I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

This Herb Was Used for Anxiety Attacks Before Xanax Existed

Passionflower has been used as a folk remedy for anxiety for generations, long before Xanax or other prescription options existed. What's interesting is that it's been studied directly against a prescription anti-anxiety medication, with some promising results. I keep it on hand for days when anxiety feels like it's creeping up. 😊

Moose Farts Are the No-Bake Treat Everyone Talks About

Moose Farts get laughs from the name, but the flavor is what keeps people returning to the plate. These Canadian-inspired no-bake bites combine chocolate, coconut, graham crumbs, and creamy sweetness in a soft, rich little treat. Each ball is small enough to eat in a few bites but packed with enough texture and flavor to satisfy a serious dessert craving. Because there is no oven involved, they come together easily and remain a practical option when the kitchen is already busy or the weather is too warm for baking.

5 Foods You Should Never Wash Before Cooking, According to USDA

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.
