The federal government is canceling the leading national survey of household food insecurity and hunger in the United States, @wsj.com reported today. The Dec 2025 survey will be canceled, while the Oct 2025 report based on Dec 2024 data will be released as usual. (1/4)

Some say that sustainable foods cost too much.
Yet, Elena Martinez and colleagues and me in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this week note that more expensive foods (such as more expensive meats) are comparatively high-carbon on average.

Continuing a theme for the week, reading and understanding the Constitution is an excellent exercise in American patriotism, and it helps us understand the daily newspaper.
