Cow Manure --> Electricity

jmtpi writes "ABCNews has a story about a dairy farm in Minnesota that uses its cow manure to generate enough electricity to power the farm plus 80 homes and create fertilizer. There's also a more detailed story."

    Did you read about the case recently of the woman convicted of child abuse because her vegan diet harmed her unborn fetus?

    No, I did read a similar case about a two year old that was like 10 pounds or something. I think a vegan diet may work for some people but not for others. My daughter is two years old on a vegetarian (not vegan) diet. She is about a head taller than anyone else her age, not fat, and seems very smart for her age. She also has not been sick or to the doctor besides her normal checkups. If she showed any signs of ill health I would certainly reevaluate her diet. Most kids I know her age have colds or ears infections much of the time. She clearly is much healthier than her freinds on the McDonalds diet! Maybe we should start convicting people who feed their kids this crap.
