Despite the best efforts of our political elites to ban sodas, among other products deemed unhealthy by our growing nanny state, Americans just continue to grow ever fatter. According to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control, 40% of Americans are now obese, a new all-time record high, and over 70% are overweight. Per NBC:
A brand new Manhattan Shake Shack set to open its doors later this month in Astor Place will offer guests all the same great-tasting burgers, dogs and shakes as other locations but it will be missing one costly component that most other restaurants still depend on: cashiers.
As the NY Post points out today, Shake Shack will be using it's newest location to test a fully automated ordering system that will allow customers to order at kiosks or via the company's app and then pick up their food once they get a text.
Along with murdering nearly 60 people, and seriously injuring more than 500 others during a rampage shooting from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort and casino, Stephen Paddock will also be remembered as the reason why future patrons must wait in line for 15 minutes before entering any hotel or casino on the Las Vegas strip.
Somehow, Boston 25 News has obtained exclusive photos from what they describe as "police sources" purportedly showing the guns used during Sunday night's massacre in Las Vegas, where a 64-year-old shooter with a room full of weapons fired on a country music festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino and resort, killing 59 people and injuring more than 500.

Between 2007 - 2010, a USDA study estimated that 1 in 8 Americans ate some form of pizza on any given day. That number climbs to about 1 in 4 for males and 1 in 5 for females when looking specifically at Americans age 12 to 19. There’s no escaping it; pizza is engrained in our diets.
Pizza is not only a pillar of the American diet, but also of our culture.
