☆ The world wastes more than 1 billion meals every day as hundreds of millions go hungry, UN report finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Christian Edwards | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —More than 1 billion meals are wasted across the world each day while nearly 800 million people go hungry, a new United Nations report has found. This is on top of the 13% of the world’s food lost as it makes its journey from farm to fork. The vast majority of food waste goes to landfill, generating methane as it breaks down. The report also said food waste is not just a “rich world” phenomenon. The amount of food wasted in high- and middle-income countries differed by just 7 kilograms (15 pounds) per person each year.

☆ Ukraine is in a race to stop Russia's mounting glide-bomb attacks
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +11 min

Short flight times, small radar signatures, and non-ballistic trajectories make glide bombs particularly difficult to intercept as well. "When the Ukrainian air-defense bandwidth is all tied up, they then move in with the fixed-wing aircraft to conduct these glide-bomb attacks," he said. This includes the 1,100-pound FAB-500, 3,300-pound FAB-1500, and 6,600-pound FAB-3000 bombs — all of which can be modified and turned into glide bombs. "That makes the mission planning for attacks with standoff weapons that can hit fixed targets, like the glide bombs, quite practical," he explained. And it won't be entirely the fault of glide bombs — Kyiv needs all the tools its forces can get right now.

☆ Altimmune says weight loss drug minimized muscle loss in trial results, which may set it apart
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Some health experts have said that obesity drugs could shrink critical muscle mass, which could raise the risk of injuries and decrease strength. Those results are similar to those often seen with diet and exercise programs for weight loss. "There is a growing appreciation that the quality of weight loss is as important as the quantity of weight loss." For example, Eli Lilly is testing whether combining its weight loss drug with a monoclonal antibody from Versanis Bio might help patients lose weight while preserving muscle mass. The pharmaceutical giant recently acquired Versanis, which is part of a slate of companies targeting the muscle-loss aspect of weight loss.

☆ A Legal Pot Pioneer Was Busted in Idaho With 56 Pounds. He Has a Plan.

In retrospect, the Idaho shortcut might have been a bad idea. Or perhaps the fateful moment was when Mr. Beal decided to avoid the cold by staying in the minivan conked out on the shoulder of Interstate 84. That forced the helpful state trooper to come over and get a noseful of the 56 pounds of weed that Mr. Beal was bringing back to New York. In reality, there were any number of chances for Mr. Beal, 77, to avoid his current situation: facing felony drug trafficking charges carrying a potential 15 years in prison. Mr. Beal has spent nearly six decades challenging pot laws and is a fixture of New York’s graying counterculture, famous for handing out joints at rallies.

The most expensive metal detector can cost $15,000, but starter models are available for a few hundred dollars. While Brock celebrates his gold nugget find in England, it pales compared to one of the greatest discoveries with a metal detector.
