Farm-to-table osteria? A Michelin-starred trattoria?
“…It’s an Italian kindergarten.”
As someone who grew up on cardboard cafeteria pizzas that would make any self-respecting Neapolitan scream for mommy, I’m rather surprised. And that’s exactly the problem, writes Blakemore, a military spouse from Michigan who lives in Vicenza, Italy.
She described how her child’s kindergarten prioritized meals prepared on-site and banned outside food. Other schools respond from outside the school, but freshness is always the rule. Her delicious dishes will leave you hungry. And she may feel a little resentful about the way American school children are fed.
Perhaps parmesan risotto followed by rabbit roulade with spinach would be unrealistic in the US (and maybe I should enroll in an Italian kindergarten!). But Blakemore suggests that even modest modifications aimed at healthier foods could encourage American children to seek out more of the la dolce vita.
Ron DeSantis finally hung up his boots and withdrew from the race, suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination over the weekend. All that remains is a battle between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, but don’t mistake that for some kind of contest.
Karen Tumarti Reports from New Hampshire say Tuesday’s victory there is looking increasingly likely as Haley’s last real relief. Despite doubling her support in the Granite State since November, Haley still trails Trump by nearly 20 points.
Cullen blames a campaign that wasn’t bold enough to generate a lot of “vanilla ice cream-dropping applause among Republican audiences” instead of delivering the “hard truths” it promotes.
If there is any hope for Haley, Cullen said it probably lies in the broad nature of New Hampshire’s race. In other words, voters who are not affiliated with any political party (among multiple parties in the state) can vote in the primary of their choice. Non-Republicans could be the real force.
matt bye Data shows that many Democrats are also rooting for Haley, even if her victory ultimately means President Biden loses.
Matt writes that the Biden vs. Trump option is “a tremendous risk” for “a significant number of voters, including Democrats,” more than an excuse. I don’t know how many, but I’m pretty sure it’s not.”Less than one-third — they’re more Trump supporters than Biden supporters. ”
If wishes were horses, Haley would pass the post a mile first. unfortunately, Ted Johnson “Most people believe that the outcome has already been determined,” he said.
He sees the almost inevitable Trump-Biden contest as not just a reenactment, but also the finale of “the end of the ’80s’ presidency.”
In essence, Ted writes, both Biden and Trump are figures from the decade when “the country tried to shake off its gloom” by winning, winning, winning. Ted isn’t surprised by the rematch, considering America is desperate for a comeback.
But age means the spirit of the ’80s is quickly evaporating, and let’s be honest, maybe it’s time.
Chaser: counterpoint from E.J. Dionne:Trump is do not have It’s a colossus, and the parties driving that narrative are a torn mess.
From doctors and activists Uche Blackstocks An essay on the patella of black medicine in America. Adapted from her new book on racism in healthcare.
Blackstock provides a history of the 1910 Flexner Report by white educational expert Abraham Flexner, which standardized medical schools in the United States. Most of the existing black schools (which had already graduated hundreds of doctors) were closed because they lacked the resources to maintain them.
Blackstock writes that generations of black doctors have disappeared. Think about how different health care would be for Black people today, and how much less inequalities, she suggests, if those doctors had arrived.
The Flexner report is just one brick in the high wall that has long kept black people from health care. Identifying others is the first step toward fairness. Mr. Blackstock’s essay is also featured in the following essays, which offer solutions on how to begin to break down those barriers.
Chaser: of editorial committee If the Biden administration wants to save Black lives, the impending decision to ban menthol cigarettes is not a difficult one, they wrote.
The most optimistic camp regarding respect for Chevron believes that if the Supreme Court, as expected, abandons the principle that allows Congress to delegate rule-making authority to more specialized agencies, Congress will The idea is that there will be no choice but to strengthen responsibility and responsibility. Create less ambiguous laws.
Ramesh Ponnuru Not in this camp. Voters have accepted that Congress is completely dysfunctional, and no court ruling will prevent Congress from doing its job.
Jason Wyrick The Supreme Court also puts forward an interesting argument that (in a sense) it should skip that job. Regarding the impending ruling on Mr. Trump’s eligibility to remain in the presidential race, most commentators want the court to make a clear ruling on whether the former president is eligible or not.
Jason insists on secret number three: punting.
Chaser: Conservatives want to free up the courts. editorial committee It is a tribute to Chevron. They may regret asking.
