetically modify rice. In fact I don't think GMOS are a problem she says.
Most of the rice as well as the corn and wheat that Americans buy in grocery stores have benefitted from these non-engineering genetic techniques Pinson says.
That nice dry fluffy texture American rice has? That came from work done by researchers like Pinson.
You don't want to increase the calcium in rice for example only to decrease magnesium at the same time. So cooked rice texture which is controlled by one gene came first.
Then resistance to a fungus called blast. Mineral content is a farther frontier; Pinson guesses people won't see high-calcium or high-iron rice in supermarkets for another 20 or 30 years.
The idea of genetically enriching rice to deal with malnutrition has a notorious predecessor. In 1999 researchers invented the first variety of golden rice
which was engineered genetically to produce Vitamin a. It was supposed to help kids in developing countries who don't get enough of the nutrient.
It met with fierce opposition from groups ranging from Greenpeace to local groups where the rice was supposed to go.
Research on golden rice is still ongoing but with its setbacks it's progressed much slower than originally promised.
Unlike mineral-enriched rice golden rice cannot be bred as no varieties of rice produce Vitamin a on their own.
It's got to be engineered in. Pinson doesn't have a lot to say about golden rice besides that she would eat it.
She says her research group is sensitive to two major market forces: One rice appears in many American baby foods
and even those who don't normally buy organic often prefer organic baby food. GMO rice can't be bred organic
but rice even if it's bred using the genetic knowledge Pinson develops may still be grown organically.
Two roughly half of the rice the U s. grows is exported and many countries don't wish to import GMO foods.
Throughout life insist to only eat white rice and refuse the others with some odd belief they are eating something pure because of the white color.
For that reason I am glad to see the white rice become more nutritionally. Personally I enjoy trying all the various kinds of rice YUMMY!
I don't see what the big deal is over GMO foods. They don't seem drastically harmful.
In fact they hardly seem harmful at all but instead rather healthy. If they do turn out to be more harmful than good
and housed than most people worldwide who depend on rice for their dietary energy and mineral needs.
and you will quickly understand that this work by scientists to improve the nutritional value of rice is not for people who are advantaged enough to follow this media report online.
and harvest their own rice in order to eat enough calories a day to stay alive. Rice is a staple food for more than half the world's population.
People who eat rice for breakfast lunch and dinner rarely have the luxury of eating foods rich in Zinc (oysters beef crab lamb)
or foods rich in Copper (liver oysters lobster and chocolate Adding these minerals naturally by having the plant put them in the grains would improve the health of those persons in less-developed countries who are dependent on rice.
Without copper bones lose their strength and the minimal iron one is able to eat is absorbed not properly.
What a luxury this must seem to persons in poor countries where rice is a dietary staple.
These scientists are following God's plan by working to create a rice grain with improved nutrition t

would they creatively be more able to go completely against the grain? Similar to Paulagem's comment about anoxic brain damage subjecting the brain to an intense period of malnutrition might bring about a similar surge in creative output.
Other breweries such as Newcastle in the UK have been spent burning grain for fuel before but mixed with wood or other fuels;
Alaskan claims to be the first brewery with an energy system powered solely by spent grain.
What is spent grain exactly? We asked Beersci: When brewers make beer they crush and soak the barley kernels in hot water to extract a large percentage of the sugars found in them.

Of course all this change in grain size happens over a very short distance. The entire sheet of steel is only one millimeter thick.
Many things in the natural world also have microstructures that have a gradient of grain sizes from surface to center.
and farmers grow crops (such as rice) more appropriate to a wetland environment. Many residents water bills will remain disconnected from their actual usage eliminating any financial incentive to conserve until a new state law goes into effect in 2025.
But over the years by selection the animals changed and the cereals changed. The grains we use today have little resemblance to their ancestor seeds

Although ethanol derived from corn for example can more or less replace gasoline even the latter and more energetic fuel packs about 20 percent less punch per gallon than JP-10.
The aspiring plant bioengineer worked with a team of scientists to test how not getting enough water altered the quality of barley grains.
In a small pilot study the scientists found that the starches inside barley grains grown with too little water are different from starches found inside nicely-watered barley grains.
The dryness-stressed barley had longer-chain starch grains and more protein than normally grown barley.
If that affects the quality of different grains including the barley that goes into beer that means people will have to pay more for the same quality of beer Gous told the Brisbane Times.
If it pushes normal starch in the grain to the point that it becomes resistant starch the cost of producing your XXXX is going to increase he said.
Luckily Gous and his colleagues also found that a new variety of barley bred so that it has drought-resisting qualities originally discovered in sorghum resists changing its starches in response to not getting enough water.
The new barley is called stay-green barley. Varieties like this could help grain quality stay stable even in a more drought-prone world Gous told the Brisbane Times.
Indeed experts have long know that creating and growing new varieties of well-beloved crops is one of the many ways agriculture will have to adapt to climate change in the future u
To add to the environmental insults meat animals are fed about 1 billion metric tons a year of the same cereal grains that humans consume increasing the pressure on supplies of food and fresh water.
and around one-third of the world's grain supply worldwide the most important step may be feeding animals less human food.
Instead of feeding livestock grains like wheat corn and soybeans stress the researchers cows goats sheep
and straw and silage (a feed created from the entire cereal plant not just the grain).
We need to reduce the amount of imported soya and cereals into ruminant systems which is not sustainable.
For centuries residents of Guiyu s four villages had scratched out a living farming rice along the Lianjiang River.

#Research raises concerns about future global crop yieldsabout 30 percent of the major global cereal crops--rice wheat
and corn--may have reached their maximum possible yields in farmers'fields according to University of Nebraska-Lincoln research published this week in Nature Communications.
They studied past yield trends in countries with greatest cereal production and provide evidence against a projected scenario of continued linear crop yield increase.
or more of the major cereals in many of the most intensively cropped areas of the world including Eastern asia Europe
or stagnation in yield gain affects 33 percent of major rice-producing countries and 27 percent of major wheat-producing countries.
In China for example the increase in crop yields in wheat has remained constant and rate of corn yield increase has decreased by 64 percent for the period 2010-2011 relative to the years 2002-2003 despite a large increase in investment in agricultural research and development education and infrastructure
for both crops. This suggests that return on these investments is steadily declining in terms of impact on raising crop yields.
The authors report that sustaining further yield gain likely would require fine tuning of many different factors in the production of crops.
