Last night, I watched an Instagram video where a Mom talked about being angry and mean to her kids -- it was an ad for a therapy app or something -- and then this morning agreed to let my second grader stay home "sick." I don't think these two are unrelated.

My take on the new Dietary Guidelines: Who can afford them? with steak prices up 18% YoY, it’s quite a choice for a ribeye to figure so prominently in the pyramid. (USDA, for its part, says it’s all very affordable. HHS was like, no, it’s not affordable yet.)
