Beware the "wild" salmon

Beware the "wild" salmon 04/12/2005 01:47 PM
This is really disturbing: the New York Times reports that Stores Say Wild Salmon, but Tests Say Farm Bred in several stores in New York City. Tests performed for The New York Times in March on salmon sold as wild by eight New York City stores, going for as much as $29 a pound, showed that the fish at six of the eight were farm raised. Farmed salmon, available year round, sells for $5 to $12 a pound in the city. Emphasis mine. Given the contaminants found in farmed salmon, this deceptive practice troubling for consumers trying to make informed healthy decisions. I used to eat a lot of salmon but have really dropped the amount I eat in the past few years. Now it's less than once a month whereas it used to be twice a week, if not more. It's too bad because I love salmon, but it's too difficult to determine its source, especially when suppliers appear to be lying.

Fighting Factory Farms

Fighting Factory Farms 06/17/2005 03:28 PM

Several readers were sufficiently shocked by the picture and story of what goes on in Western factory farms to ask "What can we do about it?" Here are some thoughts, and a bunch of useful links to more information: Become a vegan: Our political and economic systems being what they are, it is much more effective to eliminate demand for what factory farms provide, than to try to get government to change the way they operate. Contrary to the industry's hype and propaganda, a vegan (botanic) diet is an extremely healthy, easy and delicious one. If you're not really convinced that the animals we eat are profoundly sensitive, emotional creatures, read Jeff Masson's lovely, gently persuasive The Pig Who Sang to the Moon or When Elephants Weep. Here are eight tips to make the transition to vegetarianism, the first step to a botanic diet. A great way to start is to take a class in vegan cooking. Buy local or Certified Humane: If giving up meat and dairy is too much of a stretch, find local, trusted suppliers that you, or people you know, have visited and are comfortable with the conditions the animals are kept in. Or support and research Certified Humane suppliers (Canadians will find a more complete list here). Note that "organic" does not necessarily mean cruelty-free (though it is more likely to be) and that there are no standards or inspections behind "free-range" claims. For more inspiration on why this is so important read this wonderful essay A Good Farmer from novelist Barbara Kingsolver in The Nation. Small local farms are better for the environment, better for employment, better for the local community, better for workers, better for your health, and, of course, better for the animals. And if you haven't seen the award-winning short film The Meatrix yet, take a look -- it's not violent or sensationalistic. Talk others into becoming vegan/vegetarian and buying local/Certified Humane: Consumer action takes numbers. Nothing is more effective than person-to-person conversation. You don't have to be strident -- just tell people the facts. Adopt a local farmer: Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group or meet with a local farmer and get your neighbours to pool together to buy from that farmer. Support the Slow Food Movement: They are champions of sustainable and high-biodiversity agriculture, and hence enemies of factory farms. Talk to your grocery stores and restaurants: Start your political activism at your end of the food chain, where you have the most influence. Tell your grocery store that you want more variety of botanic products, and to be able to buy them in bulk, not just tiny prepackaged portions. Tell them, and your favourite restaurants, that you want to buy Certified Humane products. Print up and give them I Care Calling Cards. Join organizations that care: If you're going to try to lobby for political change, work with organizations that are doing so already. Farm Aid, the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the US or Canada, and the GRACE Factory Farm Project all provide resources and help fighting factory farms. Know what you're up against: Factory farms are dominated by a few huge, politically influential and massively subsidized agribusiness corporations. If you have other suggestions, please use the comments button below to tell us about them.

The hope is to build 50 gram micro-planes that can stay aloft for about an hour and fly a few miles. These little guys will be fitted with video cameras to bug the baddies. The Bath University is being funded by BAE SYSTEMS, the British Ministry of Defense and the US Air Force. I'm sure there aren't any privacy concerns.

Oh Debbie

Oh Debbie 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

A single MP3 takes about five times as long to get as it does to play; a system update or a software release will, if you’re lucky, be there in the morning when you click it before bed; pages built with Flash or sludgy Javascript usually aren’t worth the bother. Anything urgent means a twenty minute drive to an internet shop where for money one can watch all sorts of copyright violations rain down at a half-gigabyte per hour.

The digital rural lifestyle, at 56k.

Some time ago France Telecom announced that every community with a hundred interested broadband subscribers would have ADSL brought to them. Months later the local mairie snapped into action by putting a petition on its reception desk. But in a village where the median age is about seventy, and where there are probably more tractors than computers, and where no one ever goes to the mairie, there was no mad rush to sign. So no broadband in the near future.

For ages I tried to get satellite to work, but the rates have always been ridiculous (consumption-wise, analogous to a hundred bucks for a bowl of tapwater), and while Macs could theoretically be configured to negotiate the VPN moat and drawbridge of satellite broadband, people were happy to point out that no one ever had.

Now, though, it seems rates are getting more affordable. Packages are on offer that compete in price with terrestrial DSL, without miserly bandwidth limitations. So I just signed the hell up.

All very exciting except that now, in order to make it work, and within a day of installing Apple’s latest and greatest system update, which is marvellous and a pleasure to behold – though I can’t figure why they abandoned the pane tabs in dialog boxes – I have to go out and buy a PC.

There are other reasons to get one: certain PC-only software won’t run under emulation, there’s always that testing-on-multiple-platforms thing that grownup software developers are always prattling on about, and the kids need a machine with which to go online and do, erm, ‘homework’ (there was once a rusty old clamshell iBook available for this purpose, but one day fate put it in the same room as the little red-haired kid, a glass of lemonade, and gravity). But still it feels a bit like hell has frozen over.

And I have no idea what to look for. I’d be grateful for help from Windows enthusiasts on the following questions:

• Will the Internet Sharing feature in Win2K or XP allow one to connect an Airport base station by ethernet and broadcast internet connections, or will separate routing software be required?
• Other than a hard drive, processor, video card, ethernet and USB, is there anything I should expect to need in the box?
• What is a reasonable ballpark price for such a box, assembled piecemeal? Monitor? Peripherals?

Thanking you!

UPDATE: Lebowski, we’re getting a Dell.

Thanks to all who wrote with advice, in particular those who pointed out the glaring truth that components are so inexpensive now that trying to save money by buying second-hand is foolish at best.

Still, the question of how Dell can manage to undercut the price of everyone else’s factory machines and still throw in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and all other bells and whistles besides is a little worrying, no?

The NYT is reporting that AOL is providing software to customers to block pop-ups. The sheer number of ironies in this article is simply delicious, and renders further comment unnecessary: 1) "AOL pioneered the often annoying but effective pop-up format" 2) "10 percent of its users had chosen not to receive pop-ups from AOL's own service, an option that has been harder to find than the new blocking software." Hard to find? Almost impossible. 3) "the number of sites that will accept pop-ups is increasing, including ever more sites owned by AOL Time Warner like Mapquest and CNN.com."
