Artist Hong Yi Plays with her Food for 30 Days
For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web, but if you haven’t seen it all head over to her Facebook and read an interview on designboom. Photos will also be appearing on her Instagram at @redhongyi.

People are led to believe that Goats’ milk comes from happy animals on small rural farms. Well, that’s what the industry wants you to believe. Many people switch from cows’ milk to goat because they think it’s more humane. The irony is that all the problems that exist to produce cows’ milk exist in goat farming, too. Mothers and kids are separated after a few days so her milk can be taken. Females are used to replenish the herd, but males can’t produce milk - they are either killed at birth or kept for meat. Please watch and share this short video and make others aware of the truth. (m)http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BKQl5lgSd4k
