For This Company, Plant-Based Foods Comes From a 100-Year Vision

Many companies have had to pivot quickly and focus the COVID-19 related challenges confronting them; Bolthouse Farms says it’s doing exactly this and more. The San Joaquin Valley-based company responded to increased consumer demand for plant-based food by doing what it has done best for the past century; pursuing its vision of “plants powering people.” That means a renewed commitment to plant-based food products.

This vision is a verified consumer trend. According to the Plant Based Food Association (PBFA), the rate of growth in U.S. sales of plant-based food products has actually exceeded the growth rate of total food sales since the COVID-19 pandemic ensued in March 2020. Shortly after, Bolthouse launched new plant-based food products to hit store shelves this fall.

Founded in 1915, Bolthouse Farms has become an American powerhouse of juices, smoothies, plant-based protein beverages and refrigerated salad dressings. Nevertheless, over the years it has not been

1. Most people can see a million colors

Scientists estimate that the average person can see at least a million colors thanks to the eye’s cone cells, which send signals to the brain that allow us to perceive different hues. If that sounds impressive, consider that people with a rare condition called tetrachromacy have an extra type of cone cell and can see as many as 100 million colors as a result!

2. You spend 10 percent of your waking hours blinking

Blinking keeps your eyes lubricated and protects them from dust and debris, which may help explain why we do so much of it: The average person blinks between 15 and 20 times per minute, or 14,400 to 19,200 times a day — that’s about 10 percent of your waking life, or upwards of 5 million times in a year.

On Thursday evening, President Trump spoke about his health care accomplishments and invited the American people to share in his vision for his second term, which he has coined the American First Health Care Plan.

The president’s work on health care so far has helped tremendously to assuage voters’ fears about skyrocketing premiums and unexpected medical bills. Key to this has been offering affordable alternatives to rigid, pricey ObamaCare plans. President Trump expanded access to association health plans, which allow small business owners to band together to buy insurance like one big company—at a significantly reduced cost. These plans could lower premiums for more than four million Americans and encourage entrepreneurship during a time when Americans desperately need entrepreneurs to create jobs and bring our economy

Trump promotes health care ‘vision’ but gaps remain

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — More than three-and-a-half years into his presidency and 40 days from an election, President Donald Trump on Thursday launched what aides termed a “vision” for health care heavy on unfulfilled aspirations.

“This is affirmed, signed, and done, so we can put that to rest,” Trump said. He signed an executive order on a range of issues, including protecting people with preexisting medical conditions from insurance discrimination.

But that right is already guaranteed in the Obama-era health law his administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissively said Trump’s “bogus executive order on pre-existing conditions isn’t worth the paper it’s signed on.” Democrats are betting heavily that they have the edge on health care this election season.

Trump spoke at an airport hangar in swing-state North Carolina to a crowd that included white-coated, mask-wearing health care workers. He stood on a podium in

Trump’s health care ‘vision’ punts on two major issues

President Donald Trump is touting what he calls his health care “vision,” but the executive orders he’s planning to sign Thursday afternoon largely punt on addressing two major issues facing Americans.

The measures, which fall far short of a comprehensive proposal, come less than six weeks before the presidential election and serve as a political play to shore up concerns at a swing state event. Democratic nominee Joe Biden has already committed to making health care a focal point of the rest of his campaign, highlighting Trump’s actions to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and the unprecedented protections the law already provides for people with pre-existing conditions.

The President is also looking to shift attention away from criticism of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. More than 200,000 Americans have died from the virus over the past six months.

The first executive order will state that
