Now here’s today’s agriculture news.
The Lead
A first-of-its kind study has found lung-irritating particles from fertilizer, feed lots and manure cause thousands of premature deaths each year. As the Washington Post reports, the study found 17,900 U.S. deaths per year are attributed to agricultural pollution across the United States. The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
“The food system has really flown under the radar” as a source of deadly pollution, said University of Minnesota professor Jason Hill, the lead author of the new report, told the Post. “But what we eat affects not just our own health, but the health of others. We’re showing that directly.”

Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett carried star power throughout their careers and still possess it, all of them now five years removed from their final games as NBA greats. Each was an NBA champion, an MVP, an Olympic gold medalist, annual locks for All-Star and All-Defensive teams.
Today is National Eat What You Want Day, meaning there s no excuse not to eat everything and anything you want, even if it s an entire box of chocolates and then some.
We re celebrating the indulgent day with these salted almond butter cups - mimicking the traditional Reese s PB cups, minus the dairy. This recipe also calls for almond butter instead of peanut butter but since you can have it your way today (and every day) feel free to stick to traditional with PB if that s what you prefer.
Even though it s National Eat What You Want Day, you can still enjoy your favorite treats with healthier swaps every day. By limiting dairy from your diet, you re lowering inflammation in your body that s caused by the dairy protein casein which can trigger inflammation in your joints. Natural plant-based alternatives are just as good and are healthier than the real thing such as nut-based or seed-based milk.
