Amid online backlash, Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman has deleted his post suggesting that healthier food could save Americans from what he believes to be the “underlying problem” of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a Tuesday LinkedIn post, Neman shared his thoughts on the nation’s current coronavirus crisis and called for “health mandates”—which he likened to vaccine and face mask requirements implemented in cities and businesses across the country. “78% of hospitalizations due to COVID are Obese and Overweight people,” Neman wrote.

But our incredibly large appetite for fast food also makes America the perfect place for international chains to try their luck at increasing their customer base. While some of these chain’s menu items stray from the staple favorites available at most American fast-food restaurants, they still consistently […]

Keto is a low carb, high fat diet, but sometimes the “high fat” part can be a challenge — especially if you’re new to eating keto and unused to eating so much fat. To ensure you get enough of this macronutrient, you can be more generous with cooking oil on your food. However, it can be difficult to know which cooking oils are best suited for keto. All oils are pure fat and don’t contain any carbs, but from a […]
