To things friends have in common theyre all free of Animal Products the number of vegetarians is growing around the globe most of them are now asia almost twenty percent of the population. There motivation is a very good animal welfare. Concerns about the environment. All religion and more and more people are choosing a meat free diet but some say meat tastes too good to give up biotechnology is coming to their aid food this is the beef burger and this is the animal behind that the further it is still alive how does that work cost of Maastricht University cooked up the idea he has pioneered clean or cultured meat The Real Thing but mine is the butchery. I think says he thinks that one day we may look
back in disbelief at these barbaric times when we slaughtered animals for food. In the lab in maastricht they have been working since the one Nine Hundred Ninety s. On growing Muscle Tissue the main component of meat from stem cells mark past is the driving force behind the research. In twenty thirteen presented his first In Vitro Hamburger it was made of pure beef grown from bovine stem cell at a cost of a quarter of a Million Euros the few who got to taste it concluded that it was indeed like a pretty Run Of The Mill burger. In the early days still took stem cells from Slaughter Cattle out of one tiny chunk of meat ten thousand kilograms could in theory be grown. Stem cells
cultured meat has advantages over natural beef heads of cattle do not have to roll and cultured meat is free of unwanted material like Sinews Gristle and facia and it comes without hair or bones. The meat is also free of bacteria and of the antibiotics and other chemicals often found in wheat from nonorganic Lee Grown Cattle nowadays post only takes tiny samples of muscle from living animals to extract the stem cells but there is another problem. The medium in which stem cells are grown contains Fetal Bovine Serum taken from the blood of cow fetuses both they and their mother colleagues have to be slaughtered. Passed is working on an Alternative Culture Medium that does not involve killing any animals. Substances found an audi look promising. Production costs have come down a lot one of Pos Synthetic Burgers would now cost about ten euros if it were on sale but only if the Lab Grown Meat were mass produced in quantities comparable to regular ground beef today so scaling up is key for the researchers but thats still a long way off and there are several companies now working on cultured meat in the United States there is memphis meats a start up in san francisco. Eric should say is on the team of scientists developing technology to grow clean meat and large bio reactors. He says it may sound weird but it is in fact an entirely natural process we just dont need a cow for it. Its just one bad full could yield Forty Thousand portions at memphis meets a Baby Meat Ball still costs sixth out. Thousand dollars so they have some way to

And some insects have a type of blood thats Yellowish The Ladybug for example it emits smelly human lymph when its attacked as im not just warning. Hundreds said that the blood of this bug the Coaching Male is used to color lipstick but thats not quite true and the Pigment Kamin is indeed made from dried but not from their blood instead come any acid which the insect emits to fend off predators is what creates the ruby red color.

going through life with a bit more. Makes a bit easier to go through this morning i woke up i meditated i went to the sauna this is something i do quite consistently and then of course i took a micro i was like you know my critics sing psychedelic drugs is becoming increasingly popular and austin has set himself up as a Mike Criticizing coach for him its about integrating Psychedelics Into Mainstream Culture he says theres a tremendous upside to responsible psychedelic use he talked about this is a conference in switzerland where there were a number of fellow supporters. Ive tried it its wonderful mr is right to tell you like the idea but more for fun than to become say a more efficient. If you guys. I work with my mind so i would very much like to try it. Near enhancement is

Quite now is a psychopharmacologist he says the intervening twin haunts one function comes at a price because the brain is a vastly complex network of networks that Story System Military and responds to interventions by countering them when you so understand i take such a substance the desired results are often offset by ones i dont want my motivation in alertness might be enhanced but other cognitive capacities will be diminished. One way side. The tropic drugs is by intervening in the flow of neurotransmitters sometimes increasing their numbers so activating that receptus. Neurotransmitters carry messages from one nerve cell to the next in the brain and throughout the body. A number of socalled neuro enhances

The message is messing with the brain is a Risky Business if you want a little stimulation without too many side effects a nice cup of coffee might be just right. Coffee might give you a buzz but fresh fruit and vege are probably the key to physical well being out of substances manhunts our mental state as we saw we asked on facebook if you take pills to boost your mental capability. Come in or rodriguez says its a very tempting question but she asks what the cost of boosting brainpower might be. Mighty dont come to zip is not convinced she distrusts brain pills and says
theyre just placebos intended to generate money for the pharmaceutical industry. So our one seems to be ok with taking neuro enhancing drugs but only when he has an exam found on clinical points out of these substances will not miraculously improve intelligence she recommends natural products. And omaha he says pretty even if such drugs are legal you should First Consult a doctor before taking up. Thanks to all of you for writing and keep those answers coming. And now we move on to another drug one that is commonly not taken in my critters. In many parts of the world alcohol is considered a legal high with a long tradition of wine for example has been cultivated for fuzzys of years. For doc other drugs alcohol has side effects had Alcohol Abuse takes quite a toll on the body. Cant. Move. Afterward some people treat themselves to a beer its relaxing but how exactly does it affect our bodies. After being swallowed alcohol rapidly enters the bloodstream most of it by the small intestine. Its then transported throughout the body and inhibits the absorption of nutrients. Within minutes the alcohol reaches the liver which begins to metabolize it unfortunately the byproduct of this process is more toxic than alcohol itself. In the brain alcohol disturbs the balance between inhibition and excitation it also
jacks up the release of feel good hormones like Dopamine Serotonin and endorphins so it first drink is typically become more talkative and outgoing the problem begins when the drinking doesnt stop. The liver can only process one unit of alcohol an hour alcohol its toxic by products damage cells throughout the body. It results in inflammation of the a suffocates and stomach and too much drinking can damage d. N. A. In cells making drinkers more susceptible to various kinds of cancers. While the alcohol is being toxified in the Liver Fatty Globules accumulate there replacing healthy tissue chronic excessive drinking leads to whats called a fatty liver in this Condition Liver Function progressively declines at this stage
every drink poses a health risk. Alcohol abuse damages and even kills off nerve cells in the brain in some cases leading to memory loss and Cognitive Impairment meanwhile the liver damage gets worse and worse scars form as cells are being destroyed by continued drinking the final stage Liver Cirrhosis Drinkers dont feel the slowly progressing disease even if they do sleep off the short term effects. And the impact of chronic Alcohol Abuse can involve social as well as physical problems. Cutting back on alcohol or giving it a mall together its a good idea then if youre lucky your body will start recovering quickly if the damage isnt too advanced fatty liver can regenerate within weeks and inflammation can subside if you stick to a Healthy Lifestyle but thats no reason to celebrate there will always be
a residual impact it may take years for your cancer risk to be reversed if at all. Just a day with another kind of substance abuse. Looking at these images you might think wait. Well yes that. Were going to look at quite a different kind of wheat. The kind you dont want a new field and this was super weeds which of Development Assistance to have a site one culprit is slender foxtail or black cross its proven a nightmare. This is weed control the easy way Blanket Spraying Fields with herbicides for twenty years thats been an integral part of the job for a Farmer Function to it but using all those chemicals has come at
a price the emergence of another unwelcome invader a super weed that powering over his prized wheat. This is black grass the main problem is that its spreading like and that can rapidly mean a loss of income of over fifty percent. Of course there are Short Term Solutions in the form of herbicides from the Agro Chemical giants but even they can no longer eliminate black grass for good its now spreading like a plague. You can see they grow. Every month and if you have three or four hundred of dispersed where meters theres no room for the displaced grown ups. As will probably be the case here soon. Together with you theyre born a month from the regional Farming AuthorityFrank Stewart has been documenting the
onward march of this noxious weed the worlds most widely used herbicide for example is proving increasingly ineffective. For zada sound for todd having a life or say it would normally kill everything including black grass. We now have fields in northwestern germany where its failing in the fight against black rocks. Its shocking to see how the weeds develop such. Wrong resistance as a sense is a all. Thats resistance that makes the lead practically invincible with superpowers bestowed by human intervention. Random genetic mutations can lead to a weed becoming resistant to a particular herbicide. Once resistant black grass has infested the field sprayed with that chemical the non resistant plants competing for the space with air and die. The surviving variety
then thrives unimpeded leaving seats which in turn produce more resistant black grass weeds that evolved this way and are no longer vulnerable to new herbicides are called super winds. The rapid proliferation of multi resistant weeds has become a global problem. From the Chemical Industry say they might have a new product in ten or fifteen years time it used to be every five or ten years so once black grass or develop resistance to these active ingredients that be something new to replace them that it works except farmers fail to adapt that Planting System and its on balls to stay involved in it. Until now chemical agents have enabled conventional farmers to grow the most profitable crops now many of them are looking enviously at colleagues they used to mock organic farmers. Weeds
grow in their fields too except here theyre not exterminated with chemicals. Organic farmer finer bone harvest uses methods that have proven first full since the dawn of agriculture this is seeds was our ubiquitous hairy event which is a real nuisance during harvest was on the go because but weve learnt to keep it under control through howling. Good time you know we have a lovely clean crop but its a minor because its all thanks to mechanical weed control. We called little you had worn. Organic farmers are not averse to high tech methods either some now have State Of The Art Mechanical Hose that relieve fields of unwanted visitors theyre fitted with cameras g. P. S. And an auto steer function. But some conventional farms have remained resistant to mechanical tillage seeing it as a step backwards from herbicides. Im fucking that it was so easy to rig up the sprinkler still of the tank and just drive the job was over in no time
or interest would i people always claim that mechanical options were too expensive and time consuming we could hide its fond of them at the greater Efficiency Argument didnt actually wash which im finished. So theres more to organic farming than just modern technology Finer Bornhorst gets to grips with weeds and other pests without chemical assistance and by following the laws of nature rather than the market he could potentially sell far more of these red potatoes every year but he prefers to rotate and only plant them every four years on the same field. Then as it so often the one on the quality rapidly declines when you grow them too frequently in succession the potatoes become extremely present to disease and past slow and organic farmers cant take much action against them. So variety and long intervals between planting are the best means of producing nice healthy potatoes
the best the mr orme was on no and sure to cut off and. Herbicides not hose high output crops instead of more robust varieties for years franks tooted here to that logic of the Agricultural Industry but no longer. Fear musson aunts often for up she dont have to stop Spraying Everything with herbicides which are the heavy handed option. But instead we should be returning to crop. Rotation and intensive tillage like in the old days like our grandfathers did. He wont stop using herbicides overnight but he is looking at alternatives such as broad beans instead of wheat perhaps not as lucrative but a more resilient crop in the long term.
