FDA’s rotten definition of “healthy” food is finally getting tossed

ARS TECHNICA – The US Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday proposed a long-awaited revision to the definition of the term "healthy" on food packaging—finally scrapping the mind-boggling criteria from the 1990s that made healthful foods such as nuts, salmon, avocados, olive oil, and even water ineligible for the label. The new definition is not immune to criticism, and Americans are likely to still face uncertainty about healthy food choices as they stroll grocery store...

Kansas race tests which matters more: Economy or abortion?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Republicans redrew Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids' suburban Kansas City, Kansas-area district this year to make a third term harder for her to win, adding rural areas where former President Donald Trump did well and removing urban areas that Davids had carried handily. But the dynamic changed in June, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Kansas voters responded in August by overwhelmingly rejecting a ballot measure expected to...

What you need to know before buying hearing aids

THE NEW YORK TIMES – Hearing aids have come a long way. We heard that phrase a lot—from hearing-loss-community advocates, audiologists, hearing-technology experts, and our test panelists. Thanks to a combination of technological advancement, increased demand, and legislation, entry-level-priced devices available now are as good as or better than most expensive hearing aids from five or six years ago. If you’ve tried hearing aids in the past and gotten less-than-successful results, don’t automatically judge today’s devices by...

We’re still doing a lot of work on it....

Migrants Sent by Chicago Mayor to Suburbs Infect Hotel With Scabies

FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE – Texas and Arizona are sending Biden’s open borders flood of illegal migrants to New York, D.C. and Chicago. And Chicago’s Mayor Lightfoot decided to deport them to the suburbs. Somehow no Texas lawyers are investigating her for “human trafficking”. There, housed in a hotel, they turned out to be infected with burrowing parasites that, unusual in Cook County, weren’t already registered to vote twice for Mayor Lightfoot.
