For decades, the baby food aisle has been dominated by big players like Nestlé, which makes Gerber brand products, and Danone, whose brands include Happy Family. Angela Vranich and Ben Lewis—high school sweethearts turned entrepreneurs—wanted to change this. Even though they didn’t yet have children, they believed that millennial parents were looking for new sources of food for their growing families. “Millennials had spent their twenties drinking fresh-pressed juices and eating salads,” Vranich says. “When they started having kids, they were looking for food that was more nutritious than what they grew up eating.” [Photo: Little Spoon] In 2017, the…

Experts are warning that tariffs on pharmaceuticals are likely to increase shortages of essential medications. The government’s ongoing investigation into the national security implications of importing pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients is widely understood as a precursor to sector-specific tariffs, which a White House advisor has said are likely. On the other hand, the administration recently issued a new executive order laying the groundwork for tariff exemptions for some pharmaceutical products imported from countries that reach trade agreements with the United States. As a result, manufacturers, pharmacists, doctors and patients are in limbo. Digital health companies that make access to prescription…
A decade ago, inventor Jeneva Bell launched a startup called Ruggable that seemed radical at the time: A rug brand with products that you could throw in your home washing machine when they got dirty. Rugs have been a household staple for thousands of years, adding warmth and color. But wool and cotton rugs are delicate and require expert cleaning—which creates challenges for people who have toddlers, or pets, or cups of coffee that occasionally spill. Bell knew there was another way, so she designed a rug with two parts—a base and a polyester top layer—that could be separated and…

Free speech died from COVID in 2020. Any remnants of the First Amendment were eliminated under the Biden Administration in an attempt to control the COVID narrative, and then thereafter, the 2024 US Presidential Election. META/Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted years ago that he was pressured by the Biden Administration to censor content. YouTube was heavily censored during the COVID/election era, and new information from the Counsel for Alphabet reveals how far the Biden Administration went to censor the platform. “Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to [YouTube] and pressed the Company regarding…
AstraZeneca laid out plans on Monday to switch to a direct listing of its shares in the United States, as the drugmaker seeks to maximise gains from a booming U.S. stock market, even as it said it was not exiting London. The decision to remain UK-based and listed there will be of some relief to British investors after media reports suggested the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker—London’s most valuable company—was considering ditching its UK listing in favour of the U.S. London’s stock market has been shrinking due to companies moving away for higher valuations and access to deeper capital markets elsewhere, particularly the…

Bill Gates believes that electronic tattoos will soon replace smartphone technology. This is not a dystopian fable but an active plan set in motion by Chaotic Moon that was acquired by Accenture. Nanocapacitors that conduct electricity will be integrated into the body through these electronic or biometric tattoos and are activated by simple vital signs. Marketing focuses on convenience and futuristic technology. Smart watches would be obsolete as the tattoo tracks body temperature, steps, heart rate, potential health issues, and more. Body gestures would have the power to unlock doors, turn on lights, and connect to the internet. One could…
