Yes, I absolutely agree that it is better to do this than dropping half the chicks into a macerator. What is amazing to me, is that this is using MRI, which is a very expensive technology. Eg simple scans are very expensive for a consumer.

You realise of course that models can be wrong. The map is not the terrain. Models are not reality. The observations here are on models. If I knock up something in excel, and other people use that thinking it is how things are, but do no

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I get how these connections are meant to break down, though not to the detail you provided. It could be like you say, though I don't why the degradation wouldn't be concurrent - ie I don&

So, in your view, although the bag I see is breaking up into small brittle pieces, there are even smaller pieces that are not been degraded? Is that a theory to you, or do you have first hand knowledge? If I have understood your position c

You think I'm unfair in comparing a plastic bag to plastic packaging? If you follow this particular thread, they were talking about packaging.

You know, this is simply not true. I have found old buried plastic bags, from supermarkets - I remember the bag style from just a few years ago. The bags had severely degraded. When I tried to pick one up, it fell apart into small pieces,

Right, but that comment is not a study, it's just someone saying there's a study..... They might be wrong, mistaken, or whatever... Sorry if it seems churlish, but if you are after studies, that comment is not what you want.

Yes. I think government was acting immorally back then, far exceeding whatever people required and acting in support of powerful interests (petrol companies, industry). Now it is far, far worse, with government seeking a level of micro ma

But, they are closing roads making them one way etc, that creates the traffic problem. It's bad governance - creating pain to allow government to administer the preordained 'solution' - no cars! Moving to car less city is th

This study strikes me as promotional material with a science flavour. It helps foster the desire for fermented food, ie its a means to shift premium product off shelves. I fancy some kimchi or kefir myself, having read it! Unfortunately,

What I am saying that it is agreed that ultrasound does have an impact. The failure in the provision of evidence, is with those that claim it is safe. Its not for me to prove it is harmful. Ask yourself, how can a treatment that breaks kid

It depends on one's definition of "safe". Yes, smaller doses will have less of an impact. I'm simply stating that ultrasound does impact the body. Despite the innocuous sounding name referencing 'sound', it i
