Looks like the American Heart Association has just retracted their ludicrous opposition to barring soda and candy from food stamps. GOOD... we all make mistakes and that was a whopper. https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-heart-association-retracts-food-stamp-soda-opposition
Good to know, thanks. That said, I do wish you chose a different source. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/daily-wire How it apparently happened in the first place is confusing given the AHA's position on the matter. https://www.heart.org/-/media/Files...tural-Racism-and-Sugary-Drinks.pdf?sc_lang=en
I know you are very particular about sources, especially those you don't like, but I have no particular affinity towards that one. I heard a rumor about the AHA reversing its stance, and to check it out I plugged "aha coke candy" into Google search and it was the hit at the top of the list.
America Is Done Pretending About Meat https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/03/meat-boom-trump-rfk-jr/682150/ Plant-based eating has lost its appeal. Making America healthy again, it seems, starts with a double cheeseburger and fries. Earlier this month, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited a Steak ’n Shake in Florida and shared a meal with Fox News’s Sean Hannity. The setting was no accident: Kennedy has praised the fast-food chain for switching its cooking oil from seed oil, which he falsely claims causes illness, to beef tallow. “People are raving about these french fries,” Kennedy said after eating one, before commending other restaurants that fry with beef tallow: Popeyes, Buffalo Wild Wings, Outback Steakhouse. To put it another way, if you order fries at Steak ’n Shake, cauliflower wings at Buffalo Wild Wings, or the Bloomin’ Onion at Outback, your food will be cooked in cow fat. For more than a decade, cutting down on meat and other animal products has been idealized as a healthier, more ethical way to eat. Guidelines such as “Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants” may have disproportionately appealed to liberals in big cities, but the meat backlash has been unavoidable across the United States. The Obama administration passed a law to limit meat in school lunches; more recently, meat alternatives such as Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat have flooded grocery-store shelves, and fast-food giants are even serving them up in burgers and nuggets. It all heralded a future that seemed more tempeh than tomahawk steak: “Could this be the beginning of the end of meat?” wrote The New York Times in 2022...
