1. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (so much self-loathing, it's hard to read)

2. Skinning a deer with obsidian (not gross, but they are skinning a deer)

3. Vitamin D deficiency and the benefits of sun exposure (finally getting some mainstream recognition)

The China Study exposed: actual data does not support vegetarian health claims

Many of you may have heard of The China Study -- an extensive 20-year study of millions of Chinese, their diet, and disease. T. Colin Campbell, the lead research from Cornell (and outspoken vegan advocate), concludes that we should be eating a plant-based diet devoid of beef, poultry, eggs, fish, and milk. The China Study has even influenced John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, and new Whole Foods dietary recommendations in stores.

Well, the raw data is in, and the story ain't so pretty. See the breaking news from Richard Nikoley at Free the Animal, and go straight to the take-down (warning: long!) from former vegan/vegetarian Denise Minger at Raw Foods SOS.
