The Poison Milk From China and related youtube videos on milk itself

This video shows why we shouldn't milk cows because it is unnatural and human beings deprive calves the milk for ourselves. The words used are deliberated to evoke sympathy and compassion but I suppose there is some truth about the diet change - do we still need milk after we mature into solid foods? Perhaps we can still find a sustainable source of food from vegetables without plying into the supplies of milk for those calves.



I am currently following the incident on the poison milk incident from China and came across a youtube video which advocates that milk is actually a poison to the human bodies. I ain't a scientist and I haven't got the book mentioned in the video but the hormones argument and the glue argument stick in my head though - the milk is meant for calves, not humans and the extra hormones in the milk may not necessarily do human beings good. I don't think the cancin (the glue component) is good for my digestive system either (if what that author advocates is right). Maybe those readers who are knowledgeable in such things can enlighten everyone else on the tagboard?

Given the current string of kidney stones-causing milk from China, and the recent move that AVA of Singapore are taking so many milk-related products from China off the shelves in the country, I am stopping my personal consumption of as many milk-related products from China as I can manage because until the mess clears up, it's better not to gamble my health on foods which I can do without.

Water Exhibition at Singapore Science Centre

Last Thursday was an interesting day because one of my tuition lessons was converted into a field excursion into Singapore Science Centre. This was actually at the request of a parent who wanted her children to learn about Science first-hand.

One of the exhibits was the Water Barrage where a huge water reservoir will be built at the Marina Bay area in order to store more water and create some water recreational area as well. I was impressed - this is one of the things Singapore did well to plan ahead for and the need will be absolutely crucial. A nice polar bear exhibit to show how natural water resources are depleted can threaten our survival. I love this shot because of the lighting, making the polar bear looks more life-like. Then again, I am just bragging it myself..hahaha. It looks like water, right? It isn't. The illusion is created using undulating glass to form the supposed ripples of the water. Pretty? A nice, revolving globe which has moving images on it. This is made possible by four projectors from four corners. It's a cool concept and the globe was one of the most beautiful exhibits on the exhibitions. I will try to remember this exhibit technical layout as an idea if I am to design my own exhibition in the future. This was dinner at some Bah Ku Teh place at Kallang with The Busy Bee on last Saturday evening. The soup was really spicy but the pork ribs were delicious and I was completely stuffed by the time dinner was over. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy but the omelette was abit soggy and bland.

Time to bathe. Long day tomorrow for me. Goodnight my blog readers! =D
