Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Here’s the thing with major problems. If you don’t take them seriously enough, they get worse. And worse and worse and worse. On Thursday, the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) released the 16th annual “State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America” report , and surprise, surprise, the obesity epidemic in America has gotten worse. Just take a look at how many states had adult obesity rates of at least 35% in 2018, based on the report: nine.

- A + A LOS ANGELES (Aug 7): "Bullet Train," a John Wick-ian romp with Brad Pitt in the aisle seat, arrived in theaters with a $30.1 million opening weekend. That's enough to top the domestic box office chart, but it's only a so-so result given "Bullet Train's" $90 million price tag and Pitt's star power. The Sony Pictures release will need to maintain its momentum in the coming weeks as it tries to break even or turn a profit. "Bullet Train" is trying to prove that an action flick that isn't based on a comic book or a toy-line can defy the odds and resonate with audiences.

An Egyptian security source said Israel had agreed to the proposal, while a Palestinian official familiar with Egyptian efforts said the ceasefire would go into effect at 20:00 (1700 GMT). Spokespeople for Israel and Islamic Jihad , the faction it has been fighting in Gaza since clashes erupted on Friday, did not confirm this, saying only that they were in contact with Cairo. The flare-up, recalling preludes to previous Gaza wars, has worried world powers. However, it has been relatively contained as Hamas, the governing Islamist … [Read more...] about Israel, Palestinians agree truce from Sunday evening
