The Hoff Crab is neither a crab nor is it David Hasselhoff. It is a Yeti Crab, which is neither a Yeti nor a Crab but a sub-group of Squat Lobsters, which are not lobsters, they're Anomurans, like Mole Crabs, which are neither moles, nor crabs.

We think dietary fiber was neglected in the latest dietary guidelines. Here is our take: www.washingtonpost.com/ripple/

Nice to see coverage of the dietary guidelines committee's great work. The big question now is how to get Americans to eat more whole grains and beans. We'll be publishing a lot of papers on that in 2025 stay tuned... www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

U.S. dietary guidelines should emphasize beans and lentils as protein, new proposal says

The report, from an advisory committee to the USDA, also suggests encouraging people to reduce their intake of sugary drinks and sodium and eat more whole grains.

Outbreaks of H5N1 continue to rise in dairy cattle and poultry, as well as in other wild and domesticated animals, including the first confirmed infection in a pig. Human cases also continue to occur, primarily—but not exclusively—in people who had exposure to infected animals.
