It is requiring its pork suppliers to create plans for phasing out gestation crates, which I described in an earlier blog post: &#160; Gestation crates are small metal cages only two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lactation is not a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth, and firing someone who wants to pump breast milk is not sex discrimination, according to a federal judge in Texas. This decision is a stumper. Lactation occurs because of and immediately following pregnancy and childbirth, which makes it &#8220;related&#8221; to them. Only women lactate, [...]]]></description>

The university&#8217;s website continues, the &#8220;research demonstrates when people [...]]]></description>
