65 - Meat
Summary: <p>Meat... seems pretty simple on the surface, but what do we really <em>know </em>about it? Like.. are living things made of meat? Or is meat only meat once it's being eaten? What was the first meat? What was the first thing to eat the first meat? Is eating prehistoric meat a good idea? Do we find the answer to any of these questions in this episode? I can't remember, frankly, but probably a few. </p> <p>Follow us on Twitter @SciShowTangents, where we’ll tweet out topics for upcoming episodes and you can ask the science couch questions! </p> <p><span>While you're at it, check out the Tangents crew on Twitter: Stefan: @itsmestefanchin Ceri: @ceriley Sam: @slamschultz Hank: @hankgreen</span></p> <p><span>If you want to learn more about any of our main topics, check out these links:</span></p> <p><span>[Truth or Fail]</span></p> <p><span>Foal</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-extracted-liquid-blood-42000-year-old-foal-found-siberian-permafrost-180971979/"><span>https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-extracted-liquid-blood-42000-year-old-foal-found-siberian-permafrost-180971979/</span></a></p> <p><span>Bison</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.uaf.edu/museum/press/spotlight/blue-babe/"><span>https://www.uaf.edu/museum/press/spotlight/blue-babe/</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://historythings.com/aged-beef-delicacy-eating-meat-36000-year-old-bison/"><span>https://historythings.com/aged-beef-delicacy-eating-meat-36000-year-old-bison/</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/ancient-bison-stew-blue-babe-alaska"><span>https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/ancient-bison-stew-blue-babe-alaska</span></a></p> <p><span>Crocodile</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ancient-egyptians-hunted-then-mummified-crocodiles-180973197/"><span>https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ancient-egyptians-hunted-then-mummified-crocodiles-180973197/</span></a></p> <p><span>[Fact Off]</span></p> <p><span>Carnivorous Herbivores</span></p> <p><a href="https://bioone.org/journals/Northwestern-Naturalist/volume-99/issue-3/NWN18-05.1/Scavenging-By-Snowshoe-Hares-iLepus-americanusi-In-Yukon-Canada/10.1898/NWN18-05.1.short"><span>https://bioone.org/journals/Northwestern-Naturalist/volume-99/issue-3/NWN18-05.1/Scavenging-By-Snowshoe-Hares-iLepus-americanusi-In-Yukon-Canada/10.1898/NWN18-05.1.short</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-herbivores-arent-poor-chicken-got-eaten-cow-180951115/"><span>https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-herbivores-arent-poor-chicken-got-eaten-cow-180951115/</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bioone.org/journals/Northwestern-Naturalist/volume-99/issue-3/NWN18-05.1/Scavenging-By-Snowshoe-Hares-iLepus-americanusi-In-Yukon-Canada/10.1898/NWN18-05.1.short"><span>https://bioone.org/journals/Northwestern-Naturalist/volume-99/issue-3/NWN18-05.1/Scavenging-By-Snowshoe-Hares-iLepus-americanusi-In-Yukon-Canada/10.1898/NWN18-05.1.short</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.outdoornews.com/2015/03/19/who-knew-tape-shows-deer-raiding-birds-nests/"><span>https://www.outdoornews.com/2015/03/19/who-knew-tape-shows-deer-raiding-birds-nests/</span></a></p> <p><span>Dyeing Salmon</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=738"><span>https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=738</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://nextnature.net/2012/06/dyeing-salmon-pink-for-farms-and-profit"><span>https://nextnature.net/2012/06/dyeing-salmon-pink-for-farms-and-profit</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/The-salmon-struggle-A-fish-by-any-other-color-is-1115339.php"><span>https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/The-salmon-struggle-A-fish-by-any-other-color-is-1115339.php</span></a></p> <p><span>[Ask the Science Couch]</span></p> <p><span>Gamey meat</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0309174015301376"><span>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0309174015301376</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://extension.umn.edu/preserving-and-preparing/cooking-venison-flavor-and-safety"><span>https://extension.umn.edu/preserving-and-preparing/cooking-venison-flavor-and-safety</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6154429/"><span>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6154429/</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bastyr.edu/news/general-news-health-tips-spotlight-1/2015/08/why-choose-grass-fed-meat"><span>https://bastyr.edu/news/general-news-health-tips-spotlight-1/2015/08/why-choose-grass-fed-meat</span></a></p> <p><a href="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.361.2312&rep=rep1&type=pdf"><span>http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.361.2312&rep=rep1&type=pdf</span></a></p> <p><span>[Butt One More Thing]</span></p> <p><span>Pork butt</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.southernliving.com/bbq/why-is-it-called-boston-butt"><span>https://www.southernliving.com/bbq/why-is-it-called-boston-butt</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/22382/how-9-cuts-meat-got-their-names"><span>https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/22382/how-9-cuts-meat-got-their-names</span></a></p>
