Obesogens: An Environmental Link to Obesity | | Obesity is rising steadily around the world. Convincing evidence suggests that diet and activity level are not the only factors in this trend—chemical “obesogens” may alter human metabolism and predispose some people to gain weight. Fetal and early-life exposures to certain obesogens may alter some individuals’ metabolism and fat-cell makeup for life. Other obesogenic effects are linked to adulthood exposures.

Welcome to Maine, Sunshine State of the North |  By Denis Thoet – y my count, Maine has more sunny and partly sunny days per year than any other New England state. In the four years since 2008, Maine (at least here at Long Meadow Farm) has averaged 205 sunny days, with a high of 241 in 2011 and a low of 184 in 2009. By contrast, Nashua, N.H., averages 201; Burlington, Vt., 159, and Springfield, Mass., 134. | | 2/3/2012 12:00:00 AM |
The hub: a promising experiment in food processing for small farms |  By Barry Estabrook – Take pity on male baby goats. Their sisters look forward to long lives providing milk for cheese or fiber for yarn. But for most goatherds in this country, bucklings, as the little fellows are called, are inconvenient byproducts. With no infrastructure for the processing and distribution of their meat, many young bucks are simply euthanized and their carcasses discarded. | | 2/2/2012 12:00:00 AM |
