| From Sea to CAFO? Chickens, Pigs Eat Anchovies |

We know that livestock raised at the industrial scale are often fed strange stuff, like antibiotic-laced grain and animal byproducts. But news that poultry and hogs raised in confined operations are fed 17 percent of the wild fish caught each year (seriously) raises eyebrows for other reasons, like the indisputable fact that some fish populations are severly depleted. (The same argument could be made for the nonrenwable rate at which we use topsoil growing grain for animals, but that's another post.) According to a guest columnist in Grist: Each year we feed 14 million tons of wild-caught fish (including anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and herring) to pigs and chickens around the globe...Pigs and chickens eat double the amount of fish that Japan consumes annually and six times more seafood than the entire U.S. population eats each year. Protein is an important part of any diet and often comes at a high premium. Except, perhaps, when derived from a factory farm. Source: Grist

I love your set of sites, so, here's a suggestion: provide your readers with a contact email address for technical problems. For instance, right now, your ecogeek site is off line because it hangs while waiting for something called ad.afy11.net. Also, although you took the "wearing the future" link off your main site, it's still present and broken on all your other sites, including this one. There really should be a better way to get complaints or notifications to the webmaster, than to post them as comments to articles on the blog. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Ok, so I just returned my Chi flat iron, because frankly it sucks. IT didnt get hot enough and it didnt straighten my normal slightly wavy hair. Also it felt soo cheap. Well, i was at the mall today, and this guy from the kioski was trying to sell me this straightener called the AMIKA flat iron that retailed 250 or something like that. It worked really well, and straightened great, but i noticed that the heat only went up to 200 degrees. IT got really hot when i tried it on my head, but that was a shocker because the CHI says it goes up to 370, and it wasnt even as hot as the amika. Well, anyway, the guy said i could have the iron for 100 bucks with a shine serum and a hot iron stand for free. I only paid 75 for my chi, and I didnt really want to pay more than that for its replacement, but i would if it was worth it

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
