The Atlantic: What Kids Told Us About How to Get Them Off Their Phones
In March, the Harris Poll surveyed more than 500 children ages 8 to 12 across the United States, who were assured that their answers would remain private.

Exploiting a death like this is disrespectful, and putting words in his mouth to support a political position, is dishonest.

SciTechDaily: Why Plant-Based Eggs Are Finally Getting the Spotlight
The team also asked participants to rate how plant-based eggs would compare to traditional ones. Unsurprisingly, expected taste and appearance still favor the classic egg.
A plant-based egg, is not an egg. Not even a little bit. A traditional egg comes from a chicken. If the cook is using ostrich or turtle eggs to make my omelet, he is obliged to make that clear.
