NYTimes, bits and pieces

So I found some time to read the NYTimes

• Children don't have strokes: this article has moved me in many ways - fear, curiosity, admiration, sympathy, pride, and ambition - I hope he never, ever, nor any child in this world, would need to go through this situation, nor their parents... how can we use our talent to help move progress faster in the medical field...
• Broccoli Risotto: need I say more?  Another great vegan dish (never had it, but sounds delicious) minus the cheese.
• Too much sitting shortens live: the article refers to couch potatoes, but I think this applies as much to office desk workers, who spend most of their time behind a desk and even eat their meals at their desk: 9 hours of continuous couch potato syndrome.
• Solving things in small steps:  This is a rather innovative and practical solution (at least from the story's view).  A transportable clinic with the latest technology - would the doctors come along with it too - I say this because organizations creating these units may not have medical resources...
• Exaggerated science: even science is blowing their numbers up - not just the corporations, but we can also not trust advocates of science.
• A hard to clean mess: I wonder if Exxon was ever fined for their actions.
• The battle of the greens: so it is no longer only vegans .vs. meat eaters, but it is now green earth .vs. "it's not my problem"... I think neither will win, but they will counter act each other's actions (some will pollute while the others will either clean or polute less)
• Vehicle Exhaust to health problems:  the best part is towards the end of the article, where they state that there is nothing conclusive about the harmful effects of pollution...
• Amazing creatures: this article speaks of insects that can withstand freezing and below temperatures... incredible.
