Plant-based cheese from @ClimaxFoods (can confirm is excellent but not yet widely available) almost won against dairy in a prestigious food contest that considers taste & environmental/social responsibility, dairy farmers got mad & Climax was kicked out🤡 washingtonpost.com/food/2024/04/2…
It's bad that there's bird flu in milk, but not because you'll get sick right now. It's bad because our government sucks at surveilling disease and making data public ahead of time. vox.com/future-perfect…
The US Department of Agriculture should've marshaled a vigorous and transparent response to bird flu infecting dairy cows. Instead, it's been tepid and opaque. vox.com/future-perfect…
Bird flu in milk is alarming — but not for the reason you think trib.al/QhlMsCr
Via @YLindaQiu: Some poultry producers are experimenting with nonlethal ways to scare off wild birds in an attempt to prevent bird flu spread. Would be good for poultry co's/USDA to fund research into their effectiveness and fund deployment if they work.nytimes.com/2024/04/20/us/…
USDA’s Wildlife Services killed 1.45 million animals last year: 375k native animals in a biodiversity crisis. It’s time to rethink the USDA’s — and the meat industry’s — license to wage war on wildlife Thx @KennyTorrella for speaking to @CenterForBioDiv vox.com/future-perfect…

It is🌏 Day, & one of the best things you can do for the planet & our fellow creatures is go plant-based. I wrote this bc I constantly encounter the idea that veganism just subtracts things from our lives. I hope it inspires someone to see it differently🌱 vox.com/climate/241312…
Veganism doesn't have to be about restriction. It can be about abundance, connection, a shared joy between humans, animals, and land. @mbolotnikova's illustrated essay from @voxdotcom's Home Planet package does just that. vox.com/climate/241312…
I spent several weeks this spring meeting people in NYC who have filled their apartments with pests — pigeons, squirrels, opossums. Even rats. They are an odd bunch. They also have something valuable to teach us. Meet the rehabbers of NYC: vox.com/climate/241125…

In a popular new regenerative farming documentary, @sixinchessoil, viewers are told a cattle farm is carbon-neutral. @GeorgeMonbiot inquired, and turned out it was actually just modeling, and filmmakers edited that bit out. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I've spent a lot of the last six months working on this story about reports of abuse at one of the country's most-esteemed, certified-humane dairy farms. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Do not worry folks, ADM is also leading a $90 million climate smart partnership which centers around ineffective climate mitigation practices like “cover crops, reduced tillage and nutrient management”.
Decatur is home to the largest agricultural facility source of CO2 emissions in the US—ADM’s ethanol plant Now taxpayers are giving ADM $281 MILLION to “capture” & store CO2 underground. But the plant only captures about 10% of its emissions. news.oilandgaswatch.org/post/in-illino…

.@USDA's new rules about shipping lactating dairy cows across state lines to stop spread of #H5N1 #birdflu go into effect Monday. But they're more limited than initially revealed & there are concerns about how effective they will be, @MeganMolteni reports. statnews.com/2024/04/26/h5n…
.@US_FDA has more evidence pasteurization kills #H5N1 #birdflu virus in milk, saying it was unable to grow virus from some PCR-positive samples. Doesn't say how many samples it's tried yet, though. Testing infant formula did not show evidence of H5. fda.gov/food/alerts-ad…
@KennyTorrella So grateful for this reporting. It’s such a huge problem in the uk and Europe too. The link between the destruction of wildlife and big ag needs to be spoken about a lot more imo. Great job 👏
USDA's Wildlife Services kills millions of wild animals to benefit Big Ag. Just last year, 1.45 million animals — including 375K native animals — were killed & your tax dollars fund it. It's time to stop the meat industry’s war on wildlife. More info⤵️ biodiv.us/3Jxp11I
NEW: Last fall, an LA-area student sued her school district for a) not letting her get soy milk without a doctor's note and b) not letting her promote plant-based milks to her classmates The lawsuit settled, but the debate about dairy in schools rages on. ambrook.com/research/legis…
Another team of scientists conclude the genetic sequences from the cows infected with #H5N1 #birdflu point to a single introduction of the virus into cows from wild birds, and then spread from herd to herd.
Due to enormous and collaborative effort from the @nextstrain team, @hamesjadfield @trvrb and of course @USDA , we now have the USDA cattle sequences on Nextstrain: nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h5n1… visualized with new, 2-year builds.
This I find curious: The milk data and the genetic sequence data suggest the #H5N1 #birdflu outbreaks in cows are far more widespread than has been recognized. And yet the last time @USDA confirmed a new outbreak was 4/19. How much testing is going on?aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…
2. Minnesota hasn't reported #H5N1 #birdflu in cattle, but it has had at least 1 poultry outbreak with the cattle virus, @USDA reveals. More evidence, probably, that the virus is far more widely spread than has been realized. The FAQ is here: aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/…
Have you been buying specialty pet food because of labels ensuring you the animals killed to make it were “humanely raised” or “free run” or “pasture raised?”We investigated what these claims actually mean (and don’t):
We investigated the animal welfare claims on Open Farm’s pet food labels and found they don’t live up to the hype. @JessLReid reports: sentientmedia.org/certified-huma…
Another piece of evidence of what the stewards of the land narrative, centuries of extractive agricultural practices and decades of voluntary conservation policies have wrought.
It's bad that there's bird flu in milk, but not because you'll get sick right now. It's bad because our government sucks at surveilling disease and making data public ahead of time. vox.com/future-perfect…
A quick update: Academics who went looking for genetic traces of H5N1 in store-bought milk from 10 US states found it in nearly 40% of samples. FDA's own investigation, which aims to be a "large representative national sample," has found evidence of H5N1 in 20% of milk products.
The discovery of #H5N1 #birdflu in a significant portion of commercially purchased milk suggests the outbreak in cows is much larger than we know, scientists who've been doing this work tell @MeganMolteni. statnews.com/2024/04/25/h5n…
This is exciting news. The vast majority of this area is public land and the bears will be slowly introduced and closely monitored as individuals. Rewild grizzlies to California next!
The @NatlParkService and @USFWS have announced a decision to actively restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades, where they roamed until nearly hunted to extinction in the area during the 20th century. News release: nps.gov/noca/learn/new… (1/4)
