1. In Vitro MeatA nonprofit research consortium called New Harvest is advocating for the use of lab-grown fish, chicken, and pork. They claim that in vitro meat would reduce the demand for farm animals, slowing the spread of diseases (avian influenza, salmonella, etc.) and minimizing the meat industry’s negative effects on the environment. This lab-grown meat may appear on the market in as few as five years, mainly in the form of hamburgers and chicken nuggets.

More Benefits to Soy IntakeA new study published in the December 2008 issue of Osteoporosis International indicates that soy protein intake could help protect against bone loss in post menopausal women.

Burger King Alert of Cancer-Causing Chemical in Grilled ChickenBurger King settled the lawsuit filed by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) by agreeing to warn customers that its grilled chicken entrées contain PhIP, one of a group of carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines that are produced when meats are cooked at high temperatures, as in grilling or barbecuing. PCRM had filed the lawsuit in 2008 against Burger King, along with McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Applebee’s, Outback Steakhouse, Chili’s Grill and Bar Restaurant, and T.G.I. Friday’s in January 2008 for knowingly exposing their customers to PhIP without warning them of its risks.
