What Happened Today? Jenn, Jenny and I went to Zephyrhills to see Chris. We played Jewish Gin all day. Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Minnesota Vikings and are now 7-2 and leading the division. Watched an episode of the Sopranos. Duane’s status is the same.
GAIA- Planetary Management:
471. Livestock eats not only grass, foliage, and other cellular plant material indigestible by human: certain types, notably pigs, chicken, and fish, consume all material such as farmyard garbage and kitchen refuse.
472. Low-grade grazers: Marginal land grazers, browsers, and foragers efficiently convert otherwise unusable energy.
473. Intermediate grazers: Pasture-fed animals also convert plant matter such as crop residues and stubble.
474. High-grade grain feeders: Intensive rearing of pigs, chicekns, and cattle is a very inefficient means of producing protein.
475. One calorie of grain-fed beef requires 10 or more calories of grain, one calorie of battery chicken, 12 calories of grain.
