Plastics May be Contaminating
Your Food with Animal By-Products
By
SavingLife@aol.com
I
was recently reading an article in the Central Penn Business Journal titled,
"Making it Kosher. Firm Changes
Oil in Plastic," by John R. Finger.
According to the article, plastic containers contain an ingredient,
which is added in the manufacturing process, called tallow. This ingredient is an animal fat-based
by-product, which keeps the hot plastic from sticking to the machinery. As if this weren't bad enough, there is
evidence that these ingredients "leach out" or rise to the surface of
these plastic containers and then mix into the food contained within. For this reason, the FDA currently regulates
these additives in much the same manner in which it oversees all ingredients
added to our foods.
Apparently,
according to this article, steel food containers used to be lined by this
animal-based tallow ingredient.
However, with pressure from the kosher food-certification authorities
and Muslim certifiers, this ingredient was removed from the manufacturing
process and replaced with a vegetable-based coating.
Currently,
there is only one company manufacturing "kosher" plastic bowls, lids,
and cookware: Premier Classic Container.
They plan to launch their products, which range in cost from $1.39 to
$2.99 a piece, in April of this year.
Currently, the Giant Food Stores Inc., in Carlisle, Pennsylvania will be
the only ones stocking the product, but this is only the beginning. Giant plans to release the product slowly
and build momentum before a mass distribution.
Premier
claims that there is such an overwhelming demand for their product that they
are in the process of making business decisions and implementations that will
enable them to produce enough of this product to meet these demands. In fact, Del Riley, co-owner of Premier
Classic Container, foresees the entire plastic industry switching over to the
vegetable-based containers within the next three to five years. Tupperware Corporation and Rubbermaid
Incorporated did not return calls for comment in this article. Wonder why?

59 Different Hormones Naturally In Cow's Milk
Each
sip of milk provides you with:
*Steroid
hormones (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, 17-Keto-steroids,
Corticosterone, Vitamin D)
*Pituitary
hormones (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH ACTH Oxytocin)
*Hypothalamic
hormones (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL-inhibiting factor, PRL- releasing factor, GnRH, GRH)
*Thyroid
and Parathyroid hormones (T3, T4, rT3, Calcitonin, Parathormone, PTH peptide)
gastrointestinal peptides (Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Bombesin,
Cholecystokinin, Gastrin, Gastrin inhibitory peptide, Pancreatic peptide, Y peptide, Substance P and
Neurotensin)
*Growth
Factors (IGF's (I and II), IGF binding proteins, Nerve growth factor, Epidermal
growth factor and TGF alpha, TGF beta, Growth Inhibitors MDGI and MAF, and
Platelet derived growth factor
*Others...
PGE, PGF2 alpha, cAMP, cGMP, Delta sleep inducing peptide, Transferrin,
Lactoferrin, Casomorphin and Erythropoietin
GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED MILK CONTAINS INCREASED LEVELS OF NATURALLY OCCURRING GROWTH
HORMONES
*IGF-I
Insulin-like
Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) is identical between humans and cows. This powerful
growth hormone (the most powerful in the human body) has 70 amino acids in the
same exact gene sequence in both humans and cows. Like a key fitting into a
lock, this hormone exerts powerful growth effects on humans and has been called
the key factor in the growth and proliferation of childhood cancers.
*MILK
HORMONES FOR OUR CHILDREN
When
cows are injected with the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone
(BGH/BST), levels of IGF-I in milk always increase. FDA published this
admission in the August 24, 1990 issue of SCIENCE (Juskevich and Guyer).
*GOT
MILK? GOT POWERFUL HORMONES
How
many hormones will your children take today?
*MILK
HORMONES FOR OUR CHILDREN
In
Japan, every year since 1946, tens-of thousands of persons are interviewed and
their diets carefully analyzed along with their weights and heights and other
factors such as cancer rates and age of puberty (the last measured by the onset
of menstruation in young girls). This study includes detailed personal
interviews and is well respected and accepted by scientists. In 1975, 21,707
persons from 6,093 households were included in the sampling. The results of the
study were published in a respected scientific journal, PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
(Yasuo Kagawa, Department of Biochemistry, Jichi Medical)
*HOW
MILK CHANGED JAPANESE CHILDREN
Japan
had been devastated by losing a war and was occupied by American troops.
Americanization included dietary changes. Milk and dairy products, relatively
unknown to Japan, were becoming a significant part of the Japanese diet.
According to this study, the per-capita yearly dietary intake of dairy products
in 1950 was only 5.5 pounds. Twenty-five years later, the average Japanese ate
117.4 pounds of milk and dairy products. The consumption of milk and dairy
products (containing powerful growth hormones) represented the biggest dietary
change for the Japanese people.
*WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE CHILDREN?
What
happened to young girls and the impact of milk consumption on puberty is even
more dramatic. In 1950 the average twelve-year old girl was 4'6" tall and
weighed 71 pounds. By 1975 the average Japanese girl, after guzzling a daily
diet of milk and dairy products containing 59 different bioactive hormones, had
grown an average of 4 1/2 inches and gained 19 pounds. In 1950 the average Japanese
girl had her first menstrual cycle at the age of 15.2 years. Twenty-five years
later, after a daily intake of estrogen and progesterone from milk, the average
Japanese girl was ovulating at the age of 12.2 years, three years younger.
Never
before had such a dramatic dietary change been seen in such a unique population
study.

WWAIL
World Week for Animal In Laboratories
In
Defense of Animals is organizing for World Week for Animals in Laboratories
2000 and working with activists around the world to make this year's events
more productive than ever.
WWAIL
is truly global with actions and activities taking place in countries around
the world. If you have friends with groups or organizations inside or outside
the U.S. please invite them to participate.
Here
in the United States, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is currently
undergoing the largest expansion in its history; this bodes ill for the animals
who will be used in NIH funded laboratories across the nation and throughout
the world.
NIH
pays researchers in Canada to dose piglets with cocaine. It pays scientists in
Sweden to sever the spinal cords of rats and investigators in Israel to implant
human tumors into rats. NIH funds French researchers to induce cancer in mice. NIH hires scientists in Australia to infect
monkeys with HIV, Chinese researchers to infect dogs with hookworms, and
investigators in New Zealand to damage the umbilical cords of lambs. In
England, NIH is paying people to examine rat brains.
U.S.
law is failing miserably to protect animals in U.S. laboratories, so it has no
hope of protecting animals in foreign laboratories even if federal dollars are
breeding, buying and feeding the animals in those labs.
In
Defense of Animals (IDA) urges you to become involved and make this a year the
vivisection industry is called to task across the globe. We hope you will
brainstorm with us as we prepare and plan. Vivisectors in Great Britain, Japan,
Israel, and everywhere need to look up and know that in front of every lab door
people with good hearts and resolute determination are demanding an end to the
cruelties and waste of health care monies.
If
you are looking for issues to highlight during your events, consider promoting
three goals that we believe are worthy of your support during this year's WWAIL
activities.
1.
Support of the Greenwood Bill, H.R. 3514 through letter writing and phone
lobbying. The Greenwood Bill would establish a permanent retirement sanctuary
for "surplus" chimpanzees in the U.S.
2.
An immediate ban on all invasive or otherwise harmful experimentation on
chimpanzees.
3.
A 5% reallocation of the funds currently being spent on animal-based research
to non-animal-based research per year, until a 50% reallocation is achieved.
Then, an evaluation of the impact of this reallocation and a determination of
whether the reallocations should continue.
These
three modest goals are attainable. They reflect current scientific knowledge
and the growing public understanding and acceptance of other animals as our neighbors
deserving of our respect. We hope you will join us in promoting these goals
during the week of April 23 and will urge your friends to become involved as
well.
No
matter what your focus might be this year: dogs labs, primate vivisection,
Xenotransplantation, genetic engineering, or any of the host of problems
deserving attention, IDA has the capability to help publicize the events and
efforts you plan for World Week. We have thousands of media outlets in our fax
database and a strong desire to promote a resolute message of compassion,
rational science, and public involvement. Check out the available resources at
the WWAIL website:
<http://www.wwail.org/>
World
Week will span two full weekends and stretch from April 22 through April 30;
this will encompass Easter and Earth Day on Saturday the 22nd.

Help Save JoJo the Dolphin -
Leafletters Needed at Movie Events
JoJo,
the dolphin who is being injured by ski boats at Club Med in the Turks &
Caicos Islands, is currently featured in a film entitled "Dolphins"
which is touring certain theaters around the world. We need people to pass out leaflets at film showings, to educate
the public about JoJo's plight and encourage people to write letters on JoJo's
behalf. (See www.jojo.tc/clubmet.htm
for additional information.)
If
you can participate, please contact Donna Hertel at SHARK at (630) 262-9908 or
SharkIntl@aol.com
If
you would like to know if the movie is showing in your area, please contact
Donna or check the film's website at http://dolphinsfilm.com/HomeLE.htm
We
must get the word out to stop the cruelty that Club Med is exhibiting in its
treatment of this special animal. Movie
patrons see the scars covering JoJo's body. This is a golden opportunity that
has been handed to us. This can be an
easy win!
Currently,
some of the areas where the film is showing in the U.S. and Canada are listed
below. Please note that showings are
subject to change. More sites may be
added, and there are additional showings in other parts of the world. So keep checking the web site, or contact
Donna Hertel. Please contact SHARK
immediately if you can participate.
Thanks for your help.

Say it with Love
By
Onetofree@aol.com
Imagine
sitting in a crowded room. Suddenly someone says how great their love life has
been with their spouse. They go on to say that it keeps getting better and
better. Do you think that others would want to know what their secret is? What
if the person went on to say that ever since their spouse gave up eating meat
(s)he has been looking and feeling great. It is my belief that every person
listening in that room would start considering vegetarianism. Now imagine that
the same person is sitting in a room and starts talking about how people who
eat meat are a bunch of murderers. Do you think that anyone in that same room
would listen? Or would they just tune
out the conversation?
It
is my belief that people can't make the jump from eating meat to believing it
is murder in a moment's time. Personally I started with becoming a vegetarian
which led to my becoming a vegan. It wasn't until I stopped wearing and using
animals' skins and by-products that the horror of it all hit me. The human mind
is an amazing thing. I believe it sometimes protects us from ourselves. It
makes perfect sense that you would come to the realization of meat equaling
murder after you have stopped eating it yourself. The trauma you would
experience otherwise could be crippling.
It
is with these thoughts and knowledge that I started my own company called
vegi-wares. It can be found on the Internet @ www.vegi-wares.com. It is my hope
that vegetarians will go a little easier on the meat eating community. With
love they will teach and inspire. With anger they will shut out and alienate.
The messages we convey on our T-shirts are very simple. They are seeds that we
are planting in others' minds. Seeds of change that we believe will lead to
vegetarianism. Join us in our peaceful quest to inform the world of the beauty
of vegetarianism.

How Does Animal Cruelty
Relate To Other Crimes?
1) A woman wrapped packaging tape around her
dog's mouth with a toy inside and left the dog in the backyard on a hot June
day, where he died of heat stroke.
Witnesses said the woman had beaten her children severely in the yard
and several complaints had been filed with child protective services.

Violence - A Practical Guide:, The Latham Foundation, 1995, p. 6.
2) Three juveniles beat their mother's dog
close to death with metal baseball bats. The mother revealed that all three had
been arrested for trying to extort money from a 12 year old boy; when he
refused, they severely beat him with metal baseball bats.

Violence - A Practical Guide:, The Latham Foundation, 1995, p. 6.
3) A gun collector who was nicknamed
"Killer" for boasting about shooting hundreds of animals, was
indicated in the deaths of two outdoorsmen.
He emerged as a suspect after agents tailed a man they said spent his
weekends drinking beer, cruising remote roads and shooting at utility poles and
road signs, and killing more than 1,000 animals, including cats, dogs and
cattle.

4) Animal control officers received an
anonymous complaint that a pit bull was being kept in a filthy yard without
adequate food, water or shelter. Upon
entering the house, the officers found a woman, her two young children and her
double-amputee mother living in squalid conditions with no running water or
electricity. Human filth and garbage
filled the bathroom and the kitchen was virtually bare. Police officers were notified and
authorities took the children and dog into care while the mother was entered
into a drug treatment program.

NEAVS
Marks World Week for Animals in Labs with Special Programs, National Speakers
NEAVS
is proud to host Dr. Ray Greek during the Boston stop of his four-city book
tour!
Featuring
nationally recognized speakers and authors, the New England Anti-Vivisection
Society (NEAVS) is presenting special programs and events throughout April to
mark World Week for Animals in Labs, April 23- 30.
Ray
Greek, MD, author, board-certified anesthesiologist, and pain management
specialist, will present a free lecture on Saturday, April 1, from 2 - 4 p.m.
at the "Press Room" of the historic Omni Parker House, 60 School St.,
Boston. Using examples from the highly praised book which he co-authored with
his wife who is a veterinarian, Sacred Cows and Golden Geese: The Harm to
Humans from Experiments on Animals, Dr. Greek examines the dangers and
limitations inherent in animal research -- including hazards to human health.
In
her foreword, Dr. Jane Goodall writes: "... the authors use factual,
scientific arguments to explain how... the infliction of suffering on animals
in medical research is not a biomedical evil, necessary to save human lives,
but a real betrayal of the scientific method ...and may actually be harmful to
humans. [This book] should find a place in all libraries, including high school
libraries."
Dr.
Greek instructed at two of the country's most prestigious medical schools and
has published in several medical journals. He is well known and widely
respected on the lecture circuit, and is an engaging medical authority as he
presents his case.
The
public, especially NEAVS friends and supporters, are invited to this dynamic
and informative free program. Call NEAVS at 617-523-6020 x13 to reserve
seating. Space is limited, so be sure
to call today!
About
Dr. Greek's Book:
SACRED
COWS AND GOLDEN GEESE
The
Human Cost of Experiments on Animals
By
C. Ray Greek, MD, and Jean Swingle Greek, DVM
The
heartfelt argument against animal exploitation in medicine has struggled
forward as a largely philosophical and emotional appeal. Hence, until now,
misinformation regarding medical achievements garnered through animals has
overwhelmed it. Finally, a new book adds hard data regarding the negative
economic and health consequences to humans of animal experimentation. It
promises to hasten the end of the flaw-filled and wasteful practice. Sacred
Cows and Golden Geese thoroughly exposes the scientific failure of using
animals for human biomedical research.
Author
and physician Ray Greek is this country's most knowledgeable scientific voice
against animal experimentation. As such, he is frequently called to debate
members of the animal experimentation community. No one is as familiar with
their argument and the medical events they claim relied upon animal models. Dr.
Greek, and his wife, veterinarian Jean Swingle Greek, have gone to great ends
to demonstrate that these claims either misrepresent actual events or the
researchers used animals when other means could have provided more accurate,
expeditious and less dangerous results.
With
hundreds of references, Sacred Cows and Golden Geese proves that animal
experimentation is imprecise, unnecessary and hazardous. The comprehensive book
takes a look at the actual contributions made by animal experimenters on a
case-by-case basis, from AIDS research, to cancer therapies. The references
refute the merit of animal experimentation, not from the animal rights
perspective, but from that of the hundreds of scientists who have endured its
inadequacy. Time and time again, their
experience proves how animal experimentation has hindered medical progress and
endangered humans.
Sacred
Cows and Golden Geese takes a careful look at the subversion of fact and forces
that propel this miscarriage of science. It describes the medical research
community, the major multimillion dollar corporations that control the shape of
medical science the world-over, and the biases of important health
organizations that perpetuate animal experimentation. Together, these create a
system moving under its own momentum toward a future that is extremely
perilous, not just for the animals being experimented upon, but for humans
whose health depends on medical breakthroughs.
It
is this danger that makes reading Sacred Cows and Golden Geese such an
imperative. Its content is, in many respects, bleak. However, the situation is
far from hopeless and the course of medical research can be redirected. The
Greeks suggest a very different, much more science-based and healthful future
for medical investigation. They describe contemporary biotechnologies
proffering numerous means to achievement that do not use animals, and in fact,
enable much more reliable results.
Sacred
Cows and Golden Geese is a beginning, the first exhaustive compilation of
evidence representing the scientific fallacy of animal experimentation. It has
the potential to be a watershed publication, because by encouraging more people
to question the track record and efficacy of the animal experimentation
industry, it fortifies the campaign against this cruel and duplicitous
convention.

Religion?
by
parogers@mindspring.com (Patricia Rogers)
Religion?
I have no
religion.
For I have yet
to find
any religion
that includes
in its
innermost circle
those being
not like us.
Here and there
a small sect
or two
will grant
that the spark
of the divine
rests in both man
and woman.
But what of
the great apes?
The elephants
and grey whales?
And the birds?
Have they no
spark?
And the ants
who scurry to
get clear of our feet?
Have they no
spark?
And the little
grey mouse
with her nest
in the old
vacuum hose
in the garage.
Has she no
spark?
Until the
spark of
the divine
universe
is recognized
and honored
in all living
beings,
the ethics of
veganism
is my
religion:
To do the
least harm.
To all living
beings--
including the
very breath,
skin,
muscle,
blood and
bones
of Planet
Earth herself.
Veganism is
not any easy path
nor one so
difficult.
Certainly
perfection
is not
attainable.
To do no harm
is not possible
but to do the
least harm
is a goal
worth striving for,
a goal that
can be attained
by conscious
living.
Formal
services are optional;
but daily
attendance to one's activities,
choices and
thoughts,
is a
necessity.
Difficult?
Not really.
The real
difficulty is not
in changing
habits.
Choosing
veganism
is not like
giving up
smoking.
You are
leaving behind actions
which
contribute to pain and suffering.
You are
choosing life--
life for an
"Other."
How difficult
is that?
For me,
the difficulty
is in accepting
that it took
so very long
to see that
the chicken on my plate
had a life of
her own.
A purpose.
That she knew
and understood.
And it was not
to cover the
right side of my plate
or fill my
stomach.
Veganism is
not asceticism.
You do not
have to live in an earth house
and bathe in
cold streams.
You do have to
choose carefully
what you use
to remove the dirt
from your
houses
and not
contribute to the pollution
of the body of
the Mother
by your
choices in food and clothing.
Veganism is
joyful.
For to choose
compassion
and life
is
spirit-freeing.
Like seeing a
double rainbow.
