Grade A Poultry

Since humans are just a form of animal, aren’t we being cannibalistic when we eat the meat of other animals?

HEALTH CONCERNS ABOUT MEAT
What’s the beef with meat? This question can be answered in two nutritional words: fat and cholesterol.

Too much fat. No matter how you slice it, meat is high in fat. Unlike milk, in which you can separate out part or all of the fat, you can never get rid of all the fat in meat, no matter how well you trim it. Even the lean parts are laced with fat. Extra lean select-grade beef contains around seven percent fat.

Wrong fat. Not only is there too much fat in meat, it’s the wrong kind. Nearly half the fat in meat is the artery-clogging, saturated type. And, of course, meat is also high in cholesterol. Beef fat is more saturated than poultry fat because the bacteria in the ruminant stomach of cattle hydrogenate, or saturate, the fats in the plants that cows eat. It’s like having a fat factory inside the food source.

Fat without fiber. Unlike meat, plant foods that are low in fat and high in fiber tend to pass through the intestines rapidly, causing less upset and fewer problems, such as gastroesophageal reflux. Meat has a double fault. It’s high in fat and contains no fiber, so it takes longer to empty from the stomach and pass through the intestines. While most people do not experience "indigestion" from meat, those who suffer from reflux should not eat much meat, as it may aggravate the problem.

Problems with protein. Not only are the fats in meat unhealthy, meat proteins have also recently come under fire. Recent evidence suggests that animal proteins increase blood cholesterol levels, while plant proteins, especially soy, decrease them. Meats contain high levels of the amino acid L-lysine, which increases insulin production, prompting the liver to release fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream. If L-lysine is experimentally added to animal diets, blood cholesterol levels increase by over fifty percent and the animals get plump. Studies show that substituting 30 grams of soy protein daily for a meat meal dramatically reduces cholesterol levels. So, the Japanese may have lower cholesterol levels than Americans, not only because they eat less meat, but also because they eat more soy. The quality of meat protein ranks below that of egg white, fish, and dairy products.

You’re an animal. I’m a human being. There’s a difference. One has a guilty conscience, a sense of guilt, shame and self-awareness as well as the ability to reason and make an arguement driven by evidence and rationality, whereas the other doesn’t. I’m sure you’ll be able to figure this riddle out.

I am sure many of you know your stuff but this was helpful for me so I thought I would share.

Now for my question….Which of the B’s or better is affordable? What do you feed your dogs? Do you feed your diff. breeds diff. food?
Thanks.
I have only heard great things about blue buffalo…

I feed raw, so my dog’s food is probably rated 200! Raw is THE BEST.

Not all of the foods were letter graded, so I can’t say what the best "B" food is…but I think the best food overall is Taste Of The Wild!

Is this food okay for my cat?

I’m not looking for /great/, I’m not even looking for good- is this food simply okay for my cat?

chicken (> 26 %), maize, sorghum millet meal, cellulose powder, dried sugar beet pulp, animal fat, dried whole egg, poultry protein hydrolyzate, fish meal, potassium chloride, beer yeast, dl-methionine, salt.

(> means greater than, so it’s at least 26% real, human grade chicken.)

You cannot possibly be serious.

How in the world you could be a top contributor to this section and ask a question like that is beyond me.

Using your logic any food is okay for your cat then isn’t it? It’s obvious that you don’t give a crap about your cat or it’s health so why bother even asking?

What type of answer would you like to receive from all of the rest of us whose only joy in life is having happy and healthy cats?

If you’re so set on the ‘human grade chicken’ aspect of your ingredient list, then you eat it, keep it away from your cat.

Well here is my advice, if you don’t give any sort of crap about your cat please give it to someone who does. Someone who knows that dry food is awful for cats and that a high protein very low carb canned food is the best possible diet for it if you cannot feed raw.

You cannot even imagine the health risks you are taking with your cat. I just hope that you are putting aside all the money you are ‘saving’ by getting cheap worthless cat food because you are going to need it when your cat develops diabetes, chronic renal failure, inflammatory bowel syndrome or any number of other problems, you will need that money you saved and a whole lot more in order to pay the vet bills.

I still can’t believe you are a top contributor. What do you do just go around and leave useless answers to peoples questions?

Un freaking believable.

Neptune Northern Disinfecting System – Canopy / Poultry IV

Neptune Northern Disinfecting System can be designed with various spray nozzle configuration to deliver an all over mist or a more concentrated focused spray depending on the application and the consistency of the size of the vehicles using the system.

Neptune Northern recommends the use of a series of non-corrosive disinfectant that degrades to ordinary table salt. That limits the damage to the vehicles and limits concerns about the drift of the disinfectant.

The disinfectant can be captured and discharged to a small detention pond and allowed to dissipate, or in small quantities, simply allowed to pool on the ground and allowed to evaporate.

Neptune Northern system is set on a flat grade and uses small integrated ramps to make the transition from the road to the wash platform.

Neptune Northern system requires a minimum of installation.

Neptune Northern system is designed to operate on 110 or 240 single phase power.

Am I doing enough enrichment activities?

I’m in lower sixth in England and want to be a vet. I have taken Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics and am predicted to get As in both AS and A2 year. For enrichment I play the trumpet, am taking Grade 8 in February (which will give me 65-80 UCAS points depending upon the grade), play in Brass Group and Windband, and I sing in the Senior Choir. For veterinary work I have done work experience at a friends farm (cows and sheep), and I am set to go back there in calving and lambing time. I have also got one week’s work experience (finally!!!) at the local vets, and I live on a smallholding, which has poultry and until recently sheep.

I had my Progress Couch meeting today and she told me that I wasn’t doing enough enrichment. She told me that I need to do more buddying, paired reading or in-class support. Another answer is Vet Med-link, but this costs over £200 and that’s without travelling to Nottingham on my OWN (its about 3 hours away by train). However, I feel that if I do any more I will jeopardise the results that I am supposed to get, and then I will have no chance of becoming a vet. Are there any vets out there who can offer advice or does any one know much about enrichment?

Thanks

Omg your progress couch is chatting absolute bullocks about how you’re not doing enough enrichment does she want you to flunk your grades or something? I think you are doing more than enough to be honest, my older friend (in uni at present) wanted to be a GP so she took the same subjects that you took and she didn’t do any enrichment activities at all and she still managed to get one of those fancy scholarship things to get all expenses paid at uni.

Ignore her judgement and get on with your studies if you do any more "enrichment activities" your grades will get lower, you’re doing more than enough at the moment.

Should I be a teacher when I grow up?

I’m 13, and I already pretty much planned my whole life out for me. (My dad says I’m too preoccupied)
1) I want to go to either Stanford or UCLA and get some kind of degree in acting.
2) I want to get married and have a daughter who shall eat the exact daily amount of fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, and eggs that is correct for her age.
3) I would LOVE to be a teacher, but one thing that really annoys me is the pay. If I were to teach 6th grade at a public school about what would the pay be? An Academy? A private school? A charter school? And would it cover the average cost of living? I would love to be a teacher, but the pay is the only thing that bothers me. thank you for answering.

Yea well they pay ok, granted its not for higher middle class, but they average about the same amount as police officers a year, and way more then a fire-fighter. But what i hear alot, is that you should do something you like, not for many, bcuz if you do it for money, you’ll dread havin’ to go to work everyday, but you do it bcuz if you dont go you loose a lot of money…
