Veganism, Eastern Mysticism, and Mob Lynching

by Vijay Jayaraj

Globalization has changed our lives. With a changing culture, the food on our plate has become diverse. Sometimes that comes with a change in the philosophy of eating, too! Among the many ‘isms’ popular in the 21st century, veganism enjoys a special status. Food is an essential part of our lives. Supporters portray veganism as beneficial to both health and the environment. Veganism’s benefit to health is questionable. It can be difficult to obtain adequate protein on a vegan diet. Its … [Read more...]

Time to End Ethanol Mandate and Subsidies

by E. Calvin Beisner

Seven years ago Indur Goklany, an economist formerly with the U.S. Department of the Interior and associated with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change since its inception in 1988 as an author, expert reviewer, and U.S. delegate to the organization, concluded a thorough analysis of the effect of American biofuels policy on the world's poor with these words: ... the production of biofuels [in the U.S.] may have led to at least 192,000 additional deaths and 6.7 million additional lost … [Read more...]

Does Monsanto’s Roundup (Glyphosate) Cause Disease?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Recently a friend asked me to evaluate an apparently scientifically substantial article that concluded that glyphosate—the active ingredient in Roundup, one of the world’s most widely used artificial pesticides—has caused a dramatic increase in a variety of diseases such as autism, inflammation, immune disorders, gluten intolerance, celiac disease, and cancer. I’ve been shown various “studies” in the past making similar claims but have always seen quickly that they weren’t based on sound … [Read more...]

The Food Morality Movement & Health

by Stephen Vantassel

It is truly a strange occurrence to see how a vocal portion of our culture is more concerned about “what you eat than who you have sex with.” I forgot where I saw that statement, but it isn’t too much of an overstatement. How often have you reached for this or that food and been told that item is killing you; a statement often accompanied with a smug self-righteous look? In fact, being obsessed with “healthy eating” is a disease called “orthexia nervosa.”  While plenty of dietary habits can … [Read more...]

Where the Buffalo Roamed—and Roam Again

by E. Calvin Beisner

As a child in a good elementary school in the small town of Owego, New York, in the early 1960s, I learned dozens of old folk songs. Among them was “Home on the Range,” which I, like many of my fellow students, loved to sing, feeling all romantic about life on the range—ridin’ your faithful horse, sleepin’ under the stars, shootin’ rattlesnakes, tamin’ wild horses, herdin’ cattle, and singin’ ’round the campfire. Of course, none of us had ever seen the range, other than in cowboy Westerns, but … [Read more...]

Zika vs. Global Warming—What’s Obama’s Priority?

by E. Calvin Beisner

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the number of cases of the Zika virus in the U.S. has grown from 107 in February to 618 as of June 1. The virus has people all over the world scared. Though it poses little threat to healthy adults, babies in the wombs of infected mothers can suffer catastrophic birth defects. So of course President Barack Obama is asking Congress for $1.8 billion to fight it. But just how serious is he about it? Well, Congress last December gave the … [Read more...]

Three Cheers for Hunger?

by E. Calvin Beisner

The Smithsonian.com, a reliable cheerleader for global warming alarmism, published a celebratory article yesterday reporting that carbon dioxide injected into the earth in Iceland turned into rock, promising to offset global warming from CO2 emissions. But while continuing research keeps reducing the amount of warming estimated to eventuate from CO2 emissions, other continuing research confirms again and again that adding CO2 to the atmosphere does wonders for plants---and everything that … [Read more...]

Christianity, Veganism, and Animal Suffering

by Stephen Vantassel

Last month, I discussed how Christianity cannot impose veganism on its adherents because doing so would violate the freedom we have in Christ as well as our lordship over creation. In other words, humans are superior to animals and thus eating animals is within the bounds of the created order. But I also noted that animal rights is not the only reason employed by anti-meat eaters to support their cause. One of the more emotionally compelling arguments is what can be called the argument from … [Read more...]

Whither Global Food Shortage Predictions?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Less than two years ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which wants us to trust its prognostications about conditions a century from now enough to bet trillions on them, warned that global warming threatened global food supplies. But last week The New Indian Express reported, “International food prices dipped by 19 percent in the last year, the fourth consecutive annual fall .” Stop and think about that for a moment. In 2014 the IPCC’s Working Group II warned that … [Read more...]

Why Christians Don’t Impose Veganism

by Stephen Vantassel

Veganism is the lifestyle philosophy of people that avoid eating, wearing, or using animal products or their by-products. They don’t eat meat or the products that derive from animals, even when the animal is not killed, such as milk. Now the rationales for adopting this lifestyle vary. Some do it for alleged health benefits, others for supposed environmental reasons, and other still on the basis of some ethical theory about not wanting animals to suffer (cf. Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation). Of … [Read more...]
