Corporate farming
Corporate farming is the practice of large-scale agriculture on farms owned or greatly influenced by large companies. This includes corporate ownership of farms and selling of agricultural products, as well as the roles of these companies in influencing agricultural education, research, and public policy through funding initiatives and lobbying efforts.
The definition and effects of corporate farming on agriculture are widely debated, though sources that describe large businesses in agriculture as "corporate farms" may portray them negatively.

Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle. Therefore, on Earth, volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging, and most are found underwater. For example, a mid-oceanic

History of pizza
The history of pizza begins in antiquity, when various ancient cultures produced basic flatbreads with several toppings.
A precursor of pizza was probably the focaccia, a flat bread known to the Romans as , to which toppings were then added. Modern pizza developed in Naples when tomato was added to the focaccia in the late 18th century.
The word "pizza" was first documented in 997 A.D. in Gaeta and successively in different parts of Central and Southern Italy. Pizza was mainly eaten in Italy and

called pizzettas.
The term "pizza" was first recorded in the 10th century in a Latin manuscript from the Southern Italian town of Gaeta in Lazio, on the border with Campania. Modern pizza was invented in Naples, and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many countries. It has become one of the most popular foods in the world and a common fast food item in Europe and North America, available at pizzerias (restaurants specializing in pizza), restaurants offering Mediterranean cuisine, and via pizza delivery

Well I applaud you. I don't have the discipline for it. What types of health benefits does veganism bring?
If you eat a well planned vegan diet, it can reduce the risks of certain types of chronic disease like heart disease.
That's a good benefit, but what about with respect to the GI system? I imagine it would keep things pretty...regular, right?
I don't have any issues. Veganism is also acceptable for all stages of life including during infancy and pregnancy.
Why do you think people who are vegan are usually so insufferable about it? You obviously aren't, but I'm just asking in general.
I guess it's an ethical thing. People abstain from eating animals and it makes them feel better than other people.
That air of superiority turns a lot of people off from veganism I think, because people start to see it as a culture rather than a set of dietary choices.

Meat
Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food. Humans have hunted and killed animals for meat since prehistoric times. The advent of civilization allowed the domestication of animals such as chickens, sheep, rabbits, pigs and cattle. This eventually led to their use in meat production on an industrial scale with the aid of slaughterhouses.
Meat is mainly composed of water, protein, and fat. It is edible raw, but is normally eaten after it has been cooked and seasoned or processed in a variety of ways

Human height
Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, usually in centimetres when using the metric system, or feet and inches when using the imperial system.
A particular genetic profile in men called Y haplotype I-M170 is correlated with height. Ecological data shows that as the frequency of this genetic profile increases in the population, the average male height in a country also increases.

Extinction
In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "

i have not seen one, but i have always been very interested in them and want to see one soon. Have you ?
I actually have not, but I have seen mny in shows and movies, that was such a brutal war I do not know why we bring it back up
Yes it was brutal. I just read an interesting fact that Civil War reenacting began before the real fighting was even over !!
Wow, I wonder who thought of doing that, that must not have been a tasteful showing!
I know the battles recreated today are kind of a special way veterans can honor fallen comrades and a form of education but i cant imagine doing it while the war was ongoing.

It's unconventional and has this long dip in the middle, which to me is like the movie moment where you close your eyes and see "Inception" or "Interstellar". I love that kind of stuff but I thought people wouldn't."

Have you ever heard of Crystal healing?
No, I haven't. Explain it to me.
Basically people believe that crystals have healing powers.
Do you believe they have healing powers?

, scientific investigations have not validated claims that chakras or energy grids actually exist, nor is there any evidence that crystal healing has any greater effect upon the body than any other placebo; for these reasons it is considered a pseudoscience.

Have you seen The Flintstones? It's my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoon.
I watched them a lot when I was a kid, I know that much. Haven't seen it in a long time. Cartoons were somewhat more wholesome back then.

Do you know anyone who is divorced? My friend recently got divorced.
Actually I don't know anyone personally who's divorced. I'm sorry about your friend. Was the divorce amicable?

How old are the children? Old enough to weigh in on which parent to live with?
No I don't believe the children were consulted. They are younger and were not involved as far as I know.

Their abdomens bear appendages that have been modified into spinnerets that extrude silk from up to six types of glands. Spider webs vary widely in size, shape and the amount of sticky thread used.
