Watch this video on an experience driving a VW getting an incredible 70+ miles per gallon, but only in other countries. Apparently, the engine's emissions are too high (when measured by the gallon but not by the mile) for North America. Hmmm . . .

The US National Cattlemen's Association is at it again with another video on Beltway Beef - this time with the Regulatory Train Wreck Blues. Boggles the mind when beef can be imported from other countries with much less interference. Worth a watch and a laugh.

The Environmental Protection Agency in the US now wants to regulate farm dust. Yes, really. Dust from a pick up truck, dust from moving cattle. Watch the "Over Regulation All Across the Nation Blues" video produced by the National Cattleman's Beef Association.

Interesting study mentioned at Agwired.com that found those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage. It also confirms other findings which shows that overall human brain sizes have reduced by an average 11 percent since we adopted an agricultural diet based on cereal grains rather than the meat-based diet of our Palaeolithic ancestors. Read about it HERE. Always knew

Whether this story paints the truth or not, it does seem a bit bizarre that guinea pigs could cause a search of a home. Be careful what you import (knowingly or not)! Intrigued? Read the details as found at TheStar.com  HERE.

Animal regulations in Europe cover almost everything, including the quality of the straw your cows lay upon. In this case it seems the UK "county mounties" got a little carried away and proved they didn't really know the business or rules they were paid to enforce, resulting in a court case that was sheer "bureaucratic lunacy". Beware, all this is likely to happen on this side of the pond some

New media is making is presence felt everywhere - even in marketing milk and dairy products. A rap video from Yeo Valley Organic Dairy in Britain is scoring incredible views on the internet and growing daily. A downloadable ringtone is even available on the Yeo Valley website HERE. Yeo - hay - represent the west! (But where's the beef???)

Some people will do ANYTHING! I'll never look at a square baler the same way again. Warning - the guy in this gets naked (although you don't see much).

AgWired.com reports "Lady Gaga definitely won the prize for most outrageous outfit at the MTV awards . . . with an all-meat ensemble complete with hat, shoes and purse that people are still talking about" (read the story). Do take note that PETA thinks the outfit was "over the top" - can you imagine? For photos and answers to your burning questions, like: was it comfortable? was it hot? did it

Have you seen just how BIG 'Big Bud' is? All 27 feet long, 20 feet wide, 14 feet tall and weighing 100,000 pounds of him? The world's largest tractor was one of the biggest draws at this year's Farm Progress Show. Read the details and watch a video on Big Bud on Agwired.com HERE.

Not much that isn't crazy can be said about this video, except that so far more than 4.2 million people have watched Cows & Cows & Cows (and "no animals were harmed during the making of this video, though their future prospects probably aren't as optimistic").

With the internet dubbed "an open sewer", the Whitehouse, the USDA and the media are all backtracking over a "supposed" racially charged video and resulting firing. Read about it at AgWired.com. (Only in the US of A . . . - if it's on the internet, it must be true, right???)

Great blog about the (silly) lawsuit against Google Maps for telling a woman to cross the street and not warning her that she might be hit by a car (which she did). When in doubt, sue! Read it HERE.

An incredible video from MSNBC.com on the current oil spill is a feature on Madville.com and making the rounds as a viral email. Be sure to check it out HERE. The old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But what if it is still broke and hasn't been fixed in the last 30 years???
