Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said today, May 10, he is bothered that it will cost more to ship U.S. commodities recently purchased with funds from the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust than it cost to buy them and that the issue of the transportation cost “needs to be addressed.” Vilsack made the statement in response to a question from Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., at a Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on President Biden’s fiscal year 2023 request. Vilsack did not use […]
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — A new program within Hartford Hospital is helping people get healthy, but not with medicine. Instead, it offers patients healthy food to take home. It looks like a small supermarket, but it is actually part of Hartford Hospital. Last week, doctors started referring certain patients here for healthier food. It’s free, they can take as much as they want, and learn some recipes, too. “If patients qualify in our office, they get a referral from our […]

In April, California-based restaurateur Andy Nguyen opened Bored and Hungry, a smash burger concept in Long Beach, California with a Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) flair. Brittany Chang/Insider I visited the one-of-a-kind concept on an early Tuesday afternoon in May. Brittany Chang/Insider While Bored and Hungry’s saucy smash burger and seasoned fries were simply scrumptious, the unbridled Bored and Mutant Ape theme felt kitschy. And I’m still not convinced NFTs are the only way forward for restaurants. Brittany Chang/Insider If […]
Sign up for The Weekly Planet, Robinson Meyer’s newsletter about living through climate change, here. For the past few days, a heat wave of mind-boggling scale and intensity has gripped South Asia. More than 1 billion people in India and Pakistan have endured daytime highs of 40 degrees Celsius, or 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

The sharpest of minds have been studying DNA for more than 70 years now, for a better understanding of the human species and how the individual’s biology is shaped. While this subject is as wide as the expanse of the oceans, we’re getting a better idea of each of its properties making us all unique in our own rights.

Eat enough protein (at least 15-20 grams each meal). Lean meats, low-fat dairy, egg whites, soy milk or products, lentils and beans are all excellent. But […]
At first glance, TikTok videos of milky swirls that plume into fizzy neon blue liquid might be mistaken for those dreamy satellite images from space. Instead of a galactic vision, however, the billows can be found doing their eddies in plastic cups filled with pebble ice; sometimes, they’re held by stars like Olivia Rodrigo. Called “dirty soda,” the carbonated drinks have become an all-out craze on the social media platform. Imagine a cross between a Shirley Temple and an egg […]
HOUSTON — The Hughie’s on West 18th Street is one among scores of Vietnamese American restaurants around Houston. But it may have more in common with a Dairy Queen. For starters, it used to be a Dairy Queen. The sign out front still has the eye-shaped outline of the ice cream chain’s logo. On the menu, alongside banh mi and shaking beef, are thickly crusted, buttermilk brined chicken tenders, a Dairy Queen standard. The most striking similarity, though, is the […]
