Brown is the CEO of Beyond Meat a four-year-old company that manufactures a meat substitute made mainly from soy and pea proteins and amaranth.

Each serving has about the same amount of protein as an equivalent portion of chicken but with zero cholesterol or saturated and trans fats.

when there s not enough animal protein to go around. The United nations expects the global population to grow from the current 7. 2 billion to 9. 6 billion by 2050.

That process along with the methane the cows belch throughout their lives contributes as much as 51 percent of all greenhouse gas produced in the world.

Nutritionally meat is a good source of protein iron and Vitamin b12 but Barnard says those nutrients are easily available from other sources that aren t also heavy in saturated fats.

âÂ#Âoefor the millennia of our sojourn On earth we have been getting more than enough protein from entirely plant-based sources.

The cow gets its protein that way and simply rearranges it into muscle. People say âÂ# Gee

if I don t eat muscle where will I get protein? You get it from the same place the cow got it.

âÂ# To Barnard the simple conclusion is that everyone should stick to eating plants

or chemical adjustment that would bring about a solution. They just had to experiment. âÂ#Âoeyou have to have the right ingredients the right temperature the right hardwareã¢Â# Huff says.

For one Pearsons suggested that excessive amounts of Vitamin d may bolster the body against measles. There is no evidence to support that.

and kids to take three times as much Vitamin d as their recommended daily allowance. The concerns we have had are primarily with very young children who have family history of autism

In addition to urging them to get vaccinated Pearsons told her congregation to take excessive amounts of Vitamin d.

I also strongly recommend taking Vitamin d at 1000 units a day for young children and 2000 units a day for older children and adults ongoing.

First Vitamin d does not protect against measles. Second that's about three times as much Vitamin d as kids and adults need.

For kids younger than 7 months 1000 international units is actually the upper recommended daily limit for Vitamin d intake.

And babies don't just get Vitamin d from supplements. They also get some through breast milk formula

and exposure to the sun so infants taking 1000 units'worth of Vitamin d supplements a day could easily exceed their daily limits.

(Other children's upper daily limits are higher depending on their age culminating in 4000 international units for kids and adults age nine and older.

-and kid-specific effects of ingesting too much Vitamin d but here's how it impacts adults.

Most studies found that adults ingesting at least 10000 international units of Vitamin d a day have increased an risk symptoms such as weight loss excessive urine production heart arrhythmias and damage to the heart

Some studies suggest people can damage their health by regularly ingesting 5000 international units of Vitamin d a day.

and then suggested taking 1000 mg to 2000 mg of Vitamin d to boost the immune system in addition to vaccinations.

A lot of current research indicates that Vitamin d improves immune response and nothing shows that 2000 mg is anywhere close to a toxic or unhealthy amount.

and proteins that the industry will use for activation once the FDA lifts this ridiculous time limit.

Thus this is a modern enlightened liberal congregation of feel-good back-to-the-Earthmother vegan hippies who are not vaccinating their children with the wicked chemicals of the modern world.

lack of fruits and vegetables and thus a lack of Vitamin c in particular was thought the main factor.

There are also some pretty convincing signs that the'excess'carbon is SURFACE carbon not from fossil fuels.

but if you look at carbon 14 in the atmosphere prior to extensive nuclear test you'd expect the percentage to drop as fossil carbon (without 14c) is introduced into the atmosphere

People and livestock (pigs chickens cows) are the most likely source of the majority of the carbon increase.

After seeing the BBC's report this week that Philippine scientists are close to submitting golden rice rice engineered to make Vitamin a for regulatory approval

or squash gene for Vitamin a in rice is to them a sinister act. For countless generations civilization has used selective breeding

It does nothing or very little for the supply of the body with Vitamin a. The reasons are firstly that the body needs additional fat in the diet to absorb vitam A

and secondly that the quantity of rice an average young child has to eat to get its daily dosis of Vitamin a is about 300-400g.

An adult would need to double that dosis at least. The reason for the malnutrition is the lack of fat in the diet.

in order to avoid being sued by corporations like Monsanto in case of accidental seed distribution. They made the law

because about 11 farmers a year get sued for this reason in the United states. There's no need to point at one case since Monsanto won every case.

Farmers who have sued Monsanto back have been defeated soundly. More sources on this documentation: http://thinkprogress. org/health/2012/11/21/1224761/farmers-insurance-sued-by-corporations/Monsanto claims not to sue farmers who have been cross pollinated by their neighbor's crops

but every year they sue and are paid when that trace amount becomes questionable. They claim they don't

Monsanto website states this: Can a farmer be sued when a small amount of GM crop seed blows into a neighbor s fields?

It has never been nor will it be Monsanto policy to exercise its patent rights where trace amounts of our patented traits are present in farmers fields as a result of inadvertent means.

Instead the burden of proof is on Monsanto to investigate the legitimacy of these claims and to resolve the issue as quickly

Golden rice which is modified genetically to produce Vitamin a has had a tortuous journey from lab to field.

Soon after its invention media reports billed it as a savior for kids in developing countries suffering from Vitamin a deficiency the number-one cause of preventable blindness in children worldwide.

Opponents also say there are better ways of relieving Vitamin a deficiency such as encouraging farmers to grow

and other staples have reduced already dramatically Vitamin a deficiency in the country. Philippine governmental authorities will evaluate the rice's food safety feed safety environmental safety safety to humans safety to animals all these are considered Antonio Alfonso the lead scientist for the Philippine Rice Research

Monsanto does exactly that and it is a huge cause of farmer bancruptcy in the third world

and one of the main reasons Monsanto is considered to be among the most unscrupulous corporations in the world.

golden rice doesn't produce Vitamin a it produces beta carotene (think carrots or Guernsey milk) which yields Vitamin a when it is consumed.

And yes cross-pollination with other plants has unknown consequences. You get different strains of plants.

and 19 million pregnant women in 122 countries were estimated to be affected by Vitamin a deficiency in 2005.

The collapse of the North american biosphere. would it be too much to presume for me to see the hand of Monsanto in this;

âÂ# The article says that Vitamin a deficiency can be cured by growing say yellow vegetables

âÂ# Note that the article declares Vitamin a deficiency âÂ#Âoethe number-one cause of preventable blindness in children worldwideã¢Â#Â

. But that doesn't mean the populations out there are suffering Vitamin a deficiency! The scam of the unspoken connection.

Just because Vitamin a deficiency is so dangerous doesn't mean it's widespread or even existent!

After all how many populations anywhere have populations as widely blind as the statements on unanswered Vitamin a deficiency is intended to suggest?

Also Vitamin a like all nutrients is a powerful poison if present in too high amounts!

To have golden rice as prominent a part of diets in the East as suggested can lead to literal Vitamin a poisoning.

Profit-mongering chemical corporations and profit-hungry farmers already have too much control over the industrial food-supply.

Forests full of trees that consume carbon dioxide are a great bulwark against the gas most responsible for global climate change.

Key to this process is carbon sequestration. Plants sequester some of the carbon dioxide they breathe in storing it in their branches

To turn deserts into a viable spot for carbon sequestration the researchers assembled a diverse team of specialists with knowledge ranging from irrigation and carbon sequestration to desalination and economics.

Short poisonous and hardy the Jatropha curcas tree can survive severe heat poor and alkaline soil and very low rainfall.

The paper suggests planting Jatropha curcas in the desert along the coast of the Arabian peninsula setting up a desalination plant to provide the water needed for irrigation

and then letting the plants start sequestering carbon and eventually producing biofuel. A potential unintended side-effect of such a project is a chance of increased cloud cover and rainfall.

it's out there combating climate change a few carbon emissions at a time. When beavers build a dam impeding the natural flow of water the river begins to overflow more often creating a sediment-rich wetland area known as a beaver meadow.

A new study from Colorado State university geology professor Ellen Wohl finds that these beaver meadows store carbon temporarily sequestering greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

With reductions in the beaver population we're missing out on a whole lot of potential carbon storage.

Wohl found that the abandoned beaver dams she studied made up around 8 percent of the carbon storage in the landscape

Squirreling away our carbon log by log. The study appears in Geophysical Research Letters. Science via Phys. org Considering we're at a critical carbon deficit right now it's about time to start wiping these pudgy menaces out for good!

I'm a little skeptical about this study. I have a hard time believing that cutting down trees

and burying them in water will have a net negative impact on the level of carbon in the area.

You're reducing a carbon sync AND anaerobic decomposition as you would get with buried plant matter would produce methane which is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

I suppose the new plant growth in the area previously covered by the river could offset that

but I'd bet there is a net increase of atmospheric carbon. Cute Beaver and interesting article too.

Critical carbon deficit? WTF are you talking about?@@Frosttty for most of the history of the world we have had significantly more atmospheric carbon than we do now.

Most of it has already been buried. Atmospheric carbon has been falling since the late Jurassic when it was about 2500 ppm vs today's 400 ppm.

Considering the climate stabilizing properties of greenhouse gasses and the importance of CO2 to life On earth we need to do everything we can to prevent carbon sequestration

if we desire a healthy planet. As a retired Department of Environmental Quality Employee and an owner of timber land this is a stupid article on environmentalism gone crazy in past history.
