Sales of Oreo Cookie’s Biggest Competitor Skyrocket After Company Officially Goes Non-GMO
The best-selling cookie in the United States is Oreo by a wide margin, racking up nearly $700 million in sales for Nabisco in 2017. But the cookie is far from healthy, as most consumers know, and the issue is made worse by the fact that it contains GMO ingredients and has even tested positive for concerning amounts of the controversial Monsanto chemical glyphosate. Now, however, Oreo’s biggest rival has officially gone non-GMO, and it could help lead to much-needed changes within the industry in due time.

China Boosts J-20 Stealth Fighter Production to Counter U.S. and Japanese F-35s*Kris Osborn* *China J-20, Indo-Pacific* When it comes to projecting regional power, the J-20 is likely to play an important role in Chinese military strategy as the jet can reach both Japan and Taiwan from mainland China without needing aerial refueling. China is pushing to quickly produce large numbers of fifth-generation J-20 stealth fighters, a move which could further solidify the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) as a dominant regional power. Lacking a carrier-launched fifth-generation fighter able to project power from the sea, China would likely rely upon its la... read more

Do You Think You Know the AR15?*Peter Suciu* *Guns, Americas* The most commonly spread misinformation is that the AR-15 and similar firearms are also “high powered” weapons. That is technically inaccurate. The AR-15 is often used as a scapegoat for gun violence. Some media reports have even noted that the “assault rifle” is a weapon of war that has no place in the hands of the average civilian. It is often described as “nearly identical” to what U.S. warfighters carried on the battlefields of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. The backlash from these reports has become so great that retailers such as Dick’s Spor... read more

Stop Trying to Make Fear HappenYou know what they say about the 1960s, "If you can remember it, you probably weren't there"? There's something like that going on about inflation in the 1970s, as in this column by Barron's retirement columnist, Neal Templin: When I was a young reporter in the 1980s, my newspaper gave me raises twice a year for a while. I’d like to tell you I earned the salary boosts through extraordinary merit, but all the reporters got them. The reason: The inflation rate was so high then that it was considered a hardship to go a full year between raises. Amazing, huh? After decades of re... read more

The Fickle ‘Science’ of Lockdowns[image: undefined] ‘Follow the science” has been the battle cry of lockdown supporters since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Yet before March 2020, the mainstream scientific community, including the World Health Organization, strongly opposed lockdowns and similar measures against infectious disease. That judgment came from historical analysis of pandemics and an awareness that societywide restrictions have severe socioeconomic costs and almost entirely speculative benefits. Our pandemic response, premised on lockdowns and closely related “non-pharmaceutical interventions,” or NPIs, r... read more
