Enjoy those happy hour margaritas while you can. An agave (tequila’s main ingredient) shortage is hitting Mexico as tequila demand has increased worldwide. According to Reuters, the plant’s price has gone up sixfold in the past two years.

Your Compostable Takeout Container Might Have A Dangerous Chemical

Poke around a typical office at midday, and you’re likely to see at least a few compostable fiber bowls from restaurants like Chipotle and Sweetgreen holding your coworkers’ lunches. As fast-casual chains compete for customers in cities across the U.S., many companies tout these eco-friendly containers as a way to brand themselves as environmentally responsible. But an investigation by The New Food Economy calls those claims into question: These supposedly compostable bowls are made with fluorinated compounds, called PFAS, that don’t ever break down naturally and could carry serious public health risks....

E Cigarettes Might Negatively Affect Heart Health Research Shows

E-cigarettes seem to cause constant controversy. On one hand, you’ll hear (probably from someone who vapes) that smoking e-cigarettes is a healthy way to knock cigarettes for good.

Then you’ve got plenty of in-betweeners saying that, hey, vaping is better than those old-fashioned, lung-shriveling cancer sticks, but the jury’s still out on just how freely you can use the word “healthy” to describe it....
