Sushi in America almost didn’t happen.People born in America in the ‘90s take their local spicy tuna roll for granted—but we ‘80s babies remember a depraved world in which eating raw fish was unheard of. We were alive when the rainbow roll almost didn’t make it to the Western Hemisphere—where the average suburban kid couldn’t name a single nigiri topping, and spicy mayo was not yet its own food group.The globalization of sushi culture wasn’t inevitable. It hinged on a single, unexpected catalyst–not Japan and not even fish itself—a blue ocean strategy and branding campaign led by a Nordic country…

Instead, Tesla rejected that offer, according to new legal filings that were first reported by Reuters. The settlement proposal, which was made in May, was disclosed in a filing that requested Tesla cover legal fees for the plaintiffs in the case. Earlier this month, a jury in federal court in Miami found Tesla partly to blame for a fatal 2019 crash that involved the use of the company’s Autopilot driver assistance…

Zoe Williams is sadly not alone in being unable to identify 30 plants a week to eat (We should all be eating 30 different plants a week. I can’t even name that many, 19 August). Nowadays 50% of the world’s daily calorie intake comes from just three species: wheat, corn and rice.In 2020, I decided to live off “foraging for nettles” – as Zoe puts it – for a year in Scotland, eating only free, wild food. During that period I ate 300 plant species, 21 seaweed species and 87 types of mushroom. This is not untypical of hunter-gatherer intake, and most…

India fears a planned Chinese mega dam in Tibet will reduce water flows on a major river by up to 85% during the dry season, according to four sources familiar with the matter and a government analysis seen by Reuters, prompting Delhi to fast-track plans for its own dam to mitigate the effects. FRANCE 24 speaks to Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. He says the main driver behind China’s push to build mega-dams is power-hungry technologies like AI.
