Where random good news can go. To maybe help people understand that things aren't all bad in the world.
Here. I'll start with two stories i found to be pretty good news to hear.
KFC to sell Beyond Meat's plant-based 'fried chicken' in the southern U.S.
[Fast-food chains including McDonald’s, Burger King, and Dunkin Brands have raced to add imitation meat products to their menus as Americans cut down on animal protein consumption. While those companies have rolled out imitation pork or beef patties, Yum Brands Inc’s KFC is the first to launch plant-based “chicken.”]
That's pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to screw it up but it's a start.
Lungs 'magically' heal damage from smoking
[Your lungs have an almost "magical" ability to repair the cancerous mutations caused by smoking - but only if you stop, say scientists.
The mutations that lead to lung cancer had been considered to be permanent, and to persist even after quitting.
But the surprise findings, published in Nature, show the few cells that escape damage can repair the lungs.
The effect has been seen even in patients who had smoked a pack a day for 40 years before giving up.]
That is also pretty awesome news. More work needs to be done of course to see how much lungs regenerate but the fact that they do at all is great news.
