5-Week-Old Kitten Gives Exclusive Interview

Everyone in show business knows that Chandi the Kitten is extremely hard to pin down for interviews. The 5-week-old kitten values her privacy, so getting her to talk on the record can be a challenge.

But citizen journalist Ginnie Lupi has secured an exclusive, on-camera interview that she has shared with The Fluffington Post. In it, she asks the tough questions like, “Are you hungry?”

Too cute. I can’t handle it.

Puffins interact on Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. The island is a sanctuary for puffins and other endangered birds that breed on its rocky coast each summer. Puffins mate in the same pairs for life, yet disperse for the winter.

Puffins why you so cute??

Urinary tract infections linked to… chicken?

While it sounds bizarre, studies from Canadian researchers show that stricter chicken-farm ani-contamination practices may help curb cases of urinary tract infections. In 2010, researchers showed that the most common cause of the infections — E. coli bacteria — can originate in food. In a study published Wednesday, the authors show that chicken is the likely culprit.

The scientists, led by Amee R. Manges of McGill University, tested 320 samples of beef, pork and chicken. They found that the bacteria from beef and pork were far less likely to be genetically related to human urinary tract infection bacteria strains than chicken, which were closely related.

Really….it took research to show people that improving things would lead to less health issues? Some guy got paid way too much to present common sense.
