3 McDonald’s Competitors Have Superior $5 Value Meals

THE STANDARD: McDonald’s $5 Value Meal What’s in the bag: McChicken or McDouble plus 4-piece chicken nuggets and a 12-ounce drink. The location I visited in Pasadena only offered the McChicken. I appreciated that they didn’t shy away from the mayonnaise, properly lubricating the sandwich and tossing on a good amount of shredded lettuce. The chicken itself is like a giant nugget, though looser in texture and not as tightly pressed — like a round of packaging...

America's Poison Centers says there has been a spike in cases, with 267 reports of Teflon flu last year.

“It sucks. It’s not fun. It’s painful. It hurts.”

CNN – The Chicago White Sox made the wrong kind of history on Monday, falling to the Oakland Athletics 5-1 to tie an American League record with their 21st consecutive loss. Chicago’s losing streak is the longest since the Baltimore Orioles opened the 1988 season with 21 straight losses. They trail only the Philadelphia Phillies, who set the modern-day National League record after losing 23 straight in 1961. “We talk about it every day,” said White Sox...

The Wellness Industry Is Selling You Snake Oil

Mother Jones – In April, at the TED conference in Vancouver, BC, I watched a woman pull a variety of mushroom powders from her purse, scoop them into a thermos, and add hot water from a nearby tea station to make an earthy beverage.

But how high of a cut is too high? That question surfaced — loudly — when Nike revealed...
