Reuters reported that the US military launched a secret operation during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic to combat China's increasing influence in the Philippines, a country severely hit by the deadly virus. The operation aimed to sow doubts about the safety and efficacy of Chinese vaccines and aid by creating fake Filipino social media accounts that criticized the quality of masks, testing kits, and Chinese Sinovac vaccines. The US military's campaign started in spring 2020 and expanded beyond Southeast Asia, ending in mid-2021 under former President Trump's leadership and continued under President Biden, despite warnings from social media executives.

Dr. Kurihara Tsuyoshi, director of Tokyo Nihonbashi Kurahara Clinic, highlights the importance of eating slowly to promote protein absorption and reduce fat. Chewing food slowly stimulates saliva production, aiding in protein breakdown in the mouth before full digestion in the intestines. Slow eating allows pancreatic enzymes and bile to effectively break down proteins in the intestines, helping muscle growth. Eating too quickly hinders complete nutrient absorption and can lead to overeating. The ideal meal duration is around 20 minutes, allowing time for satiety signals to reach the brain. Dr. Kurihara suggests a method of putting down chopsticks after each bite, chewing 30 times, to overcome fast eating habits. Other habits like watching TV while eating may aid in slower consumption. This article contains valuable insights on the benefits of slow eating for health and weight management.
