Coronavirus: Public Health England calls for action on obesity in Covid-19 fight
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 11:19am CEST by Haroon Siddique
New evidence links obesity to increased risks of coronavirus-related hospitalisation, intensive care and death
The case for action on obesity has “never been stronger”, according to Public Health England , who today publish a review of evidence which shows that being overweight remains one of the biggest risk factors in the battle against Covid-19.
The health agency’s review of evidence relating to weight and the effects of the virus, published on Saturday, found that the risks of hospitalisation, intensive care treatment and death all “seem to increase progressively with increasing BMI (body mass index) above the healthy weight range”.

We all know that face masks are a good thing, but why? Is it because they are a useful tool in slowing the spread of Covid-19? Well, yes. But more than that, it’s because we now have the opportunity to cover our nose and mouth with sweet, sweet, officially licensed merchandise. Until now, whenever we wanted to demonstrate our love of the arts, we have had to rely on clothing or – worse – actual verbal interaction. Now, when you wander into Tesco Express wearing a mask, everyone from the checkout assistant to the guys operating the CCTV will understand that you’re the world’s biggest Twilight fan.

Yotam Ottolenghi's recipes for summery green side dishes
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 10:30am CEST by Yotam Ottolenghi
Summery greens for all ages: beans braised with tomato and garlic, broad beans and herb salad doused in garlicky sauce, and Mediterranean-style chard with tomatoes and olives
Going by my experiences with young ones, I am not entirely sure that the whole Popeye and spinach campaign was strictly necessary. Yes, green vegetables weren’t my children’s first dinner choice when they were very young, but, as they get older, they take much less encouragement at least to try them.
The thing about green food is, it tells you where it’s going to take you, depending on where it lands on the colour spectrum: deeper shades mean it’s likely to be complex and earthy, while lighter ones tend to be more vibrant and fresh. Kids get that, so they often start with peas, broad beans or courgettes, before venturing on to the darker leaves and peppery herbs.

‘We were the luckiest people in the world’: our month on the last lockdown cruise
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 10:00am CEST by Sam Wollaston
On 1 March, photographer Jon Tonks left New Zealand on a Pacific cruise. Twenty eight days later, the boat docked in San Diego, amid a pandemic. What happened in between?
The cruise ship MS Maasdam left New Zealand on the evening of 1 March, steaming out of Auckland’s Waitemata harbour into the Hauraki Gulf, where it headed north. The route was to San Diego via Fiji, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Hawaii. On board the Holland America Line ship were around 1,200 passengers, including Americans, Britons, Canadians, Australians and French holidaymakers. The 542 crew included Dutch, Americans, Germans, Venezuelans and Filipinos. There were also a handful of entertainers and guest lecturers along for the ride, including Jon Tonks, a portrait photographer from Bath, who ended up with a portrait of a cruise that didn’t go to plan.
Covid-19 was certainly a thing at the beginning of March, but it was still considered mainly a China thing. The Maasdam wouldn’t be going anywhere near China. Questionnaires were handed to passengers, about symptoms and where they’d been before, but then they were good to go. Still, Tonks says that friends had joked before he left: “Good luck on your corona cruise.”

My beach holiday is out. I’ll forgo the palm trees, but I draw the line at camping | Hadley Freeman
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 10:00am CEST by Hadley Freeman
Treacherously, my children are excited about this summer’s camping trip, suggesting they may need a maternity test
My first holiday memory was potentially a horror story. I was five and my parents had taken us to Deauville, an oddly fateful holiday that led to me writing a book 35 years later (have I mentioned, I’ve written a book?). But it also could have been the holiday that – doomy movie music, whirl to camera – ended life as I knew it.
It was the last day of our vacation and I, chubby as a tomato, pottered off to look for shells. (People with children, you may want to look away now and rejoin in two paragraphs’ time.) Alas, I failed to inform my parents, because they were being extremely boring, talking to a couple they’d met on the beach and possibly glancing through three-day-old newspapers (note to younger readers: befriending strangers and reading out-of-date newspapers was how people distracted themselves on holiday before the smartphone). Too late, I realised I’d lost sight of them and was now lost in northern France, where my language skills were limited to “pain au chocolat” – useful at the hotel buffet, less helpful in getting me back to my mother. I calmly walked on, in the wrong direction, while my poor parents hysterically scanned the ocean. I spotted some French children, who seemed enormous to me but were probably all of 10. “I can’t find my parents,” I said. Miraculously, one spoke English. “Come with me,” she said.

Dressed to Kill at 40: Brian De Palma's thrilling yet problematic shocker
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 9:10am CEST by Scott Tobias
The director’s stylish Psycho homage remains a thrill yet continues to face accusations of misogyny and transphobia
The distance between Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill and its source of inspiration, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, is 20 years. The distance between Dressed to Kill and now is 40 years. Those numbers seem impossible in certain respects: the sensory overload of De Palma’s thriller – with its explicitness and gore and vibrant colors – feels much more modern, as do the performances, which have a naturalistic quality that hadn’t completely asserted itself in 1960. And yet the film is also disconcertingly retrograde, tied to ideas of violent gender dysphoria that haven’t advanced an inch from the psychiatrist who explains Norman Bates’s behavior at the end of Psycho.

On Sunday, at a virtually empty Rio Tinto Stadium in the shadow of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, Daly will lead Houston Dash out against Chicago Red Stars in the final of the National Women’s Soccer League Challenge Cup.

Why a generation is choosing to be child-free
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 9:00am CEST by Sian Cain
The biggest contribution anyone can make to the climate crisis is not to have children. So why do we still treat parenthood as the default?
When I think that it won’t hurt too much, I imagine the children I will not have. Would they be more like me or my partner? Would they have inherited my thatch of hair, our terrible eyesight? Mostly, a child is so abstract to me, living with high rent, student debt, no property and no room, that the absence barely registers. But sometimes I suddenly want a daughter with the same staggering intensity my father felt when he first cradled my tiny body in his big hands. I want to feel that reassuring weight, a reminder of the persistence of life.
Then I remember the numbers. If my baby were to be born today, they would be 10 years old when a quarter of the world’s insects could be gone, when 100 million children are expected to be suffering extreme food scarcity. My child would be 23 when 99% of coral reefs are set to experience severe bleaching. They would be 30 – my age now – when 200 million climate refugees will be roaming the world, when half of all species on Earth are predicted to be extinct in the wild. They would be 80 in 2100, when parts of Australia, Africa and the United States could be uninhabitable.

'Nobody’s ever seen anything like this': how coronavirus turned the US election upside down

With almost 100 days to go till election day, the virus has changed the issues, the way the fight is fought – and quite possibly the outcome
Mar-a-Lago was the place to see and be seen for guests who paid thousands of dollars for the privilege on New Year’s Eve. Diamonds and furs abounded on the red carpet. When Donald Trump arrived at his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in high spirits and a tuxedo, he declared: “We’re going to have a great year, I predict.”

Antkind by Charlie Kaufman review – a screenwriter's debut
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 8:30am CEST by Peter Bradshaw
Puppetry, metafictional self-awareness and incessant cultural referencing – all Kaufman’s trademarks in a novel that leaves the reader punchdrunk
This debut novel from the award-winning screenwriter of movie masterpieces such as Being John Malkovich and Synecdoche, New York, is funny, exhausting and very, very long. Reading it is like watching (or being) someone trying to sprint to the top of an Escher staircase.
With its unmistakable obsessive-compulsive aesthetic, it could only have sprung from the head of Charlie Kaufman. There is the magnificent joke-telling stamina working against a constant crisis-of-faith undertow, which whispers that all comedy is futile and dishonest. There is the metafictional self-awareness and incessant autoreferencing of real movie celebrities and writers, including of course a despised “Charlie Kaufman”. There is Kaufman’s fascination with the false promise of cinema – of all art – that human existence can be represented; he catches himself in the act of thinking about his own existence, and then in the act of thinking about thinking about his own existence.

Going back to Greece: the Peloponnese after lockdown
Posted: July 25th, 2020, 8:00am CEST by Andrew Bostock
Taking one of the first charter flights to Greece for months, we find locals on the mainland delighted to see visitors, but sticking closely to the new rules
During lockdown, visions of Greece, and particularly my old home in the southern Peloponnese, were by turns sustaining and tormenting me. It was the outside life, the beaches, the mountains, the cicada chirps and the cheese pies that were calling. So I was determined to be on the first flight back with my daughter, who was born in Kalamata and, as luck would have it, could celebrate her 14th birthday in the area.
