    Federal government promotes eating unhealthy, sugary foods rather than meat2

    The National Institutes of Health is encouraging unhealthy eating. It recently funded the development of a “food compass” that encourages people to eat sugary foods like Lucky Charms, while discouraging people from eating common sources of protein.

    Why Academics Are Writing Junk That Nobody Reads15

    Professors usually spend about 3-6 months (sometimes longer) researching and writing a 25-page article to submit to an academic journal.

    American Made: What Sort of Worker Are You?36

    For Christmas this year, my daughter gave me an unusual gift. She hired a service to deep clean my house for four hours. At 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17, a small car pulled into my driveway. Two men and a woman got out and removed buckets and supplies from the trunk, and we introduced
