Michigan’s Greater Lansing Food Bank is grappling with a major Cyclospora outbreak, forcing them to discard 800 to 1,200 pounds of food weekly—mostly bagged shredded lettuce and pre-packaged salads. With the source still unknown, they’re working closely with health officials to avoid risky produce. Despite the loss, the food bank stays resilient thanks to a steady stream of donations and partnerships with retailers to block contaminated items before they arrive. Even unsalvageable food gets repurposed via anaerobic digesters, turning waste into biogas and fertilizer—making safety and sustainability go hand in hand.

GLP-1 weight loss drugs are exploding in popularity—jumping from 6% to 15% users in just two years—but experts warn they’re not magic bullets. For lasting results, you need a registered dietitian to build healthy habits, consistent meals, and exercise routines. These meds can kickstart weight loss, but weight often rebounds once you stop. Common side effects like nausea also remind us that weight management is a complex, long-term journey requiring more than pills—real lifestyle changes that stick, even when life gets busy.

Tawas Point Lighthouse turns 150 and is throwing a free, family-friendly bash on August 7th and 8th—perfectly timed for National Lighthouse Day. Built in 1876 after the original was swallowed by sand, this beacon has guided ships for over a century and a half. Friday’s event features crafts, games, stories, and local orgs—all free. Saturday’s highlight? A free concert by Lee Murdock, with lighthouse entry costing just a small fee (kids still in!).
National Lighthouse Day, August 7th, honors the 1789 federal lighthouse law—no official holiday, but big on history. With over 200 active lighthouses on the Great Lakes, Tawas Point’s milestone is a chance to celebrate engineering, resilience, and maritime heritage.
