The EAT is useful in assessing "eating disorder risk" in high school, college and other special risk samples such as athletes.

Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species.

[7] In 1978, Belgian Blue cattle were introduced to the United States by Nick Tutt, a farmer from central Canada who emigrated to West Texas and showed the cattle to universities in the ...
Double-muscled cattle are breeds of cattle that carry one of seven known mutations that limits and reduces the activity of the myostatin protein. Normally, myostatin limits the number of muscle fibers present at birth, and interfering with activity of this protein causes animals to be born with higher numbers of muscle fibers, consequently augmenting muscle growth.
