Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
When this happens, male and female flies have a hard time recognizing each other, renderi

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The European Union has reached a preliminary deal on how to regulate gene-edited crops in a move that could ease the development of new varieties in a region long wary of biotech innovations in food.
The EU has debated for years how to regulate so-called new genomic techniques (NGT), which can edit the genetic material of an organism without introducing traits from another species.
Proponents say the technology accelerates naturally-occurring mutations and offers a response to climate and environmental pressures, while critics bracket it with genetically modified o

FDA issues a mass recall of more than 1 million bags of shredded cheese
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a mass recall of more than 1 million bags of shredded cheese sold at major retailers, including Aldi, Publix, Target and Walmart, across 31 states and Puerto Rico.
The shredded cheese manufacturer, Great Lakes Cheese Co. of Hiram, Ohio, initiated the voluntary recall, saying the products may be contaminated with metal fragments, which may cause internal injuries if consumed.

Africa’s forests have turned from a carbon sink into a carbon source, according to research that underscores the need for urgent action to save the world’s great natural climate stabilizers.
The alarming shift, which has happened since 2010, means all of the planet’s three main rainforest regions — the South American Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Africa — have gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.

When did kissing originate? Scholars make educated guess
(NewsNation) — Researchers have made an educated guess about when kissing began, dating the practice at somewhere between 17 million and 21.5 million years ago.
But by kissing, scientists don’t mean the type of lip-locking that humans engage in, often to show affection. Rather, they zeroed in on “non-agonistic interaction involving directed, intraspecific, oral-oral contact with some movement of the lips/mouthparts and no food transfer.”

Trump cut tariffs on beef, bananas, coffee and more — but that won't curb prices
When the Trump administration announced it was easing tariffs on a slew of agricultural products, the goal was to appease consumers who are sick of dealing with rising grocery prices.
But though the reduced tariffs could help ease the rate of inflation for foods Americans rely on, it’s unlikely that shoppers will see significant price reductions in store aisles.

Researchers in Spain have made a breakthrough that helps plants resist drought more effectively than their natural defenses.
According to HortiDaily, a team of researchers led by the Spanish National Research Council has developed a molecule called inverted cyanobactin (iCB) that mimics the plant hormone that regulates drought resistance, abscisic acid.
Extreme weather conditions like drought are threatening the global food supply, and the situation will only get worse as the planet continues to overheat.

Thanksgiving foods fuel a silent epidemic affecting millions of Americans
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a silent killer that lurks among us, helping to claim millions of lives every year.
According to a new study published in The Lancet, the number of kids under age 19 who have high blood pressure has doubled worldwide since 2000. The rest of the population isn’t faring much better either: In the US, nearly half of Americans have hypertension — twice the rate from a generation ago.
Many Americans, particularly young adults, don’t know they have high blood pressure.

First the plant stalk is harvested, shredded, and crushed. The extracted juice is then combined with bacteria and yeast in large bioreactors, where the sugars are metabolized and converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. From there, the liquid is typically distilled to maximize ethanol concentration, before it is blended with gasoline.

President Donald Trump has recently turned to a new economic indicator in his push to convince Americans that his policies are boosting the economy: the number of people receiving federal food benefits.
“In nine months, we’ve lifted over 600,000 Americans off food stamps,” he said Tuesday at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington.
A few days earlier, Trump cited the figure at the McDonald’s Impact Summit, saying, “It’s really because we really have a strong economy.” And last month, he also highlighted the number at a gathering of business executives in South Korea.

President Donald Trump proclaimed an economic golden age under the Golden Arches. But while he may have a regular guy’s taste in fast food, he’s looking oblivious to the wrenching price pressure haunting millions of Americans.
“There’s never been a time like this,” he declared Monday at a summit of McDonald’s franchise owners in Washington. The president waxed lyrical about his favorite Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and fondly recalled his turn working the fry station at one of the fast-food giant’s Pennsylvania restaurants last year.

Every year, airplanes are responsible for about 2.5% of planet-warming gas pollution, contributing to the transportation sector's 16.2% share of total carbon pollution. Thankfully, scientists have found a sustainable way to cut that contribution by turning everyday trash into jet fuel.
A study published in Nature Sustainability shows that converting municipal solid waste into sustainable aviation fuel could reduce pollution by 80-90% compared to conventional jet fuel. The findings support that one day, food scraps and packaging could power commercial flights.

McDonald's loses low-income diners as prices soar and wealthy customers take their place
In the early 2000s, after a severe slump, McDonald’s orchestrated a major turnaround, with the introduction of its Dollar Menu.
The menu, where all items cost $1, illustrated just how important it was to market to low-income consumers — who value getting the most bang for their buck.
Coming at a time of flagging growth, tumbling stock and the company's first report of a quarterly loss, the Dollar Menu reversed the fast food giant's bad fortune. It paved the way for three years of sales growth at store
