1. Factory Farms Transmit Diseases
Neal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible
Medicine (PCRM), provides invaluable insight on the true cause of many

Although contaminated peanut butter with salmonella is to blame, Dr.
Barnard rightly points at the source of salmonella: factory farms.

outbreaks among humans
What will it take for us, humans, to realize the tremendous
devastation that industrial agriculture causes in God's Creation? Our
health, the environment and animals are at the mercy of our actions.

We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can
nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are. ~ Adelle

3. Cruciferous Health News
A new study from the University of California, Los Angeles, has found
that Sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables including broccoli,
cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and collards, may help reduce the risk of

4. (RSV) Ephesians 6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his
might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
We live in a world full of struggles and challenges that we must face
daily. By placing ourselves in the hands of God and following Jesus'
teachings of compassion and mercy we are able to withstand it all.

When we cause misery to God's animals, it comes around to us as well.
The unimaginable suffering that pigs suffer in factory farms has no
excuse, and shows our deplorable sense of stewardship. In other words,
we reap what we sow.
