Angry Farmers Protest Against Japanese Nuke Plant Owner
By not in system - AOL NewsTOKYO -- Angry farmers brought two cows to Tokyo where they shouted and punched the air Tuesday in a protest to demand compensation for products contaminated by radiation spewing from Japan's crippled nuclear plant.

Lawsuit Questioning Taco Bell's Beef Is Dropped
By not in system - AOL NewsLOUISVILLE, Ky. - An Alabama-based law firm said Monday it has withdrawn its class-action lawsuit that sought to force Taco Bell to stop calling the meat it serves "beef." The lawsuit, filed in January in federal court in California, alleged that what Taco Bell calls "seasoned beef" is a meat mixture that has binders and extenders and does not meet federal requirements to be labeled beef.

The commission is scheduled next week to roll out its long-awaited public database on the safety of consumer products. For the first time, it will allow shoppers to quickly determine whether products they ...
Pompeii Exhibit Shines Light on Buried City
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- A new exhibition from Italy that opens today in New York's Discovery Times Square captures the last gasp of the ancient city of Pompeii before it was buried under volcanic ash, mud and rock when Mount Vesuvius erupted 2,000 years ago. Copies of body casts that researchers made from the skeletal remains of residents buried alive are an eerie part of the exhibit -- a crouching man covers his mouth, a chained dog appears contorted, a family of four huddle together. A short film recreates what Pompeians might have felt as they tried to escape. The museum's floor vibrates as the ...
Britain Freezes Sales of Breast Milk Ice Cream
By David Moye - AOL NewsBritish officials have stopped a London ice cream parlor from selling a frozen dairy treat made from human breast milk amid concerns that the unusual dessert may not be safe.

Opinion: Taco Bell Suit Exposes Ignorance About Meat
By not in system - AOL NewsShortly after the news about the Taco Bell lawsuit came out, I and my students started to monitor the media coverage about the "beef over beef." What we found was that, while the lawsuit offers American consumers a valuable lesson about what we eat, when it comes to reporting about what the meat really is made of, most journalists aren't exactly being accurate. The lawsuit, for those who haven't been following the case, alleges that Taco Bell was falsely claiming the meat filling used in its tacos and burritos to be beef, since only a small percentage was actually meat.
