There may also have been some geopolitical considerations. Long-term geopolitical stability and supply chains were among the factors considered. While both finalists were from close allies (the UK and the US), Sweden may have preferred a European-based industrial partnership for a strategic infrastructure project expected to operate for 60 years or more.

Trump announced the end of the war with Iran on his birthday. That's obviously no coincidence. The Iranians are more astute than Trump thinks, and they've understood exactly what he's up to. That's why I don't think this agreement will amount to much.

Submission + - More Than Half Of What Americans Eat Is Ultra-Processed (studyfinds.com) 2

fjo3 writes: A group of leading nutrition scientists, food policy lawyers, and public health experts has released what may be the most actionable blueprint yet for tackling one of the biggest threats to American health: ultra-processed food. Released in May 2026 by Healthy Eating Research, the report offers a concrete definition of what ultra-processed food is and a ranked list of policy options lawmakers could act on right now.

More than half of calories eaten by American adults come from ultra-processed foods, industrial products containing few or no real whole-food ingredients and made with additives that keep them cheap, shelf-stable, and highly appealing. For kids, that figure climbs even higher. A recent study found that of 651 baby and toddler food products sold in the eight largest grocery stores in North Carolina, 71% were classified as ultra-processed.
