The report stated that about 35 million Americans sometimes don't always know where their next meal will come from, and a third of those sometimes experience "very low food security...

For the moment, Max is safely secreted with a friend in the countryside, beyond the jurisdiction of the Beijing municipality's strict rules limiting each city household to a single dog, and limiting its size. While the regulations have existed in various forms for years, enforcement has been lax until recently. Many owners of oversize dogs had previously simply walked their German shepherds and golden retrievers under cover darkness. But a recent crackdown by Beijing police - ostensibly aimed...
