The Secret Ingredient In Whole Foods Organic Apple Cookies Is Eggs, So They've Been Recalled

Where To Find Space Dust From An Ancient Supernova On Earth

Scientists have found iron-60 with interstellar origins in Antarctica, likely a distant supernova that occurred millions of years ago. The samples came from 1,100 pounds of snow gathered from Antarctica where the high altitude of the sample kept it free of dust contamination. The snow was melted in a German lab and analyzed with an accelerator mass spectrometer, where the rare nuclear iron-60 isotope was detected.

Debunking Debunking: Are We Really Less Credulous Than In The Past?

Secular modernity requires the weeding out of all the baloney. Yet it’s not clear that we are any less credulous than before, notes Emily Ogden. an associate professor of English at the University of Virginia, in Aeon magazine.

Aesthetics and FCC Bullying Are Fine Reasons To Say 'No' to 5G, But Health Claims Are Bogus

Though trial lawyers and the environmental groups that stand to benefit financially from more lawsuits are lined up to sue over 5G wireless using shoddy epidemiological massaging, it's a blatant lie to claim non-ionizing radiation is causing brain cancer.
Not "unproven" or other terms that coddle activists who trade in disinformation, it's a lie.
But aesthetics and a distaste for FCC bullying are fine reasons to object. Net neutrality is not the first time the FCC engaged in the kind of 'we are the government' tactics the IRS and the US Post Office engage in, anyone who tried to create a low power radio station and got threatened with jail knows it's a common tactic.

Japan’s Hayabusa 2 Spacecraft Discovered This Strange Anomaly About Asteroid Ryugu

In the summer of 2018, the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft arrived at the Ryugu asteroid and in October of that year sent out the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) lander to gather information about the surface.Now the images taken during its 17 hour mission have revealed something interesting. The asteroid, just over half a mile in diameter, has rocks like carbonaceous chondrite meteorites but there seems to be no dust, like is on the moon. The rocks are instead "bright, with smooth faces and sharp edges, or dark, with a cauliflower-like, crumbly surface."

Randy Constant, The Farmer Behind The Largest Known Organic Fraud in U.S. History, Has Committed Suicide

Organic food has no surprise spot testing, and no testing at all from its clients like Environmental Working Group, in the U.S. you just have to rely on the willingness of over 80 groups that are in the business of selling stickers to believe their clients - the people who pay them and keep them in business.

Just Egg: Eggless Egg Substitute Concoctions Go Into 2,100 Kroger stores

Mung bean protein, canola oil, onion puree and turmeric - it's what's for breakfast. Maybe.Fake versions of foods are all the rage but egg farmers who survived the Vegg ("nutritional yeast flakes, Sodium alginate, Kala Namak, beta-carotene") can't rest easy just yet. Joining any number of eggless egg substitute concoctions, Just Egg is rolling out in 2,100 Kroger stores nationwide.Unlike most others, which are just used as a leavening agent or a binder so egg is substituted by xantham gum or tofu or some other chemical and isn't really for cooking, three tablespoons of Just Egg is touted to be just like a regular egg and can be used for an omelet or scramble. So if you don't want to eat liquid chicken, you can eat whatever this is instead.

Iceland Held A Funeral For A Glacier

Iceland is not really icy and Greenland is not really green (nor it is for sale, it seems) so Iceland prizes its glaciers. One, Okjokull glacier, disappeared 10 years ago so they recently decided to give it a funeral in a the made-for-media political theater memorial that only unemployed people mobilized by professional activists have time to engage in. About 100 people actually did walk up the volcano, with the kids (naturally) featured prominently. 

Happy Family Organics Lobbyists Get A Win - More Organic Food For Poor People On WIC, At The Same High Cost

Happy Family Organics has another win, by expanding the number of states in which participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) can purchase its jars of "organic" baby food. The company also claims it is making packaging commitments that "support a more circular economy" but the beginning of that circle need to be the price poor people pay, not fuzzy-wuzzy marketing claims about whatever "sustainability" is pretending to be this week.

Artificial Cranial Deformation For Social Status Found In Croatia Skulls From 5th Century

Artificial Cranial Deformation (ACD) is the practice of modifying the skull from infancy to create a permanently altered shape, often to signify social status. In a new study, genetic, isotopic and skeletal analysis of three human skeletons dating to 415-560 AD excavated from the Hermanov vinograd archaeological site in Osijek Croatia revealed that all were males between 12 and 16 years of age at death and that they all suffered from malnutrition. They are not obviously of different social status, but genetic analysis found that the two with cranial modifications exhibited very distinct ancestries, one from the Near East and the other from East Asia.
