Mounting evidence from exercise science indicates that women are physiologically better suited than men to endurance efforts such as running marathons . . . early humans are thought to have pursued prey on foot over long distances until the animals were exhausted.

The House GOP wants to gut the EPA, cutting the budget by 40%. Are you a #hunter or into #Fishing ? Without the EPA, there would be no fish in most US waterways, and no ducks in our flyways. EPA rules are the reason game meat is mostly safe to eat, and game animals exist.

There is no #hunting or #fishing without a strong EPA.
