I’m looking for more information on soy production, and how it impacts the environment. I have heard some talk of how vegans should avoid soy consumption, as it wreaks havoc on the land. Is it because nothing will take in post-soy soil? How many of you vegans out there avoid soy for this reason?

EDUMACATE ME.

Nicole did some maths earlier while we were chatting on skype and came up with this.

“If every vegan turned another person vegan each year then technically it would only take 7 years until 76.8% of the uk population would be vegan”.

Ok…

Polls have shown that over 90% of Americans want Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) to be labeled. Yeah, that’s right. Over 90%! Polls almost never yield numbers like that. So what’s the holdup, Washington?

Salps

Although salps appear similar to jellyfish because of the simple form of their bodies and their free-floating way of life, they are structurally most closely related to vertebrates, animals with true backbones.

Salps appear to have a form preliminary to vertebrates, and are used as a starting point in models of how vertebrates evolved. Scientists speculate that the tiny groups of nerves in salps are one of the first instances of a primitive nervous system, which eventually evolved into the more complex central nervous systems of vertebrates.
