@DrEricDing It's true, I was shocked at how inexpensive groceries are there! This does need to account for the exchange rate tho, which has now creeped up to 17-18%...

Comparing 🇩🇪 cost of living versus 🇺🇸… Even if Germans make ~18% less than Americans, & Germans pay more tax—but 🇩🇪individual tax burden over 🇺🇸 is only 7-15% (depending on US state) more. 🇺🇸 costs here are still many fold more than 🇩🇪, beyond tax/income.

oh no, some publishing executive probably read this and is stroking his chin right now and getting ready to pitch it...

@calleymeans Why haven't you discussed regulation of pesticides lately? Or healthy food access? Unhealthy markers across the U.S. isn't an issue about individual choice.

Getting American biomarkers to these ranges should be the foundational goal of healthcare policy.

@calleymeans So how do I find out what the problem is in my metabolic health?

@offbeatorbit @masseffexor Ooh, I'm also in Bed Stuy and due for some brow clean-up. Which spot?

The woman who threaded my eyebrows today kept talking about how beautiful my eyes are which was so nice of her! Anyway, afterwards I looked in the mirror and I’m certain my eyebrows have never been this thin in my life and I was a teenager in the 2000s.

It’s about a lot more than food dyes.
This year will see the most significant reforms to our food system in modern American history:
✅Soda and candy off SNAP
✅GRAS Reform
✅Nutrition Guideline Reform
✅Labeling Reform
✅Ultraprocessed food definition
Life-saving change.

Today marks the beginning of the end of the government subsidization of diabetes and obesity.

@patrickhealynyt It’s your job to provide context about the source—by just listing his handle without any details you are tacitly implying that he’s a neutral source.
English
We heard from readers who wanted more detail about this initial source. That’s fair feedback. We printed his online alias so readers could learn more about the person. The purpose of this story was to help illuminate the thinking and background of a major mayoral candidate.

As the @nytimes assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I’ve received reader feedback regarding our reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s 2009 application to Columbia University. To provide context on how the reporting came together, I wanted to share some information:

@calleymeans Oh cool is there proposed legislation for big ag and microplastic mitigations/solutions?

One of the great accomplishments of MAHA is to steer the goal of healthcare to dis-incentivizing the poisoning. Right now, 95% of healthcare spending is profiting from Americans being sick.
People are now asking “how do we incentivize prevention and reversal.” Profound shift.
English
We don’t have a healthcare policy problem.
We have a poisoning problem.
Europe doesn’t have better healthcare policy than us. Their cells are just less poisoned.
We need to fix that, and it happens outside of the doctor’s office.

@bryan_johnson Ample physical activity during the day has definitely lowered my RHR—which is such a good gauge of your health. My RHR increased days before I tested positive for COVID.

A few weeks ago I spoke about lowing your resting heart rate before bed as the #1 thing you can do to improve your health and well-being.
Whose done it and what have you experienced?

@offbeatorbit On the upside maybe elder millennials will escape the curse of ageism

Absolutely pathetic. Deeply embarrassing. Shameful stuff.

this one actually is soooooo depressing like they're already resigned to being slaves to generative AI and it's only been a real thing for a couple years

@drmarkhyman So I guess you are also advocating for the regulation of land, water, and air—as well as for labor rights laws and affordable housing and against tariffs that will make it more possible to have a life that is conducive to “make healthy choices”? Right? Right??

Cancelling Medicare coverage for GLP-1s is exactly the right move—and long overdue.
We should never put weight loss drugs ahead of real, whole food, movement, and sleep. Ozempic should be a last resort, not a first-line fix.
We don’t have a willpower problem—we have a system problem that treats symptoms instead of root causes.
Let’s get diet and lifestyle interventions reimbursed and prioritized first.
It’s time for a #FoodFix.

Hey Democrats - maybe put down the polls for five minutes and do something about the fact that our government disappeared a Maryland father to a foreign torture dungeon.
Yoni Appelbaum@YAppelbaum
NEW: In a court filing this evening, the Trump administration said that it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a notorious Salvadoran prison due to an "administrative error."

And at this point, I think there needs to be a boycott of donations to all Senate Democrats until they force Chuck Schumer to step down as leader. Enough is enough.

I'll be supporting a primary challenge against Chuck Schumer. Time for him to go.
