→ Animals react to secret sounds from plants, say scientists

“[F]emale moths avoided laying their eggs on tomato plants if they made noises they associated with distress, indicating that they may be unhealthy.”
a recent New Yorker magazine had a bunch of egg art for the space filler drawings, so I clipped out all the #eggs and here they are

When did sentient life become a product?
A cow into leather. A hen into an egg machine.
In a world where even the sacred is stripped for profit,
Life, love, freedom, and dignity are shrink-wrapped and sold unless someone resists.
You can’t save everything.
But you can stop participating.
Let your life be a quiet refusal
Not to the world, but to the lie that this is normal.
Female #locusts are adapted to depositing #eggs deep into the soil. This study shows that the Tra/Dsx-JHBP pathway regulates expression of two #female-specific proteins that induce #oviposition behavior & highly extensible abdominal intersegmental membranes @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4m6APK5
We lost the last hen from our first flock this morning. She was a few days older than 5 years old.
Eggs are off the hook—study reveals bacon’s the real heart risk
"In a world-first study, researchers examined the independent effects of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat on LDL cholesterol (the 'bad' kind), finding that eating two eggs a day - as part of a high cholesterol but low saturated fat diet - can actually reduce LDL levels and lower the risk of heart disease.
So, when it comes to a cooked breakfast, it's not the eggs you need to worry about - it's the extra serve of bacon or the side of sausage that's more likely to impact your heart health."

Eggs are on the menu in the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge SF Bay May 2025 #bird #birds #donedwards #eggs #photography #nature #nikon #NaturePhotograhpy
A dietary study of over 1,000 80-year olds, followed for 7 years, found that higher egg consumption was associated with lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease. Those who ate eggs at least once per week had approximately half the risk of those who ate eggs less than once per month. The choline in eggs is suggested to be a possible reason for this association.

No more selective updates, Best Western. It’s time to fully report on cage-free eggs for every owned, operated, and franchised location. https://chng.it/5yrsbQ5s5N
Should you keep eggs in the fridge? Europeans and Americans have different answers. But what does the science say?
@popsci takes a look: https://flip.it/7AGM-Y
I bought eggs for the first time this year and hard-boiled all 60 of them. The photo I took looks like someone asked AI to make a photo of eggs going to the movie. Keeping a clean fridge makes it look fake, too.
Starting 1st July 2025! #Switzerland is implementing mandatory labelling on animal-based food products, including #meat, #milk, and #eggs, to disclose if animals experienced painful procedures without anaesthesia.
This includes practices like #castration #dehorning, #TailDocking, and #TeethClipping.
We applaud this introduction, as #consumers have a right to more transparency about the cruel processes to make more informed and #ethical choices.
