In 2020, nearly 29 percent of Brazilians older than 20 were obese, up from roughly 15 percent in 2000, one of the largest increases of any country over that period, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Among the 10 most populous nations, only Mexico, the United States and Russia had higher obesity rates, ranging between 31 percent and 37 percent, according to the data. Dr. Claudia Cozer Kalil, an endocrinologist at one of Brazil’s top hospitals in São Paulo, attributed the soaring obesity in part to rising wages that led to poor…

When the pandemic began, Amy Howlett found herself having a cocktail every night. Her porch happy hour with neighbors was “the only avenue for social interaction,” says the New Jersey-based small business owner. Soon, though, imbibing daily started to make her feel sluggish. Not wanting to give up the ritual completely, Howlett started experimenting with different alcohol-free happy hour options, and discovered a plethora of non-alcoholic (NA) brands. She started selling these NA wines, beers, spirits and cocktails at General Store Cooperative, the retail incubator space she co-founded in Maplewood. Customers snapped them up.

The pandemic arrived “like the snow at the end of ‘The Dead,’” Bloom said, referring to James Joyce’s classic story — a few flakes at first, then blanketing everything. Bloom’s daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter came from Brooklyn to ride out the storm. Bloom kept writing in the afternoons. She laughed. “My kids tease me, they say, ‘You expected to be sitting by the pond, in gray gauze, staring into the distance.’” Instead she was absorbed by work and the rhythms of family life. By September 2020, Bloom had a draft to share with her longtime editor, Kate Medina, the executive…

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington lawmakers are making a last-ditch attempt to block intoxicating, synthetically derived cannabis products, including gummy candies and vape oil, from being sold at gas stations, convenience stores and smoke shops after earlier bills failed. “These are being sold right now, without any regulation, without any oversight,” said Democratic Sen. Karen Keiser. “It’s a public health danger and a threat, and it needs to be removed.” With about two weeks left in the legislative session, Keiser and Republican Mark Schoesler introduced a measure Friday to ban the products both within Washington’s legal marijuana industry and outside it….

At first glance, weed doesn’t appear to be a hazy subject. Thirty-seven states have legalized marijuana for medical use. And 18 states have given recreational weed the go-ahead. Polls show that most adults in the US (91%) support legalizing marijuana. Around the world, at least four countries have also given it the thumbs up. Even the US’s next-door neighbor Canada, eh.  Despite its large approval (and use) in the US, marijuana is very much illegal at the federal level. It’s classified as a Schedule I drug — just like heroin, LSD, and ecstasy. And has been a target in the…
