Senators demand USDA move more swiftly to prevent theft of grocery funds from low-income families

In a letter, six Democratic senators urged the U.S. Agriculture Department to act immediately to safeguard the benefits cards that are being used to steal grocery money from low-income families. Over $150 million in stolen benefits have been returned to SNAP participants by the federal government since the previous fiscal year, according to data. In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senators stated that a proposed rule regarding modernizing the cards, which the Agriculture Department has not yet released, would stop the thefts from spreading, but the actual amount taken from needy households is probably much higher than that. The letter, which was received Monday evening and initially published by NBC News, stated that the USDA should move quickly to mandate that state-iss...

Bronze age Britons were cannibalized after an ‘exceptionally violent’ attack

According to recent study, at least 37 persons may have been systematically dismembered and devoured in the wake of an extraordinarily violent attack in early Bronze Age England. The study, which was published Monday in the journal Antiquity, claims that the attack, which occurred approximately 4,000 years ago, exposes a case of cannibalism and the darker side of human prehistory. A 50-foot dig in Charterhouse Warren, southwest England, some 20 miles south of Bristol, yielded more than 3,000 bones. According to researchers, cavers initially found the bones in the 1970s, and they were selected for examination because to the large number of cutmarks. The study's lead scientist, Rick Schulting, told NBC News via email on Monday that they had been subjected to greater violence than would often...
