Pennsylvania Mayor slams ‘Love Island USA’ contestant Sean Reifel for quitting his police job to be on the show:
“Our police department spent a lot of time training and we paid thousands of taxpayer dollars to send him to the police academy.

Imagine a restaurant chain called “Macros.”
You walk in, tap your target macros into a kiosk — protein, carbs, fats, calories — and choose your preferred ingredients: chicken breast, rice, potatoes, greek yogurt, eggs, vegetables, etc.

Then a cook behind the counter assembles it Chipotle-style, weighing every ingredient on a scale down to the gram.
Fast food for people who track their calories.
