Half my twitter feed is articles complaining that bill 156 stops people from knowing what happens in livestock barns. The other half is farmers tweeting pictures from inside the barn lol #AgTwitter

[National Cattle Feeders @NACattleFeeders]

There are some inaccuracies within this @TorontoStar piece:

- In Canada, beef is raised on marginal land & fed grain and products unfit for human consumption
- Grass finished beef produces 5x the GHG emissions vs grain finished feedlot beef

Stopped in at Hiram Walker for a tour and tasting. Amazing to hear about the impact whiskey had on Canada’s history and economy #grainsinaction @CDNWhiskyDoc

@whit0229 @RubertoPeter @UofGFoodProf Sugar is an important ingredient in food processing. Besides sweetening foods, sugar has a strong water binding ability and can be used to increase boiling point or decrease freezing points, increase viscosity, and serve as energy for fermentation. #Clemens #food2150

@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Fats contain almost double the energy value per gram than carbohydrates and proteins. Lipid dense foods would have helped ensure survival in primal human nutrition. This explains our instinct to indulge in fatty foods. #Marangoni #food2150 #assignment

[Tom Bowman @TomBowman__]

@UofGFoodProf Peas can be used to mimic animal proteins by hydrolyzing the proteins to form peptide fibrils which are similar to meat. Could this be a way to increase demand for field peas? #Munialo #assignment #food2150
