My Brother ’s Pregnancy and the Making of a New American Family
When the call came, my brother was at work in the open office in Cambridge, Mass., he shares with seven colleagues who, like him, help run clinical trials for a drug developer. The phone number came up blocked, so he knew it must be the doctor. He stood up, unsteady on his feet. Was he a little nauseous? Or was that just adrenaline? He ducked into the hallway in search of quiet. My brother Evan, 35, is a stocky guy of medium height with a trimmed, fuzzy blond beard and two gem studs in each earlobe. He usually wears a Red Sox hat, and when he’s nervous, he’ll remove it and obsessively bend the rim. But on that ...

A Surprising Amount Of Millennials Want Dinner More Than Sex, Study Says
Food and sex are two of life’s greatest things. Sometimes they’re great together, but they’re also awesome separately. So when we found a statistic indicating a higher-than-expected proportion of millennials love dinner more than sex, we were intrigued. The report, from ad agency Havas Worldwide, says that 54 percent of millennials find that “eating can be just as pleasurable as sex.” It also says that when given the choice between sex and “an excellent dinner at a restaurant,” 35 percent would do dinner ― a percentage shared with the boomers (a.k.a a lot of the millennials&rsquo...

How to Turn Snacking Into Your Secret Diet Weapon
Let's face it: the pothole in every dieter's road to success is hunger. We don't eat just because something tastes good: we eat because we're totally starving! Strategic snacking is one of the most effective weapons you have against a poor food choice or (shudder!) a binge. When you keep your hunger in check with an appropriate snack, you're making it much easier to stick to your healthy food choices. But there's a key word here -- strategic. You want to be mindful of what you're putting in your body. If you snack mindlessly (and sometimes stress or fatigue can promote mindless snacking) you'll be adding extra calories to ...

Why This Should Be the Summer You Live IRL
As a writer and journalist in her 20s, I suppose I fit the description of "social media obsessed" that comes with my age bracket. The latest Snapchat filters? I've amused myself with them for hours. Where do I find out about current events most of the time? Twitter. How do I show people when I reunite with friends or make homemade pastries? Instagram. But a funny thought occurred to me recently, and I feel like I'm not the only one who's thought it: I've become part of a generation that is forgetting how to feel spontaneous joy because we're too busy trying to prove it. It occurred to me last weekend when some plans fell ...

Bernie Sanders Will Out-Eat You In Raisin Bran ANY DAY
Medium-rare is how Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders takes his steak. If the nation elected its president on eating habits alone (this year's primary is so bizarre it wouldn't be the weirdest thing), Sanders would positively trump Trump, who enjoys his steak so well-done that it rocks on the plate.  As we've gleaned from a recent feature in The Washington Post, Sanders' diet isn't all filet mignon. In fact, it's safe to say his eating habits are pretty plain -- minus that whole having an eponymous Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor thing.  When he's not on the road, Sanders will have R...
