Its time to retire the Pyrmi. Yes, its shpe ws ppeig. A itsmessge ws ressurig. Whether you grvitte towr the gris,ruits, vegetbes t its bse, or the mets iry proucts pictureo its upper eves, the Pyrmi h you covere. But tht ws excty theprobem.

Action Alert
Contact the FDA AboutAnimal Testing
Every day, thousands of animals are expemented on and killed to create and test drugmany of which will never help a sick human b
ing. Thats why PCRM and an international coa

organizations filed the Mandatory AlternativPetition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administr

of validated nonanimal testing methods, whe
those alternatives exist, to create safer drugs f
American consumers.
The FDA is currently reviewing the initiative. Du

urge the agency to mandate the use of validate
alternatives to animal tests. Please write to:

A Side of Carbon Emissions
Swedish diners are now
aware of the carbon footprint
of their meals. New food
labels include the green-
house gas emissions used
to produce the product.
Meat production is a leading
source of greenhouse gasses.
Experts believe the labels
could help reduce Swedens
culinary carbon footprint by
as much as 25 to 50 percent.
Butter Ban
A leading London heart sur-
geon has called for a ban on
butter. Shyam Kolvekar, M.D.,
says a butter ban could save
thousands of lives by reduc-
ing saturated fat intake. Healso advises people to eat
less meat.
Ancient ArteriesCT scans of Egyptian mummies show evidence of heart dis-
ease, which is usually thought of as a disease caused by the
modern diet and sedentary lifestyles. High-status Egyptians
ate a diet high in fatty meat from cattle, geese, and ducks.
French Women Do Get Fat
The myth that French women
stay slim forever has been
exposed after new statistics
revealed that 15 percent of
French women are obese.
The trend for ever-meatier di-
ets, including more fast food,
has not spared France.
Patent Pending
Wild spider monkeys have
invented a new toola body
scratcher that may release
medicinal compounds. Sci-
entists observed spider mon-
keys using small sticks and
branches to scratch them-selves. The monkeys chewed
the tools tips between
scratches, possibly to release
medicinal compounds from
the plants.
Big Win for Animals
The Swiss Supreme Court
recently ruled against the
Polytechnic School of the
University of Zurich, whose
researchers wanted to
conduct two neurological
experiments on macaques.The experiments would
have involved the maximum
suering of animals on the
Swiss scale of severity with
no direct benet for human
health.
New Center Honors Gandhi
The Mahatma Gandhi-Doerenkamp Centre for Alternatives to
Animal Use in Life Science Education opened in October at
Bharathidasan University in Tiruchirappalli, India. The open-
ing marked the 140th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhis birth
and will promote humane science, blending the political and
spiritual leaders philosophy of nonviolence with life science
education.
Vegetarian Strongman
Joe Rollino once lifted 635
pounds with one nger. He
could bend quarters with
his bare hands. Reputed to
be the strongest man in the
world, Joe was a lifelong veg-etarian. He nally died at age
104 after being struck by a
minivan while walking in his
Brooklyn neighborhood.
Caterpillar Meat?
Some scientists are push-
ing lawmakers to consider
replacing beef with crickets
and caterpillars to combat
climate change. The Food
and Agriculture Organiza-
tion of the United Nations is
expected to release policy
guidelines later this year
encouraging countries to
include insects in their food
security plans.
A Royal Feast
This past fall, Englands Windsor Castle threw a vegan feast for
200 dignitaries from around the world as part of the Celebra-
tion of Faiths and the Environment. The royal banquet was
hosted by the Duke of Edinburgh.
Smart Chicks
Scientists in Italy have
observed that chicks only
three or four days old can do
simple arithmetic. With no
training, chicks were able to
keep track of object shifts
representing math problems
such as 4-2=2.
And Speaking of Spiders
A spider living in Central
America and Mexico turns
out to be a vegan. Named
after an agile panther in Rud-
yard Kiplings 1894 childrens
classic, The Jungle Book,
Bagheera kiplingi jumping
spiders must dodge armies of
ants to get to
