Happy Tastes Better

Basically this details research going on at Purdue and elsewhere showing that happy animals make better tasting meat.

Gee, do ya think?

Humans figured out a long time ago that stress and angst really effect our health - and that sick, scrawny animals make poor meat. It looks like somebody (besides us grass farmers) finally added one and one and got two!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
