Predators starve as humans plunder oceans

Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson described the human race as, "The most
devastating meteorite to hit the planet."

Humanity's arrogance cannot be quenched.

In a compelling story written by UK's, The Independent, Geoffrey Leans
said, "Marine giants go hungry as fleets scoop up their prey for our fish
suppers. April 19, 2009.
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/nature/predators-starve-as-we-plunder-oceans-1671066.html

For the past 20 years, as reported by Look Magazine in 1991 and Mother
Jones News in 2008, human beings kill 100 million sharks every year,
primarily for their fins, and toss their lingering carcasses back into the
oceans.  Humans slaughter millions of seals, whales, dolphins and other
mammals in drift nets cut away from ships to continue killing on the ocean
floor.

But now, according to Leans, "Starving sea life - from whales to puffins,
tuna to seals - is being found all over the world's oceans, as the food on
which it depends is being fished out, startling new evidence shows. And
much of the depletion, ironically, is caused by raising captive fish - for
the table.

"New figures from the Food and Agriculture Organization show that the
small fish on which birds and marine mammals feed have become the
main target of fishing fleets since stocks of bigger fish have become
exhausted. Four times as much of these "prey fish" are now brought to
shore as half a century ago, and seven of the world's largest 10 fisheries
now go after them."
>
"More than four-fifths of this catch does not go directly to feed people,
but is ground up into fish oil and fish meal and increasingly used to raise
carnivorous species such as salmon in fish farms," Leans said. "A
captive fish needs up to one pound of food to put on a single pound in
weight. And, as a result, there is less and less left for its natural predators."

"We have caught most of the big fish and are now going after their food,"
says Margot Stiles, a marine scientist for Oceana, the leading international
sea protection pressure group."
>>
"A new report by the group, Hungry Oceans, describes how "scrawny
predators - dolphins, sea bass and even whales - have turned up on
coastlines all over the world," adding that scientists are finding them and
seabirds "emaciated from lack of food, vulnerable to disease and without
enough energy to reproduce," said Leans.

>Not mentioned in the report, humans dump billions of plastic containers
into the oceans.  One thousand miles off San Francisco, a three million
ton floating patch of plastic, called, "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch"
swirls around in an area twice the size of Texas.  Those containers,
including, Styrofoam, stick in the stomachs of birds, whales, turtles,
dolphins and other marine life - to kill by the millions.  The problem
remains: the death of those marine animals assures that the plastics will
be recycled for more death and destruction of life in endless cycles.

>>Additionally, sea life suffers from toxic dead zones at the mouths of
major rivers from India, U.S., China, Brazil, Peru, Argentina and Europe.
Humanity spits its thousands of chemicals into those rivers in the form of
insecticides, herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.  Those dead zones range
from 10,000 square miles at the mouth of the Mississippi to 27,000 square
miles in the North Sea. Very few vertebrates can live in those toxic waters.
Our oceans have become the final toilet for human waste.

Not mentioned in the report, humans discard billions upon billions of
pieces of glass, metal, chemical and plastic waste that rolls around the
ocean floor like a child's messy playroom.   In this case, it destroys
habitat for all marine creatures.

With another added three billion humans in the next 41 years, does any
marine life or land life on earth stand a chance of surviving the 21st century?

A small leap from arrogantly being part of the problem, to proudly being
part of the solution, don't you think?

A small leap from proudly thinking you're part of a solution, to being

Attempting to stop die-hard lemmings is probably futile.

Not proper format.
To remind you the regression you speak of is likely linear, so the
regression equation would appear not at all unlike the equation of a
line. Try again.

'Excerpts transcribed from the
"Nutrition For Optimum Health"
VIDEO
with Michael Klaper, MD
...
Dr. Michael Klaper:
Medicine has been fascinating to me because it constantly teaches me something
if I'm open to it. Back in the 1850's the German philosopher, Goethe said, "what
you know about you see" once you know about something you start seeing it
everywhere and this is certainly true about medicine and it is certainly true when
it comes to nutrition and I want to increase your viewing of things that you may
know about so you start seeing things differently, especially when it comes time
to order your next meal in a restaurant or when you are pushing your cart down
the supermarket isles trying to decide what to bring home for dinner.

My nutritional awakening began when I was on the cardiovascular anesthesia
service, and that's the service that deals with people's hearts and blood vessels.
And one evening I was making rounds to see a patient who was scheduled for
a four-vessel coronary by-pass several days hence and the man had been out
on a day-pass with his family before surgery, quite a common practice. He had
returned to the hospital rather late and the nurse notified me that there were
several blood tests that were missing off his chart that we needed to repeat and
so she asked if I would draw blood on the man, which I happily did. And I
drew some of his blood into a glass tube and I brought it to the nurse's station
and I let it sit there while I got busy with some work in the ward and an hour
and a half latter I went back to the nurse's station to take the blood tube down
to the laboratory, and what I saw in the blood tube gave me a rude awakening.

When you draw blood into a glass tube and allow it to sit there for a couple
of hours, it separates out into two parts.

[  ]

Here is normal blood on the left and you see the red clot on the bottom and
the clear liquid serum has risen up to the top. The serum should be transparent,
you should be able to see through normal serum. However, the blood in my
patient's tube looked very different. The serum that was floating on top of his
clot was thick and greasy white, it looked like ivory glue when I shook the
tube, the serum stuck to the sides of the tube. I went back into the room.
I said, "Sir, before you came back to the hospital tonight, did you stop off
anywhere from dinner?" He said, "Yes" I said, "Where?" and he said he had
stopped at his local gourmet restaurant and he had his usual fare, and I said,
"What did you have?"

"Well I had a double-bacon steerburger' with extra cheese and a milkshake,"
a common offering at such institutions. And at that point when he said that,
I realized what I was looking at in his blood tube. What was floating on top
of his blood tube was all the beef-fat in the burger, it was all the butterfat in
the cheese, it was the butterfat in the ice-cream, it was the egg yoke fat that
was in the mayonnaise that was slathered on the bun. All the fat that this man
had eaten had oozed out into his bloodstream and turned his blood fatty.
This is a well known phenomenon, it is called lipima and it happens every
time you eat a fatty meal, a wave of fat goes through your bloodstream.
Not everybody shows it this optically densely, but everyone has a wave of
fat going through their bloodstream after a fatty meal, how can it be any
other way?

There's an old saying, "out of sight, out of mind" Might be out of sight,
might be out of your mind, it's certainly not out of your bloodstream after
such a meal. Your body is never "not looking" okay, there's no fooling
your body, you can't tell your body, "Look over there!" and then have a
cheeseburger and "what was that, what was that?" you know. Your body
knows exactly what you eat and your bloodstream, your liver has to deal
with everything you eat and the consequences of each meal build up day
after day, month after month, year after year. The face you see looking in
the mirror is the result of the decisions you've made throughout your life.
Should I eat this, should I not eat that, should I smoke this, should I not
smoke that, should I drink this, should I not drink this. Health is not
something the doctor can apply to you like calamine lotion, health is
something you do on a daily basis and making wise decisions at the
dinner table is one of the best things you can do to assure your health.

I went back to my patient and discussed a bit about his dinner, but there
was not much to say because the fat was already in his blood. What was
especially disturbing to me however, was several days later we took him
down to the operating room. I gave the man a thousand micrograms of
pheontonel and put him to sleep, and the surgeon opened up his chest
and opened up his coronary arteries, and from this man's coronary
arteries he began pulling yellow, greasy, waxy, fatty deposits that look
like this:

[  ]

What you are looking at is the plug of fat that built up in a man's right
coronary artery. The artery was a tube coming out at you from the screen.
The artery wall has been cut away and you are looking at the plug of fat that
built up. The fat started out at the outer edges of the artery wall and as the
months and years go by of these repeated tides of fat flowing through the
arteries, the fat starts building up on the inside of the arteries like scale builds
up in the inside of a hot water pipe. And as the months and years went by
the fat crowded in and crowded in on his blood flow channel till finally only
the small dark area was left for the blood to flow through and when a clot
formed here it stopped the blood flow the his heart, stopped his heart and
bought him a ticket to the autopsy table. This is the number one cause of
death in western societies. In North America every thirty seconds
someone grabs their chest and falls over with a heart attack because this
greasy material is clogging up arteries to their heart. This disease is called
atherosclerosis, the number one cause of death and disease in western
societies.

This material is quite remarkable. When you send it down to the pathologist
and you ask him to do a chemical analysis the report always comes back
the same, saturated fat and cholesterol, essentially it's animal fat. The report
from the pathologist never, ever, ever contains the words remnants of
broccoli, rice and tofu. The good news is this stuff will melt away. If you
clean up your diet and start taking a walk everyday, and get rid of some of
the stress that builds up within you, this is a reversible disease and will melt
away.

Higher levels of insulin-like growth factor-I are associated with cancer, 'btw'.

"Indeed, dietary moderation is a consistent feature of the lives of the superwrinklies.
Protein and animal fat typically play a minimal role in their menus. In Sunchang, for
example, rice and boiled vegetables are a staple. "The white-rice- and-vegetables-
dominated diet consists primarily of carbohydrate, while remaining low in fat," says
Dr. Park Sang Chul, who heads the World Health Organization's aging-research
center in Seoul and has spent three years studying the residents of Sunchang. "Low
fat content is one of the more crucial keys toward longevity." The story is similar
for the locals of Hunza Valley, says Khwaja Khan, a physician in the Hunza town
of Karimabad who has treated many of the valley's eldest residents. The Hunza,
Khan says, were cut off from the outside world for centuries by the 7,000-meter
Himalayan peaks ringing the valley, and until recently were forced to subsist on a
spartan menu of apricots, walnuts, buckwheat cakes and fresh vegetables. Many
cross the century mark, and a few motor on for another 10 years or longer.
