  • Title: Survey of Microbiological Status of Offal Products from Pork
    Title: Survey of Microbiological Status of Offal Products from Pork Processing Facilities in the United States – NPB #16-162 Institution: South Dakota State University. Investigators: Alan Erickson (Principal Investigator), South Dakota State University; William Benjy Mikel, WPF Technical Services; Laura Ruesch SDSU; Jane Christopher-Hennings, SDSU; Monte Fuhrman, Pipestone Veterinary Services; Jonathan Ertl, Sioux Nation Ag Center. Date submitted: 10/31/17 Industry Summary: In the United States, approximately five million metric tons of pork variety meats and other byproducts are generated each year with a large amount of this material being rendered to generate low value products like pet food, meat/bone meal, fat, and grease. An alternative use of the US variety meats would be to market and sell them to consumers in countries like China that prefer strong tasting pork products like the variety meats. The desirability of these products in foreign markets makes them higher value products, which could help increase the value of live hogs for US producers. To be able to market and sell these variety meats in global markets, it is important to understand the microbiological status of these products. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to: Determine the microbiological profile of commonly consumed offal products (liver, heart, kidney, brain and intestine) as currently handled in pork production facilities in the United States. This microbiological profile will include tests for: mesophilic aerobic plate counts (APC), Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Toxoplasma gondii. To address this objective, samples of heart, kidney, liver, brain and intestine were obtained from 15 pork processing plants in 10 states found across the Midwestern and Southeastern pork-producing region of the US.

The study sample consisted of 132 children from 3 months to 1$ years of age, whose parents belonged to the congregation of the Vishwa Hindu Parished Temple in Bur- naby, B.C. In the dietary assessment of nutritional status, a 24-hour diet recall and a food habits questionnaire were em• ployed on the 132 children.

  • Vegetarianism and World Peace and Justice
    Visit the Triangle-Wide calendar of peace events, www.trianglevegsociety.org/peacecalendar VVeeggeettaarriiaanniissmm,, WWoorrlldd PPeeaaccee,, aanndd JJuussttiiccee By moving toward vegetarianism, can we help avoid some of the reasons for fighting? We find ourselves in a world of conflict and war. Why do people fight? Some conflict is driven by a desire to impose a value system, some by intolerance, and some by pure greed and quest for power. The struggle to obtain resources to support life is another important source of conflict; all creatures have a drive to live and sustain themselves. In 1980, Richard J. Barnet, director of the Institute for Policy Studies, warned that by the end of the 20th century, anger and despair of hungry people could lead to terrorist acts and economic class war [Staten Island Advance, Susan Fogy, July 14, 1980, p.1]. Developed nations are the largest polluters in the world; according to Mother Jones (March/April 1997, http://www. motherjones.com/mother_jones/MA97/hawken2.html), for example, Americans, “have the largest material requirements in the world ... each directly or indirectly [using] an average of 125 pounds of material every day ... Americans waste more than 1 million pounds per person per year ... less than 5 percent of the total waste ... gets recycled”. In the US, we make up 6% of the world's population, but consume 30% of its resources [http://www.enough.org.uk/enough02.htm]. Relatively affluent countries are 15% of the world’s population, but consume 73% of the world’s output, while 78% of the world, in developing nations, consume 16% of the output [The New Field Guide to the U.

  • Know Dieting: Risks and Reasons to Stop
    k"#w & ieting, -isks and -easons to 2top Dieting: Any attempts in the name of weight loss, “healthy eating” or body sculpting to deny your body of the essential, well-balanced nutrients and calories it needs to function to its fullest capacity. The Dieting Mindset: When dissatisfaction with your natural body shape or size leads to a decision to actively change your physical body weight or shape. Dieting has become a national pastime, especially for women. ∗ Americans spend more than $40 billion dollars a year on dieting and diet-related products. That’s roughly equivalent to the amount the U.S. Federal Government spends on education each year. ∗ It is estimated that 40-50% of American women are trying to lose weight at any point in time. ∗ One recent study revealed that 91% of women on a college campus had dieted. 22% dieted “often” or “always.” (Kurth et al., 1995). ∗ Researchers estimate that 40-60% of high school girls are on diets (Sardula et al., 1993; Rosen & Gross, 1987). ∗ Another study found that 46% of 9-11 year olds are sometimes or very often on diets (Gustafson-Larson & Terry, 1992). ∗ And, another researcher discovered that 42% of 1st-3rd grade girls surveyed reported wanting to be thinner (Collins, 1991). The Big Deal About Dieting: What You Should Know ∗ Dieting rarely works. 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight and more within 1 to 5 years. ∗ Dieting can be dangerous: ! “Yo-yo” dieting (repetitive cycles of gaining, losing, & regaining weight) has been shown to have negative health effects, including increased risk of heart disease, long-lasting negative impacts on metabolism, etc.
