"The suspect was caught on video trying to escape police in Largo on Sunday
"A squad car was hot on the man's heels as he pedaled down a residential street
"He went flying over the bike's front wheel after hitting a steep curb
"A cop in the cruiser jumps out, runs over and discharges his taser at the man

The man must have been a threat after his faceplant

"No longer will the streets of fair Berkeley be dotted with manholes;
nary a womanhole or nonbinaryhole in sight. With Tuesday night's vote,

While considering that it's time to drop "hole" (they're more than holes in the ground),
"maintenance orifice" came to mind, but "maintenance office" has less innuendo ...

Apparently, lotsa wine has to be consumed for a beneficial amount of resveratrol.

"Systolic blood pressure typically goes up with age, as arteries stiffen.
"Resveratrol may accomplish this blood-pressure-lowering effect by helping to produce more nitric oxide,
which causes blood vessels to relax"

"Movements of students are watched by three cameras positioned above the blackboard,

angry, scared and surprised. If the technology concludes a student is distracted in class,
it will send a notification to the teacher to take action."

Who can tell?! A happy student might be distracted!

Obviously, the state needs to promote pictures of perfect students

Not exactly "in the shape of a horse" (considering all of the solar panels),

"That's the ticket!" ... for declining breakfast cereal sales:

Maybe sales of diabetes supplies, medical services, etc.

Instead of so much sweet stuff on top of a traditional pastry ring,
why not experiment with new shapes and less sugary, colorful toppings.
At least, shunt the sweeter stuff aside as doughnut dippin's.

"older adults over the age of 55 who consumed more than 50 grams of chili per day

Interestingly, slimmer adults indulging in a spicy diet exhibited even more significant memory loss.

"A person who is pansexual is attracted to those of any gender. The dictionary defines the term
as 'not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity.'"

"Pansexual" may be similar to Groups AB and O blood types:
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/218285.php

"(Group O plasma) can be donated to a person with any ABO blood type"
"Individuals with type AB can receive any ABO blood type"

Maybe sexual orientation (and identity) can be coded with letters
... from "All of the Above" (AA) to "None of the Above" (NA) -
AANA would refer to a person attracted to "those of any gender"
but identifying as "not any gender".

Further, AANA could refer to female and MANA to male
... according to their traditional physical features ...
with both attracted to All and identifying as None ...
and they could have AANAMANA relationships ...
or MANAAANA, depending on dominance.

But this seems oxymoronic ...
A person attracted to any gender could not be attracted
to a person having no gender ("no" excludes "any").

"The Paleo regimen consists of protein-heavy, low-carb items, including meats, fish and veggies, and limited fruit.
The diet excludes legumes, grains, dairy, refined sugar, salt and processed oils."

"populations of beneficial bacterial species* were lower in the Paleolithic groups, associated with the reduced carbohydrate intake,
which may have consequences for other chronic diseases over the long term."

* beneficial bacteria also need food complementary to their maintenance

The Keto diet seems closely related to Paleo with similar exclusions of legumes and grains, albeit fat is Keto's primary nutrient.
Some nutritionists suggest that a Keto diet might be good for quicker weight loss but not for long-term food consumption.

as the saturated fat content is similar to beef burgers and they contain higher sodium levels' University of Ottawa."

Marketed as a tasty faux meat burger but just a new food type with heavily processed ingredients.
Not a good substitute for meat lovers, but will appeal to those who are fond of such "faux food" types
(consider all of the popular snack foods that are unlike "real food").

Analysis: A good offering from fast food perspective, but "faux meat" needs to be dropped from advertising
since meat lovers are cautioned that it's not the real deal, albeit somewhat related to real food.

"faux meat" needs to be dropped from advertising

With "burger" so closely associated - for many decades - with beef patties,
a new name seems required for veggie patties meant to substitute for burgers:
"Grounder" (veggie burger) could refer to any patty of ground ground
