The latest craze is "plant-based" foods, like the burgers from Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. They simulate the taste and texture of beef, and the Impossible burger even bleeds just like rare meat would. But are these meat alternatives really better for you?

Here is a second story from Harvard Medical School, as well as a third one.
During last week's debates, some candidates said that no one likes their health insurance companies. The same cannot be said about home insurers, however. In this survey, insureds gave Amica Mutual an unheard of top ranking for the 18th consecutive year! The U.S. Home Insurance Study examines overall customer satisfaction with two distinct personal insurance product lines: homeowners and renters. Satisfaction in the homeowners and renters insurance segments is measured by examining five factors: interaction; policy offerings; price; billing process and policy information; and claims.
