In this US study, people with a college degree were more likely to consider or choose plant-based burgers than those without a degree.
But when the prices of plant-based options were lowered, consumers without a college degree became more inclined to buy them.

The next update in Eat Your Veggies will add yuzu. While it's generally not eaten raw, this citrus fruit can be used as a flavouring in baked goods, tea, and marmalade, for example.

In South Africa, when people move to cities, their diets become similar to a “Western” one, with more energy-dense foods, animal protein, and fat.
This shift changes the diversity of gut microbes, increasing bacteria previously linked to higher colorectal cancer risk.

The weekly summary feature will start to include messages about possible low nutrient levels based on your previous week's veggies. The data behind it is not very detailed, though, so think of it more as a conversation starter than dietician's advice.
