Whole Foods is better than Safeway (Oct 22 2003 17:38 GMT) - Dave Noisy reports that grocery/health food chain Whole Foods Market has adopted humane animal treatment standards, which, once you get the "until they're murdered for profit" part out of your head, makes a fair bit of sense. I mean, what's a place called "Whole Foods" doing chopping the bills off of ducks? While I'd love to see the chain become a fully vegetarian if not vegan business, this is a big step, and it'll hopefully motivate other grocery chains to adopt similar standards. Nothing's going to change overnight, so I'm happy to look at any "animal welfare" announcement as a great step on the path to fewer dead animals - if nothing else, the announcement will get some people thinking about how food animals are treated as a whole. |

Magic Stones became an unwitting agent of the bean when she sent in this story about coffee preventing colon cancer. There's a compound with far too many letters in it for this time of the morning, and it's in coffee, and probably only in coffee, and it might just reduce your risk of cancer of the near-butt. Now check this out: the researchers started their tests with human tissue, and the results were promising, so they moved on to animal tests. |

PFF in Time Magazine (Oct 22 2003 17:37 GMT) - See this week's Time magazine article, titled Ready, Set, Relax! Fed up with the fast track, people are banding together to find ways to slow things down. Here is an excerpt: "Frantic families equal fragile families." "That message stirred up parents in the Twin Cities suburb of Wayzata, Minn. |
