Taco Bell Is Now Joining the Fried Chicken Sandwich Wars with a New Taco
The fried chicken wars that started in late 2019 are back. So I guess whatever temporary armistice all the fast food restaurants signed for the pandemic has expired.

Chick-fil-A Drops Decaf, Bagels From Menu

Cheese Is Not Bad for You After All, According to Science
It's about time scientists spoke up in defense of something that's been unfairly maligned for so many years.

The dean of the Tufts School of Nutrition Science in Massachusetts says, quote, "There's almost no evidence cheese causes weight gain, and in fact, there's evidence that it's neutral at worst.
"There's no evidence that cheese is linked to cardiovascular disease, and in some studies, it's even a little bit associated with lower risk. And then, for diabetes, again, it's at worst neutral, and maybe protective."
