Government says dogs can dine al fresco but not everyone is on board
"Just in time for the summer dining season, the government has given its blessing to restaurants that want to allow pet dogs in their outdoor spaces, but not everyone's on board. The Food and Drug Administration's updated food code issued late last year, says restaurants can have dogs in outdoor areas, as long as they have approval from a local regulator, Megan Cornelius co owner of San Francisco zasi has jumped on the trend just as the summer's about to kick off. All the dogs are welcome here. We do a Monday night, dog night, specifically on the patio. So all the dogs can kind of commute together. Cornelius adds, it's their night out in the city, and you get $10 off a bottle of wine when you bring your dog, dog owner ilana minkoff is overjoyed by the move. I think that's fantastic. And what that will allow is for people like me who have dogs and love to travel, to go to other states and sit outside and eat. Which means I can now bring my dog when I travel, which is amazing. But even though nearly half of states already allow canine dining outdoors, the issues far from settled, with many diners and restaurants pushing back against the increasing presence of pooches.

Extra spring COVID booster cleared for certain Americans
"An extra spring coronavirus booster has been cleared for certain Americans. The Food and Drug Administration says anyone 65 or older can opt to roll up their sleeves again as long as it's been at least four months since their first dose of the vaccine that targets omicron strains. Doctor Matthew Lawrence is at the university of Maryland school of medicine. We do have vaccines that are available to you protect against these severe consequences. So why not use them? They don't do any good just sitting on a shelf. So let's give them two individuals who are at the highest risk. For eligible high risk groups, a spring second booster is a reasonable choice. Though this approval is geared toward that population of 65 plus and toward immunocompromised, everyone can now get the bivalent booster vaccination. So I would encourage them to do that. The CDC must still sign off on the newest round of boosters. I'm Ed Donahue

No cow needed: Oat and soy can be called milk, FDA proposes
"The Food and Drug Administration is proposing that you don't need a cow to make milk. With things like almond milk and soy milk on the market, dairy producers have been pushing the FDA to crack down on plant based milk, saying it's a masquerade and clouds the real meaning of milk. But guidance from the FDA says these drinks don't pretend to be from cows and consumers aren't confused by the difference. Under the draft rules, the agency recommends labeling a product clearly by the plant source of the food. The rules also call for voluntary extra nutrition labels that note when the drinks have lower levels of nutrients than dairy milk, such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, sales of non dairy milk are dwarfed by sales of traditional milk.
