Rethinking Ultraprocessed Foods

Americans get about 58 percent of our calories from foods that are considered “ultraprocessed” — a broad category of food products that are typically loaded with varieties of sugar, salt, fats, and additives. The processing is what makes Nutri-Grain bars irresistible, fills sports drinks with instant energy, and gives vegan shrimp their bounce. It’s also impacting our collective health in big ways that are only beginning to be understood. This special series, produced in partnership with the Food & Environmental Reporting Network (FERN), aims to shed light into a category of food we all consume, thoughtfully or with abandon, for better and worse.

‘Dragon Age: The Veilguard’ Is Worth A Second Look Now That It’s On PlayStation Plus

Compared to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus is lacking in big new releases. But while Sony is sticking to its policy of not bringing first-party titles to the service on launch day, new games have started appearing on PS Plus more frequently. February saw Don’t Nod’s Lost Records: Bloom and Rage - Tape 1 show up on release day, and now March is kicking off with one of the biggest — and most divisive — RPGs of 2024.

You’ve probably heard a lot about Dragon Age: The Veilguard already, and a lot of it likely hasn’t been positive. As the latest entry in a beloved RPG series that hadn’t put a game out in a decade, The Veilguard had a lot to live up to, and it didn’t quite succeed. But even though it wasn’t what long-time fans of the series were hoping for, there’s still plenty to love about The Veilguard if you know what to expect going in.
