The ruling is a long-overdue victory—not just for ducks and geese subjected to force-feeding, but for the democratic process itself.

"Consumers want healthy foods, but at the time of purchase, cravings often prevail. The high oil content adds flavor, but it also contains a lot of energy and calories."

"Many times I find myself having to set aside other basic needs my children have in order to prioritize buying food," Garcia said in Spanish.

"There are people who have come here after escaping violence and persecution and torture. These are communities that we have historically said, 'You are welcome here. We have the support for you. We're going to help you get established in our country.' And now, the federal government is abandoning them."

Humbe's music is a blend of R&B, pop, and traditional Latin influences, creating a sound that transcends time and cultural boundaries.

The spices are merely a vessel for culture, community, storytelling, and politics. The recipes were so fresh, simple, and seasonal. That's not the version of South Asian food that most people know.

Minneapolis has a 200-year history of embracing newly arrived immigrants, leading to a remarkably diverse food scene that utilizes the region's agricultural bounty.

"Forgotten cuts" are officially back on the menu! We're seeing a shift as food lovers move beyond the basics to experiment with nose-to-tail cooking.

Chef Violet Witchel, creator of the now-viral "dense bean salad," didn't build a 3 million strong social media following by chasing virality. She built it by solving a problem. At a time when protein goals were trending and food prices were rising, she noticed something simple: beans were affordable, high-protein, and meal-prep friendly.

These tiny packages pack a nutritional punch-so much so that the advisory committee for the 2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommended upping the daily serving size of legumes and promoting them as a protein source over meat and seafood. Navy beans, for example, are especially fiber-dense, and lentils are protein powerhouses.

The expense, return on investment, and volume of investors needed to make it a reality did not make sense. I thought, 'maybe it's time to do something new.' The amount of money you need to run a restaurant in Brooklyn or Manhattan at this point is so crazy. If you fail, the loss is massive. Here, we were able to do a major renovation, we have a 100 bottle wine list, and we can use the ingredients we want and serve them at a decent price point because our overhead is not as bad.

Since the duo got together as fellow students at Goldsmiths Centre for Research Architecture in 2013, they have been using the production and consumption of food as the focus for numerous long-term, site-specific projects that address how we should live-and eat in particular-in the face of climate change. As they put it: "Food is both deeply connected to the environment and to ecology but at the same time is also intersectional: every living organism on this planet is invested and preoccupied with processes of metabolism, ingestion and the acquisition of nutrients."
