You must also know that even if there was a lab leak in this case (which is unlikely), the way humans are behaving around the world with respect to the natural environment it is only a matter of time before we have another outbreak situation. We’re just dumb.

Out of curiosity, what do you think he has done for climate change and space travel? 

We actually use most agricultural land now to feed animals that we then eat. We could produce bunch more if we instead used that land for human food.

I’m a veterinarian, so I do understand both cows and their digestive anatomy. I also know quite a bit about animal agriculture, as I have to work with farmers quite frequently, and I majored in animal science and natural resource management. Pasture land is often land that could be used to grow crops for people.…

Meat may be calorie-dense, but it is more energy-efficient to eat lower down on the trophic scale. 90% of energy put into plants is lost when cows eat plants, and 90% of the energy put into cow meat is lost when we eat cows (not even including the fact that we do not eat all of cows). That’s a lot of wasted energy! No…

Animal protein creates the most reliance on monoculture there is - what do you think the cows and pigs eat? Most of the plant material grown (mostly by monoculture and reliance on Roundup) today goes to feed animals that we then eat. Eat more plants, and a variety of plants, and that reliance actually decreases.

When I went to gymnastics camp, Tony Hawk came and visited the skateboard part of the camp. I had an older friend who was about 15 (I was 12) but had large breasts to the point where she wore two sports bras to do gymnastics. We were walking around the camp and Tony Hawk drove by on his golf cart and looked my friend u…

You don’t know what anarchy is.

If you are worried about hip dysplasia, I would ask your vet and recommend some x-rays of her hips (the PennHIP program is the best). There are things that can be done to help if you would like to spend some money (surgery is the most common, but some people have made some cool braces for growing dogs) but it is…

Nope, those guys get paid to do paperwork, too. The way you do it is up your fees in order to cover the cost of doing business, whether that means hiring a new person or doing it yourself but cutting back on client/patient time. You can’t live doing unpaid work in your spare time, especially with a high-stress job…

Due to the way healthcare works here, more of a doctor’s time is spent on paperwork for the patient than examining the patient. They are still doing work for you, but they aren’t with you. Doctors alao spend 4 years of undergrad and 4 years of medical school (which is like an additional 8 years of undergrad in sleep…

Men would find it difficult to get into medical or veterinary school without some diversity fudging. Women tend to have higher grades, more experience, and better attitudes about working their ways up.

I wrote a 16 page paper on this in high school, back when many scholars refused to address this topic. It was specifically about the Catholic Church’s role. My teacher/advisor was Catholic and pretty religious; she gave me a bad grade.

People lie because they can’t recall things, because they were doing something inappropriate or illegal, because the truth interferes with the image they are trying to project, because they want to please the person they are talking to, because they mis-remember, because they want to not be questioned anymore, etc.…

That’s not what an accessory is.

White people don’t have to be guilty to finger someone of another race, particularly a black person. Many victims will say a black person did it, even if they didn’t get a good look. For example, women who were assaulted by a husband or family member might say a black man did it out of racism and fear of their abuser.…

Technically, most intelligent estimates I have seen say we are past the carrying capacity of earth for humans.

Dude, the CDC isn’t allowed to collect information on guns or gun crime.

When was the last time you talked to college kids? Young men most certainly are talking and bragging about raping women using alcohol and drugs.
