Hammer Museum renovations near completion | Los Angeles Times
The Hammer Museum’s more than two-decade-long building transformation is about to cross the finish line: The museum said Tuesday it will premiere the final phase of its expansion and renovations project on March 26. … “It’s just incredibly exciting,” museum Director Ann Philbin said in an interview, adding that because construction was incremental over so many years, “it was hard to imagine an end to it. But now, this is the moment when we open the front door and the new entry, this is the moment when everyone’s going to really notice what we’ve been doing.”

Few Americans know or heed nutrition guide | Associated Press
More than a decade after Agriculture Department officials ditched the [food] pyramid, few Americans have heard of MyPlate, a dinner plate-shaped logo that emphasizes fruits and vegetables. … But the guide left out crucial details, said Dr. Vijaya Surampudi, a nutrition specialist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It doesn’t differentiate between starchy vegetables and non-starchy vegetables,” she said. “There’s no fats on there.”
Reviewing weight loss plans for men | Forbes
“I recommend a whole food, plant-based diet for men for weight loss,” says Dana Ellis Hunnes, Ph.D., a senior clinical dietitian at UCLA Health. “Plant-based diets are high in fiber, fruits and vegetables, which are anti-inflammatory, are satiating and fuel your muscles and brain.” While there are different iterations of plant-based diets, they all emphasize nutritious plant foods while limiting animal products, such as meat, eggs and dairy, as well as refined and processed foods.
