The food pyramid may be back on the menu
EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that “Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ...

The real reason we fail to feed those in need
FOOD IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. Everyone knows this. But it’s also the difference between stability and instability, union and division, and peace and war. I have had a front-row seat to some of the worst recent humanitarian crises—from Yemen and Syria to Afghanistan and Gaza—and this has been true, time and time again.

LIVING IN PUBLIC
“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it’s shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

Brothers in arms, and Shakespeare
THE NEW FILM HAMNET, BASED ON MAGGIE O'FARRELL'S award-winning 2020 novel, imagines how William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet in a haze of grief over the death of his son.

President Trump floated the idea of introducing 50-year mortgages in a Truth Social post on Nov. 8. Soon after, Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte wrote in a post on X: “Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage—a complete game changer.”
