Beef Central presents its Christmas gift suggestion list for the ones from the beef industry or the stakeholders, who have yet not planned presents for their friends and family.

The top 10 gift ideas are:

Get away from the irritation and invest in the latest generation electric knife sharpener presented by the Total Knife care.

But the latest generation sharpeners are made to do precise job in a matter of moments. The excuse for a blunt blade is no longer existent. It can be anything from a vegetable peeling knife to butchering meat weapon. The price ranges from $160 to $ 333. It is available online as well or in a Total knife care store.

2. Setting of myths about the climate changes: The latest book by academician Ian Pilmer “How to get expelled from School: A Guide to Climate Change for Pupils, Parents and Punters,” was released this month. This is your chance to find out and let your friends and family know about the political propaganda on climate change which is being fed to the pupils, parents and public. Ian Pilmer gives simple 101 questions to be asked to teachers, activists, politicians and journalists. And yes he has given the answers too!! There is raw data with held by climate industries and they adjust the temperatures accordingly. Apart from raw data, computer codes and information is not given for scrutiny. The predictions made by the computer do not agree with the actual measurements. Previous natural climate changes have been bigger and speedier than the worst case forecasts and still the humans have personalized them. This human being induced global warming may end up becoming the most noteworthy financial and scientific scam in the history of mankind. Our generations to come may have to pay dearly for this. This book by professor Pilmer is priced at $29.95 on retail online stores. It is a great gift option for the inquisitive ones.
