Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Más vegetales, menos animales aborda el tema de la alimentación vegetal, desmontando falsas creencias y proporcionando argumentos científicos que la avalan. La adopción de pautas alimentarias que dejan total o parcialmente de lado los productos de origen animal es considerada por la población, en ocasiones, una mera opción ideológica, carente de fundamento científico y hasta perniciosa para la salud. De entre dichas pautas, conocidas como «dietas basadas en plantas» ( plant-based diets), destacan el vegetarianismo y el veganismo. Frente a ello, Julio Basulto y Juanjo Cáceres muestran por qué, de acuerdo con el conocimiento científico disponible, el patrón dietético que se relaciona con una mejor calidad de vida y, también, con una mayor esperanza de vida puede sintetizarse en la siguiente máxima: «Más vegetales, menos animales y nada o casi nada de carnes procesadas y alimentos superfluos». Los autores revisan también en esta obra aspectos históricos de la alimentación y de la hominización, desmintiendo que la alimentación basada en vegetales sea una moda reciente, así como las cuestiones ambientales, éticas e incluso económicas que avalan también optar por esta pauta dietética.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: The choice of diets that completely, or partially, exclude animal products is sometimes considered by many a mere ideological choice, lacking a scientific foundation and even harmful to their health. Among these diets known as "plant-based", the most popular are vegetarianism and veganism. In this book, Julio Basulto and Juanjo Cáceres show why, according to scientific data, diets associated with a better quality of life and also a longer life expectancy can be summarized this way: "More vegetables, less animals, and almost no processed meats or excessive foods". The authors also review the history of food and human evolution, denying that plant-based diets are a recent trend, as well as environmental aspects, ethical and even economic issues that also choose to endorse this dietary pattern.

This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] sharply observed study . . . richly detailed portraits.”—Economist Somini Sengupta emigrated from Calcutta to California as a young child in 1975. Returning thirty years later as the bureau chief for The New York Times, she found a vastly different country: one defined as much by aspiration and possibility—at least by the illusion of possibility—as it is by the structures of sex and caste. The End of Karma is an exploration of this new India through the lens of young people from different worlds: a woman who becomes a Maoist rebel; a brother charged for the murder of his sister, who had married the “wrong” man; a woman who opposes her family and hopes to become a police officer. Driven by aspiration—and thwarted at every step by state and society—they are making new demands on India’s democracy for equality of opportunity, dignity for girls, and civil liberties. Sengupta spotlights these stories of ordinary men and women, weaving together a groundbreaking portrait of a country in turmoil.
Download or read book Should We Eat Meat written by Vaclav Smil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meat eating is often a contentious subject, whether considering the technical, ethical, environmental, political, or health-related aspects of production and consumption. This book is a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination and critique of meat consumption by humans, throughout their evolution and around the world. Setting the scene with a chapter on meat’s role in human evolution and its growing influence during the development of agricultural practices, the book goes on to examine modern production systems, their efficiencies, outputs, and impacts. The major global trends of meat consumption are described in order to find out what part its consumption plays in changing modern diets in countries around the world. The heart of the book addresses the consequences of the "massive carnivory" of western diets, looking at the inefficiencies of production and at the huge impacts on land, water, and the atmosphere. Health impacts are also covered, both positive and negative. In conclusion, the author looks forward at his vision of “rational meat eating”, where environmental and health impacts are reduced, animals are treated more humanely, and alternative sources of protein make a higher contribution. Should We Eat Meat? is not an ideological tract for or against carnivorousness but rather a careful evaluation of meat's roles in human diets and the environmental and health consequences of its production and consumption. It will be of interest to a wide readership including professionals and academics in food and agricultural production, human health and nutrition, environmental science, and regulatory and policy making bodies around the world.

Download or read book The Voluntary Food Intake of Farm Animals written by J. M. Forbes and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voluntary Food Intake of Farm Animals offers a wide discussion on food intake among farm animals. The book presents various studies, facts, details, and theories that are relevant to the subject. The first chapter begins by explaining the basic definition and significance of voluntary food intake. This topic is followed by discussions on meal patterns, the main features of eating, and the similarities between species. The next chapter explores theories about the food intake control, which are divided into two types: single-factor theories and multiple-factor theories. In Chapter 3, the discussion is on the food’s pathway, including elaborations on the various receptors. Chapter 4 considers the central nervous system’s involvement in the voluntary food intake and the energy balance regulation. The next couple of chapters highlight the possible reasons that affect food intake; among them are pregnancy, fattening, physical growths, and the environment. In the book’s remaining chapters, the discussion revolves around grass intake and the prediction and manipulation of voluntary food intake. The book serves as a valuable reference for undergraduates and postgraduates of biology and its related fields.

Download or read book Recognition and Alleviation of Pain in Laboratory Animals written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of animals in research adheres to scientific and ethical principles that promote humane care and practice. Scientific advances in our understanding of animal physiology and behavior often require theories to be revised and standards of practice to be updated to improve laboratory animal welfare. Recognition and Alleviation of Pain in Laboratory Animals, the second of two reports revising the 1992 publication Recognition and Alleviation of Pain and Distress in Laboratory Animals from the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR), focuses on pain experienced by animals used in research. This book aims to educate laboratory animal veterinarians; students, researchers and investigators; Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee members; and animal care staff and animal welfare officers on the current scientific and ethical issues associated with pain in laboratory animals. It evaluates pertinent scientific literature to generate practical and pragmatic guidelines for recognizing and alleviating pain in laboratory animals, focusing specifically on the following areas: physiology of pain in commonly used laboratory species; pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic principles to control pain; identification of humane endpoints; and principles for minimizing pain associated with experimental procedures. Finally, the report identifies areas in which further scientific investigation is needed to improve laboratory animal welfare.
