Eating food in general activates areas of the brain that are responsible for pleasurable feelings, according to Brooks, who is also the instructor of a course at Harvard University about managing happiness. Brooks did a deep dive into various studies to compile the elements of what he calls the "ultimate happiness diet." Some additional factors Brooks says are key to a happiness diet include:Still, it was the use of meal time for social gathering that stuck with Brooks. "The connection between food and social connections is very natural, because food does bring people together," Hu said. But in Brooks' opinion, "The food isn't the point at all," for happiness.

A state district judge struck down North Dakota's abortion ban Thursday, saying that the state constitution creates a “fundamental right” to access abortion before a fetus is viable. "The Court concludes [the law] violates the Constitution of the State of North Dakota and is void for vagueness and of no effect," the order stated. The ruling stemmed from a request from the state to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a North Dakota clinic in 2022. Even though the judge’s ruling would make abortion legal in the meantime, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights, there are no longer any clinics performing abortions in North Dakota. North Dakota's ban prohibited abortion at all stages of pregnancy, except in the case of death or serious health risk.
