Only 4.7% of US healthcare spending goes to primary care. that figure could triple and we would still be underinvesting in primary care. It’s no wonder our health outcomes trail the rest of the developed world.

No kidding. Over 42 million people rely on SNAP, which Republicans are trying to slash. And people in rural areas are more likely to be on SNAP. SNAP is effective in promoting food security and in a weak economy, every $1 generates $1.54 in economic activity www.businessinsider.com/snap-food-st...

One of my favorite nutrition hacks: Pico de gallo I make a big tub at home once a week and everyone eats it. It’s such an easy way to put fruits and vegetables (including a leafy green) on top of your other meals. It’s a great way to get kids to eat veggies!

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Hard to focus at work when I know I have a package at home I am want to open. 😏

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

So now that the Republican Party takeover by Trump has turned them into the Know Nothing party, has anyone thought of starting a new Conservative Party?

Just to be clear: Fiber is the nutrient Americans are most deficient in. NOT protein. Eat more fruits, legumes, veggies, nuts and whole grains. Stop worrying about how much protein you get.

Maybe Zelensky’s conversation with Trump didn’t go well because he failed to start it with the phrase “No Homo”

Musk/Trump are quickly destroying America's unique edge in science and tech. They are going on the blind "conservative" faith that everything in government is broken and needs to be dismantled ASAP.https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/02/us-antarctic-program-disrupted-by-doge-induced-chaos/

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
