This is a great idea - people waste so much time at work that if they only worked 6 hours they might get more done, and have a better quality of life, leading them to be more productive when they are there.

Great that there is no discrimination of any kind. Some of the smartest kids I know didn't do well in high school: "Holberton School is open to anyone who is between the ages of 18 and 128, whether or not they have obtained a grad

I've read a lot about these, as I often drive under one in Montana. They are a tremendous success!

Yes! It's exciting to see how animal rights is becoming the next big social justice movement.

People do vilify ranchers. There are tons of organizations that are fighting against animal farming, and it's a movement that is gaining a lot of traction. Like others have said, people just aren't talking about here since this ar

I agree - factory farming and even most "humane" farms are horrid. It would be better if we didn't eat meat (for our health, the environment, and ending world hunger). Then a smaller number of these animals could be pets or l

Ranchers are shitty too.

Living sentient creatures should be the benchmark for deserving humane and moral treatment - that way it includes both animals and humans. This was the view of The Hindus, Buddhist, and ancient pagans in Greece - they were onto something th

Check out the book The Sociopath Next Door - it talks about how there are so many sociopathic people today because societies used to conveniently do away with them. I'd guess this is similar to what the person is referring to.

Great point! According to research done on "Blue Zones," the healthiest community in the U.S. is a group of Seventh Day Adventists who are vegetarian. It would be so interesting to see what their diet has in common with vegetarian

I'd argue that the health impact of eating meat, especially when it's shot through with antibiotics and hormones and contains the pain of the suffering animal, is bigger than eating organic tomatoes with a tiny bit of sugar.

There is a chart in this article that shows how significantly lab-grown meat decreases water use compared to meat from cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. And this is referring to a process that is in very early stages! http://www.w

I know exactly what you mean. This no carb thing is a crazy fad! Many people don't seem to understand the difference between good carbs like many whole grains, and bad carbs like refined white flour. We shouldn't classify all carb

You are missing the point on what I said - the China study was about plant-based diets. And all of the Blue Zone diets do not include meat - I can think of the Seventh Day Adventists that were studied just as one example. While you are corr

There are a number of preserves for farm animals, and many people have pigs, chickens, goats, and cows simply as pets. The number of these animals in existence will decrease, but they will still be around, just happy and healthier. We don&#

I'm really interested in trying it. I'm familiar with fake meat products like Smart Dogs and the fake chicken nuggets - put ketchup on those and you can't tell the difference. There also a soy-based taco "meat," I b

Look up the "China study" for an incredibly detailed study on plant-based diets, or the research that's been done on the "Blue Zones." In addition there have been quite a number of studies on diet that show people w

Those are two entirely different things. This type of fake meat is plant-based. Trans fats are highly uncommon in nature, and the hydrogenation process used to create them is completely different from what goes into making fake meats.

The only supplement required on a vegan diet is B12. Vegetarians don't even need that. The key is to eat a variety of plant-based foods, like our ancestors often did, rather than a lot of junk food. Doing that, studies show that plant-

This is fabulous news! Great for animals, good for the environment, good for world hunger, and good for people's health and well-being.
