Yogurt is often marketed as a healthy food. Skim yogurt is considered fat-free, which is why, it has become a big trend in yogurt. The benefits of yogurt just go beyond its high levels of protein and calcium. The good bacteria in yogurt helps to maintain a good digestion and improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

Growing grain for cattle — who eat grass, not grain — is one of the worst idea humans have had. The ongoing destruction of the globe’s rainforests has been brought into devastating focus by the Amazonian blazes. One of the chief mainstream responses has been: “Stop eating meat.” On the face of it, that’s an understandable response. Much forest destruction is caused by agriculture, mostly livestock farming. About 80% of Amazonian soya grown is for cattle feed. About 60% of the cleared land is used for pasture. Horrendous. But “Stop eating meat” is a simplistic response that ignores the bigger problem: destructive agriculture. We’ve been increasingly dividing diets into plant vs animal. It’s a split that fits nicely into social media virtue-signalling and current (insanely misguided) nutritional advice. It’s an ideological division. Viewing this sort of compartmentalising through the prism of rainforest concerns highlights its unhelpfulness. There’s no debate; growing grain for c...

Then perhaps it’s time to look for a trusted breeder to get you commercial breeds for profitability. "It is said even if you give all the nutrition in the world to a goat, it can never be as fat as an elephant because it only has growth characteristics of a goat." 3. If you have been allowing everyone into your farm it’s time to lock its gate and major on e-commerce or have a sales point away from the pig units to simply avoid losing your farm to infections such as African Swine Fever (Lift ...
