In a recent newspaper article promoting the eating of seaweed and seaweed products, the argument was made that doing so was a more efficient use of energy than eating animals. Why would eating seaweed be more energy efficient than eating an animal?
◦ Plant matter contains more energy per unit volume than does animal matter.
◦ The energy found in animal matter represents a fraction of the energy found in the plant matter eaten by the animal. It would be better to just eat the plant and skip a step.
◦ The conversion of plant matter to animal matter produces less waste than converting animal material to animal material.
◦ Plant matter contains more energy per unit weight than does animal matter.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
