What Are Ag Gag Bills And Are They Still A Current Issue? Charles Horn • Contact: linkedin.com/in/charles-horn-762a911 • Book - Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals #CharlesHorn #Veganism #AwardWinningWriter Charles Horn is an award-winning and Emmy-nominated writer.Horn has authored Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals, a book examining justifications for eating meat and other animal products. The book argues for veganism. Why do we eat animals? Most of us think this question is absurd, but if pressed to answer we tend to provide one of a number of rationalizations.  For example: "Humans are omnivores."“Every living thing eats other living things.”"Animals don't possess human cognition."“Humans need to eat animals to live.” We've all heard these arguments before, and many others too. Maybe we've even used these arguments ourselves. But are they logically sound? Or is eating animals in fact a prejudice, involving a thought process similar to the thought process behind racism and sexism? How exactly could the subject of eating animals teach us anything about prejudice and human rights? And supposing humans actually did need to eat animals to stay healthy, what can logic tell us about how we should act in such a situation? In Meat Logic: Why Do We Eat Animals, it examines 31 categories of rationalizations for eating animals and puts them all to the test. Do our thoughts and actions stand up to rational scrutiny or not? And if our thought process is ever failing us, can this be illuminated? Reading this book, You may never think of food the same way again. Charles Horn was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, He has a Ph.D. from Princeton University and holds five degrees in engineering and mathematics. He has written for the wildly popular Robot Chicken, Star Wars, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.He also has a hit animated sitcom called Fugget About It.  He is also the author of • The Laugh Out Loud Guide: • That's Just Wrong!

This is an episode that every parent needs to hear for sure, but after listening through it multiple times (because yes, it's just that good) everyone needs to hear it!I talk with Alliesha today who is the owner of the Aquatics Academy, a swim school in South Jordan, Utah. Alliesha goes through how water has played a big part in her life, how her and her husband turned an old rec center into what is now known as The Academy/Aquatics Academy and how the very program she and her staff teach to kids, is the very thing that saved her own son's life.*Warning - During this episode, Alliesha explains two stories of children who found themselves in water without adult help, but were able to survive, thanks to Alliesha's method of survival float. This is a very raw and emotional part of the episode and can be very triggering to anyone who has lost a loved one to drowning. If you would like to skip through this, it begins at 28:32 - 32:28.If you can, I highly suggest listening through these stories as it does bring an awareness and urgency on the issue of helping kids learn to survival float/swim as soon as possible!*I'm so grateful to Alliesha for coming on and all she and her team is continuing to do to help so many families, including ours!Instagram: @aquatics.academyIf you would like to see the statistics on drowning that Alliesha mentioned in this episode, you can view those here:https://www.cdc.gov/drowning/facts/index.html Insta: @munchandminglepodcastE-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com

Hoy hablaremos sobre un tema que abarca tanto nuestra crianza como nuestro emprendimiento: la importancia de hacerlo en compañía.

The Reigning Champion Of Human Diets GlenMerzer • https://www.glenmerzer.com • Book – Food Is Climate #GlenMerzer#ClimateEmergency  #ClimateChange Glen Merzer is a playwright, screenwriter, and author of the book Food is Climate. Food Is Climate: A Response to Al Gore, Bill Gates, Paul Hawken, and the Conventional Narrative on Climate Change. The Climate Emergency threatens civilization. All life forms on the planet depend now on humanity to undo the harm it has done. Unfortunately, those who have been leading the charge to address climate change, such as Al Gore, have not been telling us the whole truth. They have continued to ignore its leading cause. Food Is Climate gives us hope that the crisis can be addressed--in a way that will improve human health--but only if there's a grassroots movement to do the right thing, because clearly politicians and even environmental organizations have refused to lead. Glen began his career as a stand-up comic in San Francisco before devoting himself to playwriting. He wrote for network television for many years before going into a career writing books that advocate the plant-exclusive diet. Glen's first novel, Off the Reservation, chronicles the journey of a vegan congressman from Bloomington, Indiana, who runs for president. Off the Reservation contains twenty bonus, delicious, low-fat vegan recipes by Joanna Samorow-Merzer. Three of Glen's plays have been published by Samuel French. His prize-winning works have entertained audiences Off-Broadway, at Regional Theatres, and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Glen co-author books include, Mad Cowboy No More Bull! The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss UnprocessedFood Over Medicine Better Than Vegan The Plant Advantage by Benji Kurtz. The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss The Happy Cow Cookbook Own Your Health To Contact Glen Merzer go to Glen Merzer https://www.glenmerzer.com Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

How do microplastics impact aquatic ecosystems? What can happen if an entire food web of aquatic organisms is exposed to microplastic contaminants?  Garth Covernton, a researcher who studies the interactions between microplastic pollution and aquatic ecology, joins the podcast today to enlighten us on these critical questions… Garth is a University of Toronto Arts and Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow working in the Rochman lab and the McMeans lab as part of the pELAstics project. Through his work, Garth is on a mission to “provide conservation managers and policymakers with the simplified frameworks required to protect aquatic ecosystems”. Join us now to learn about: The types of freshwater that Garth is conducting his research in.  What food webs are, and what they can tell us about microplastic contamination.  The most commonly used and produced polymers that contaminate aquatic systems. The mechanisms of analysis used to determine how microplastics move through different ecosystems.  Animals that are more at risk for ingesting microplastics.  Want to find out more about Garth and his research?

Connor Bevan, ASA's Inland Fisheries Policy Manager, talks with host Mike Leonard about improving aquatic invasive species (AIS) management and policy. AIS alter natural ecosystem, reduce biodiversity and degrade waterways. All of this amounts to impacts on fishing opportunities. ASA and several partners released a report recently with recommendations for improving prevention, eradication, control and mitigation of AIS. This is the first step in the process to combat AIS and improve fisheries. For more ways to get involved in sportfishing policy visit https://asafishing.org/

Offshore wind farms are a sustainable option for producing energy, but little is known about their effect on fish on aquatic invertebrates. In this episode, we talk to Arthur N.

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 3-17-23. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of March 20 and March 27, 2023. MUSIC – ~24 sec – Lyrics: “We are on a ship, a great big ship.  It takes all of us to take care of it.  And we can use the stars to navigate our trip.  We are riding on a ship.” “That's part of “On a Ship,” by Blacksburg, Va., musician Kat Mills.  It opens an episode about two recent international meetings on our planetary ship's ocean waters.  Have a listen for about 15 seconds to sounds of two ocean-going creatures—a Humpback Whale, and a Leach's Storm-Petrel—and see if you know what aspect of ocean biology was a key focus of the meetings.  And here's a hint: you've got this, if you've got a lot of different living things in the sea. SOUNDS  - ~17 sec If you guessed marine biodiversity, you're right!  According to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, biodiversity means, quote, “the variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life,” unquote.  In early March 2023, two international gatherings focused on biodiversity in marine waters, including in what's called the “high seas,” the waters and ocean floor areas that are more than 200 nautical miles from any nation's shores and are not under any single nation's jurisdiction.  According to the Marine Conservation Institute, the high seas cover about half of the Earth's surface, contain great biodiversity, and are among the least-protected areas on Earth. On March 2 and 3, the eighth Our Ocean Conference was held in Panama, with participants from government, business, and non-profits making voluntary commitments for $20 billion towards protecting marine areas, addressing marine pollution, helping indigenous coastal communities, and other objectives.  Since 2014, Our Ocean Conference participants have made over 1800 commitments worth over $100 billion.  Meanwhile, at a United Nations conference on March 4 in New York, a majority of the world's nations agreed on language for a so-called “High Seas Treaty,” in the works since 2004.  If ultimately ratified by individual countries, it would facilitate protected areas, fund marine conservation, provide guidelines for marine genetic resources, and provide capacity building and technology transfer to developing states. Both meetings are part of a worldwide effort called 30 by 30, that is, by 2030 to conserve and restore 30 percent of the world's land and oceans important for biodiversity, a target set at a U.N. biodiversity conference in Montreal in December 2022. Thanks to Kat Mills for permission to use “On a Ship”; to the National Park Service for the Humpback Whale sound; and to Lang Elliott for the Leach's Storm-Petrel sound, from the Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs.  We close with another musical selection whose title and tune may conjure up images of the oceans.  Here's about 15 seconds of “Driftage,” by Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand. MUSIC - ~17 sec – instrumental [start at about [5:14 and go to abrupt end at 5:30]. SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.  For more Virginia water sounds, music, or information, visit us online at virginiawaterradio.org, or call the Water Center at (540) 231-5624.  Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close this episode.  In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

How do contaminants such as microplastics impact marine ecosystems? What can we do to mitigate the harmful effects of these pollutants? In this episode, we discuss these questions through the lens of aquatic toxicology and analytical chemistry with Austin Gray. Austin is an Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech. Austin's research interests are centered around environmental toxicology – specifically analyzing how emerging contaminants may pose a risk to a variety of freshwater and marine organisms… In this episode, we unpack:36 The importance of utilizing ecological and physiological approaches to understanding the consequences of contaminants within aquatic ecosystems.  The interconnectedness of water pollution.  Where microplastics come from, and how they enter marine systems.  The types of water-dwelling organisms that are affected by microplastics, and what happens to them.  Austin has been conducting research since the age of 19, and since then, he has contributed much to his research field. What sets him apart from other biological scientists? Click play now to find out! You can follow along with Austin's work on Twitter by clicking here.
