Get ready as we pull back the curtain on the retail world, where a colossal merger hangs in the balance. We're breaking down the proposed union of Kroger and Albertsons, scrutinizing what it might mean for suppliers, consumers, and workers alike, and we're not shying away from the contentious payout for Albertson's executives. We'll also give a nod to FreshDirect's commendable drive to support New York's local brands and the uplifting impact it might have on local producers. Plus, we're shining a spotlight on the diverse local businesses that FreshDirect is featuring this August.
We're also shifting our focus to Harvard telling their graduate students to apply for SNAP benefits. We'll switch gears to discuss the unanticipated health benefits of watercress - the superfood you never knew you needed and ponder whether it will soon grace your fast food orders. We'll wrap things up with a critical look at the proposed Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, the need for stricter regulations on social media use by children, and remind you to check out new initiative Food Not Phones.
