The NBA’s Chicago Bulls show why no one is watching the NBA anymore.
Let’s go over an opinion piece that was written about our children’s diets and how the government can fix this. I think you know where I’m going to go with this.
And a historic event is happening today, yet know knows nor cares about it. This is kind of sad if you think about it.

It’s More Than The Food
Here is an opinion piece by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Leslie Brooke Rollins from the Department of Health and Human Services. See if you notice if something is missing.
According to Fox News:
As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of freedom this summer, America should resolve to once again be a healthy nation. Chronic disease has been rapidly increasing for decades, and for far too long, the federal government’s approach to nutrition has been part of the problem. Empowered by President Donald Trump’s leadership, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will soon publish a final rule that will more than double the amount of healthy food that many retailers in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are required to stock.
Since its inception, SNAP has helped our most vulnerable citizens afford the essential and nutritious food they need. At least, that is what the program is supposed to do. Over time, however, SNAP has been taken advantage of, allowing many to game the system and leaving millions of vulnerable Americans without healthy, nutrient-dense food options.
Requiring to stock certain foods does not change the behavior of those taking advantage of SNAP. Banning highly processed foods is the problem.
This is the first clue about what is missing.
This has accelerated the health crisis that our nation is up against. Every year, 90% of the nearly $5 trillion the United States spends on healthcare goes toward treating people with chronic conditions. And of the roughly 73 million children under age 18 in the United States, the CDC reports that over 40% have at least one chronic health condition, while more than 350,000 American children have been diagnosed with diabetes.
The consequences are far-reaching and have even put our national security at risk. Due primarily to obesity, poor physical fitness, and/or mental health challenges, more than 75% of Americans aged 17 to 24 are ineligible for military service — a staggering and dangerous reality.
The article fails to point out that 75% of those on SNAP (child or adult) have obesity problems.
Rising rates of childhood chronic disease are driven by a combination of factors. Improving SNAP — which covers 15.6 million children, or about 39% of all SNAP participants — is a terrific place to start. When it comes to a lack of healthy options for both America’s children and adults, the stocking standards that classify the foods retailers are required to stock to redeem SNAP benefits are a key culprit.
The current stocking standards were established when SNAP was used quite differently. Today, too many taxpayer dollars are spent on highly processed products loaded with empty calories. With nearly 266,000 retailers nationwide redeeming nearly $96 billion in SNAP benefits in fiscal year 2025, we can’t afford not to act.
To take just one example of SNAP misuse, retailers have been able to qualify for SNAP by selling jelly, passing it off as a “fruit,” and making a quick buck off it. This was never the intent of SNAP, and the Trump administration is laser-focused on restoring the program to its original mission.
Our pending final rule raises the bar for stocking by strengthening requirements for retailers and closing loopholes that have allowed certain snack foods to count as staple foods. This rule requires all retailers to carry a minimum of 28 varieties across the four staple food groups — more than double the 12 they are currently required to carry. This will mean more real food like eggs, chicken, whole grain breads, fruit and yogurt on store shelves and on Americans’ plates.
Or, you can make real food like eggs, chicken, whole grains breads, fruit, and yogurt the only foods they can purchase!
Americans on SNAP deserve even more than 28 varieties, but this is a long overdue step in the right direction. It is also the very least retailers can do in exchange for receiving federal taxpayer dollars, since public money should go toward supporting the national interest. And retailers participating in SNAP should feel obligated to offer a variety of healthy foods, period.
At long last, we are modernizing SNAP to responsibly steward taxpayer dollars, promote healthy eating and empower Americans to lead better lives. This pending final rule squares with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ call to eat real food by ensuring low-income Americans have healthy options available wherever they shop.
There is no better 250th birthday present we can give America than making our nation healthier through real food grown by our incredible farmers, ranchers and producers. Stay tuned — there is much more to come before July 4th.
Some things:
- SNAP is a program that needs to go away as it is.
- It is abused.
- It is has become a lifestyle instead of being temporary help for people in trouble.
- It costs way to much.
- Behavior is the problem, not the lack of regulations.
- Parents are the ones who need to be careful what their children eat, not the government.
Toughen Up, Buttercup!
According to the New York Post:
Newcomers to the workforce are already in need of respites from the rat race. So, they’re ditching the daily grind to enjoy a little midweek mindfulness in nature amid the rising “green days” movement.
“I’m really enjoying my day off from work,” raved a 28-year-old law office assistant, in part, while frolicking barefoot through grass in a trending vid. “I’m putting my health first and taking it easy.”
It’s the easy way out of doing a hard day’s work.
As if Gen Zers, young adults under age 29, don’t already have a bad rap for being “lazy and entitled” loafs totally unprepared for the corporate world, the youngsters are now abandoning their posts for green days — time away from the office for time spent in the forest or at the beach — during normal business hours.
And while the spontaneous outing might come as a nuisance to the 65% of employers who’ve deemed Zoomers the “hardest generation to work with,” owing to their poor communication skills, lack of focus and emotional fragility — not to mention their near-crippling dependence on mommy and daddy — randomly going “green” for a day does have its benefits, per reports.
A staggering 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas — a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050, according to The World Health Organization (WHO), which notes that a lack of fresh and activity makes folks vulnerable to noncommunicable disease.
Rather than staying cooped up in a cubby, experts suggest squeezing in a little “green time” from time-to-time.
“Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood and boost feelings of happiness and well-being,” says the American Heart Association. “Whatever you call it – forest bathing, ecotherapy, mindfulness in nature, green time or the wilderness cure ‒ humans evolved in the great outdoors, and your brain may benefit from a journey back to nature.”
Researchers from the UK even found that a minimum of 20 to 90 minutes outdoors each day is “effective for improving mental health outcomes.”
The brain boost, however, does not require a full 9-to-5 shift.
Still, the Gen Zs who’d rather play in the green than make some green seem happy with their self-serving choices.
“Midweek day off in the sun though,” gushed a on-the-go gal taking full advantage of her PTO.
“What my mornings look like on my day off,” another captioned footage of herself hiking near a waterfall, far away from big business.
“Days off recharging around nature,” wrote a carefree couple beneath a clip of themselves tabling their responsibilities to kiss in a forest.
Must be nice to lead the green Gen Z life.
It Was a Joke Dude!
According to Fox News:
Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi faces a lawsuit for $27 million after making a joke about the lyrics to the opening song of the Disney film “The Lion King.”
While appearing on the One54 Africa podcast last month, Jonasi jokingly claimed that “Nants’ingonyama bagithi Baba,” the opening African chant to the song “Circle of Life,” translates to “Look! There’s a lion! Oh my god!”
South African composer Lebohang Morake, otherwise known as Lebo M, the vocalist behind the opening chant, accused the comedian in a legal document on March 16 of making “false statements of fact about the meaning of the ‘Nants’ingonyama’ composition” which he insists translates to “All hail the king, we all bow in the presence of the king.”
He claimed Jonasi was diminishing the song’s value, which could have a negative impact on Morake’s reputation and estate, and is seeking more than $27 million in damages.
