- Inflation will be affecting food prices in the U.S. and around the world this year. This is especially true because corn is affected and corn is in everything in the U.S. (think high fructose corn syrup and animal feed), so meat and eggs will rise, too. These prices will consequently affect prices at restaurants.
- Wal-Mart to begin to sell more healthy food, a five-year planned developed in part with First Lady Michelle Obama. Packaged foods at the retailer are now set to be lower in salt, sugar, fat and Wal-Mart will also sell fruits and veggies cheaper.
- The U.S. House votes to repeal Health Care Reform, the Republican-controlled House voted 245-189 to repeal the law with the bill Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.
- U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords – D, can now stand up with help from hospital staff and will be moved to Houston for rehab.
- Global warming making ocean, land hotter than previously thought, according to a report from the journal Nature Geoscience, a new study found that the Earth’s warming is “substantially larger” than previously thought.
