Meat, once hailed as a health food is soon loosing its caché.

With independent studies pouring in from all over the world on the harmful effects of eating meat: from benign bad body odor to deadly diseases like cancers and auto immune diseases like multiple sclerosis, coupled with the environmental and the animal welfare concerns, the timing couldn't have been better for a celebrity like Angelina Jolie to pull off some damage control for the ever so threatened Meat Industry.
Pedigree dogs are suffering from genetic diseases following years of inbreeding, an investigation has found. A BBC documentary says they are suffering acute problems because looks are emphasised over health when breeding dogs for shows. The programme shows spaniels with brains too big for their skulls and boxers suffering from epilepsy. The Kennel Club says it works tirelessly to improve the health of pedigree dogs.
I was approached by the BBC 18 months ago with the idea of trying to infiltrate a dog-fighting ring in the UK.

My views on animal welfare have always been strong and the thought of people fighting dogs makes me sick to the stomach. I wanted to expose these people. This was an investigation that needed doing.
Size isn't everything. What's so special about the human brain? It turns out that we're no better endowed between the ears than you would expect for a primate of our size.
There has recently been a flurry of discussion prompted by an article by raw-animal-product advocate Denise Minger, which criticizes The China Study and attacks its author, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. Minger questions Dr. Campbell's personal motives and attempts to impugn his character.

Dr. Campbell recently took time to review Minger's observations and respond. You can read Minger's original article below, linked at the start of Dr. Campbell's response.
Planet in Peril is a two-part, four hour documentary on CNN that premiered on October 23, 2007, broadcast in the CNN Presents format. It also aired as a special presentation on December 2 & 3, 2007 on Animal Planet & Animal Planet HD. CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sanjay Gupta and Animal Planet's Jeff Corwin investigate the current state of our planet, focusing on four major areas: global warming, overpopulation, deforestation and species loss.
This article examines what human rights actually are.
by Dr. Milton R. Mills, M.D.

Humans are most often described as “omnivores.” This classification is based on the “observation” that humans generally eat a wide variety of plant and animal foods. However, culture, custom and training are confounding variables when looking at human dietary practices. Thus, “observation” is not the best technique to use when trying to identify the most “natural” diet for humans. While most humans are clearly “behavioral” omnivores, the question still remains as to whether humans are anatomically suited for a diet that includes animal as well as plant foods.
