The new class of weight-loss and diabetes drugs are changing not just how much American households are eating, but even precisely what they buy at a supermarket or restaurant.
Why do I file bug reports with Apple Feedback Assistant ? I plead insanity. Or perhaps addiction. I seesaw between phases of abstinence and falling off the wagon. I’ve even tried organizing a public boycott of Feedback Assistant, with a list of demands to improve the experience for users, but the boycott never caught…
