This story includes Dylan Farrow’s detailed accusations from Episode 2 of HBO’s “Allen v Farrow” HBO’s four-part docuseries “Allen v Farrow” takes a deep, dark and disturbing path tonight with the reveal of never-before-seen home video footage of a 7-year-old Dylan Farrow sharing graphic details about how Woody Allen molested her during a Connecticut summer in 1992. Until now, allegations of interaction between Farrow and her adoptive father have been speculation based on interpretation of his “affection” for her. But in a nearly three-decade-old grainy video, a very young Farrow says what happened. “He touched my privates,” Dylan says to her mother, Mia Farrow, who is holding the camera and questioning her daughter. “And then he was breathing on my leg.” She breaks off to indicate where, before saying, “He squeezed me too hard that I couldn’t breathe.” When Mia asks her to elaborate on where he touched her, Dylan points to the space between her legs, adding that Allen took her into the attic.

Then he started telling me weird things. Then secretly he went into the attic, went behind me and touched my privates.” Mia asks which privates did he touch; Dylan once again points between her legs. “He touched your front parts?” Farrow confirms. “Yeah!” Dylan answers, sounding upset. In yet another video, Mia asks her daughter “what things daddy said in the attic,” which elicits the most disturbing response of all. “When I was in the attic he said, ‘Do not move, I have to do this,'” young Dylan says while chewing on her hair. “But I wiggled my bum to see what he was doing and he said, ‘Do not move, I have to do this! So if you stay still, then um, we can go to Paris.'” Also Read: Why Mia Farrow Is 'Scared' of How Woody Allen Will React to HBO's 'Allen v. Farrow' Docuseries In Episode 2, an emotional Mia recounts how, while she’d been running errands that day, her babysitter had seen Allen engaging in the abuse when she walked in on them by accident. With Dylan’s therapist out of town and Farrow determined to have proof of her daughter’s allegations, she decided to record Dylan herself, taping her over the next two days. While the video itself has been a notable part of the allegations of sexual abuse against Allen as well as his custody battle with Farrow, Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering’s docuseries marks the first time it’s been seen by the public. In 2014, Dylan spoke out against Allen in a NY Times op-ed. “As you can imagine, it’s extremely intense and harrowing to watch. After considerable thought and discussion, we felt it was important to use small portions of the tape, because it serves as evidence of Dylan’s outcry,” Dick told the L.A. Times. Episode 2 of “Allen v. Farrow” airs this Sunday on HBO at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes 3-4 will air the following Sundays at the same time.

You probably already know that fast food isn't one of the healthiest food options, considering it's usually processed, high in calories, and often fried (we're looking at you, french fries and onion rings). Despite knowing its unhealthy aspects, it may feel nearly impossible to turn down your favorite fast-food spot as you're driving by… and that's not entirely your fault.Michael Moss, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, reveals in his book Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions that fast-food can be just as addictive as heroin. If you're wondering how this is possible, Moss breaks it down: While heroin relies on morphine to draw out the addictive nature of the drug, fast-food turns to simpler elements like fat, salt, and sugar, all of which have the same impact on us once we take a bite. (Related: 17 Seriously Scary Side Effects of Eating Fast Food)The reason for this is that these components—fat, sugar, and salt— trigger that same dopamine release in our brains that morphine does. As the New York Post reports, Moss notes in his book that, "[Dopamine] is a tool for our survival. We need to eat in order to live, and dopamine is there to motivate us to eat." So, this is what might make it so difficult for your brain to turn away the fast food you know and love.Moss also highlights that food manufacturers may be using this addictive property in fast food to their advantage. They use a nearly undetectable, highly processed starch derivative called Maltodextrin, which has the same addictive properties of sugar (it just doesn't taste sweet). It's foods with these types of processed starches that can shoot your glucose levels up, then almost immediately go back down, which "prods the brain into making more dopamine that calls upon us to look for more food," writes Moss.And so begins the endless cycle of searching for food that has the same impact on the body. This is why you may begin to crave those same unhealthy fast-food meals over and over—you may truly be addicted to the effect the food has on you.For more, beware of this ugly sign you're eating too much fast food, according to science.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the President, has already received his coronavirus vaccine—the Moderna vaccine. But with the “good news”—his words—of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine winning emergency approval this weekend, you now have three vaccines you might get: One from Moderna, one from Pfizer and one from J&J. The difference? The first two have an efficacy rate well over 90%, while J&J ranks lower at 72%. Dr. Fauci says comparing them like that isn’t helpful. Read on to see which vaccine he would take if he could—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Dr. Fauci Said He’d Take Whichever Vaccine Was Offered to Him, Including the J&J One On Sunday’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos, the host asked Fauci if we should worry about the J + J performance. “We've got to get away from that chain of thought for the following reason,” said Fauci. “The only way you really know the difference between vaccines is by comparing them head to head. We have three highly efficacious vaccines that are safe and efficacious. That's the bottom line and the J&J, if you look at them, particularly in things that we really care about, they're important. It's got greater than 85% efficacy after a severe disease and critical disease. And there were no deaths or hospitalizations in any of the countries that were tested. And remember they tested in the United States and South Africa and in South America. This is a good vaccine,” he continued. “I think we need to pull away from this comparing and parsing numbers until you compare them head to head, just be really grateful that we have three really efficacious vaccines.” 2 Dr. Fauci Reiterated He Would Have “No Hesitancy Whatsoever” Taking the J&J Vaccine On Meet the Press, Fauci continued to put things in context. “First of all, you would now have three highly efficacious vaccines, for sure. There's no doubt about that. And particularly the recent results from J&J—if you look at the efficacy against severe disease, greater than 85%, and there'd been no hospitalizations or deaths in multiple countries, even in countries that have the variants. So be careful when you try to parse this percent versus that. All three of them are really quite good and people should take the one that's most available to them. If you go to a place and you have J&J and that's the one that's available now, I would take it. I personally do the same thing. I think people need to get vaccinated as quickly and as expeditiously as possible. And if I would go to a place where they had J&J I would have no hesitancy whatsoever to take it.” 3 Dr. Fauci Said the J&J Was Not an “Inferior Vaccine” for Older Americans Fauci continued his line on Face the Nation. “Is Johnson and Johnson an inferior vaccine, particularly for older Americans?” asked host Margaret Brennan. “No, you know, you can't say that,” answered Dr. Fauci. “We now have clearly three highly efficacious vaccines. They're highly efficacious in many ways, including importantly, preventing severe or critical disease. If you look at all three of them, they're really very good. The J&J data that just came out and that was just examined by the FDA. When you have advanced critical disease, there were no hospitalizations and no deaths. That's good news Margaret. So I think rather than parsing out subgroups here, let's just look at the totality of this. We have a really good vaccine.” 4 Dr. Fauci Said Again He Would Have Taken the J&J If It Was Offered Fauci had a busy Sunday morning. On CNN’s State of the Union, Fauci was asked again about the J&J efficacy and worries about it being too low. “You can understand that type of a concern,” Fauci told host Dana Bash, “but in order to really compare vaccines, you have to compare them head to head. And these were not compared head to head. The message that needs to be prevail…is that these are three highly efficacious vaccines. I can tell you, I have been fully vaccinated with one that was available. It was the Moderna. If I were not vaccinated now, and I had a choice of getting a J&J vaccine now or waiting for another vaccine, I would take whatever vaccine would be available to me as quickly as possible for the simple reason of what I said a moment ago. We want to get as many people vaccinated as quickly and as expeditiously as possible. So this is good news because we have another very good vaccine in the mix.”RELATED: Dr. Fauci Just Said When We'd Get Back to Normal 5 Dr. Fauci Said: Here’s the “Bottom Line” About Which Vaccine to Get “So bottom line,” he said, “if you're offered a vaccine, whichever one you're offered, you should take it.” So get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

What to do about Saudi Arabia and this nasty Jamal Khashoggi problem? On Friday, the White House released a report by U.S. intelligence that confirmed what journalists, documentarians and members of Congress already understood: that Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohamed Bin Salman approved the savage operation to murder and dismember dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident at the time of his death at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018. It’s a sticky situation. Now that it’s official that the 35-year-old de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia was responsible for this heinous act, the United States needs to decide how to act. And so do the rest of us. So much damage over the four years of the Trump presidency needs to be undone. And one of those critical areas is in reestablishing our values abroad after our government allowed dictators to slide and autocrats to feel comforted while the U.S. looked the other way on human rights abuses. Bin Salman is a terrifying human being, at once charming and fully given over to evil. (“Evil” is not a word I use often since I prefer to offer facts rather than judgments. But I don’t know what else to call the moral abyss that led to what happened to Khashoggi, a critic of the kingdom whom MBS found intolerable.) Also Read: 'The Dissident' Director Bryan Fogel Calls Out Hollywood's 'Fear, Cowardice' Over Jamal Khashoggi Doc (Video) Hollywood fell at MBS’ feet when he came to town in 2018, dangling billions of dollars in investment in entertainment and media, as Saudi Arabia has already done in U.S.-owned technology firms from Tesla to Uber to Magic Leap. The power elite vied for private time with him, wined and dined him at multiple dinners, and reported back that MBS was extremely impressive. Educated. Forward-looking. Articulate. Visionary, even. At the time MBS had already arrested Loujain Al-Hathloul, the woman tortured and held in solitary confinement for driving her own car in defiance of Saudi law. (She was released earlier this month after spending nearly three years in prison — and nearly three years after the country lifted its ban on women driving.) He had already locked up family members and confiscated their businesses. And he had already pursued a vicious war in Yemen that has led to an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. But the murder of Khashoggi crossed some invisible line of acceptable conduct for a sovereign nation. Bryan Fogel’s film “The Dissident” exposed the nauseating recording of the murder itself. And so now that we have officially stated aloud the fact that the government ordered the operation — it is an atrocity that we ignore at our peril. $bp("Brid_14534375", {"id":"21259","width":"640","height":"400","video":"612190"}); Also Read: 'The Dissident' Revives Jamal Khashoggi's Brutal Murder: 'Has the Sacrificial Victim Arrived?' Biden promised an announcement on Monday “as to what we are going to be doing with Saudi Arabia generally.” But White House insiders have indicated there are no plans for sanctions against MBS or the regime beyond some punitive measures taken on Friday against a handful of Saudis believed to be involved in the killing. That is deeply disturbing. Granted, Saudi Arabia is an important ally in the complex foreign policy puzzle that is the Middle East, where I started my journalism career. And MBS is a young ruler who likely has many decades in power ahead of him — not unlike Kim Jong-un in North Korea. And yes, Saudi Arabia is a key counterbalance to the threat of Iran. But we cannot continue to behave as if Saudi Arabia holds the leverage here. We have the leverage. We no longer rely on Saudi oil so there is no longer a threat to America’s energy supply. Sometimes I wonder if our foreign policy establishment got that memo. Why do we cower from condemning a country that depends on allies like the U.S. for its credibility in the region? What are we afraid of? Saudi Arabia needs the U.S. to maintain its regional dominance and stability, not the other way around. Diplomacy is difficult and the Middle East is confounding. But the Biden administration needs to act in either adopting sanctions, issuing a formal condemnation or some other measure. This will also guide the response of America’s business leaders — including those in media and technology — in whether and how to do business with the Saudi kingdom. Telling the truth is difficult, because it brings with it a responsibility to act upon that knowledge. We have stated the truth. Now we need to act. The post-Trump era does not put our democracy out of danger, it merely pulled us back from the brink of disaster. How we behave toward MBS and Saudi Arabia will be a bellwether for restoring our credibility as a bulwark against tyranny. Read original story What Do We Do About Saudi Arabia and Jamal Khashoggi?

McDonald’s is expected to launch its first plant-based burger, the McPlant, later this year, and it sounds like this is only the first of many new plant-based options for the chain. Beyond Meat, which is partnering with McDonald’s on the McPlant patty, has announced a three-year global deal with the fast-food giant. According to VegNews, the partnership will result in several innovative protein alternatives for the McDonald’s menu.“We’re excited to work with Beyond Meat to drive innovation in this space, and entering into this strategic agreement is an important step on our journey to bring delicious, high quality, plant-based menu items to our customers,” said Francesca DeBiase, McDonald’s Executive Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer. (Related: McDonald’s Is Making These 8 Major Upgrades.)In particular, McDonald’s will explore alternatives to chicken, pork, and eggs, and is hoping to give customers more choices in the plant-based arena.When first introducing the McPlant last year, McDonald’s was reluctant to reveal who is helping them make the patties for the new burger, saying they are an original creation "by McDonald's and for McDonald's." However, a representative for Beyond Meat revealed soon after they co-created the patty with the chain.At the time, Beyond’s CEO Ethan Brown hinted at a partnership between the two powerhouses that would extend well beyond the McPlant."I believe our relationship with McDonald's is very strong," he told Mad Money's Jim Cramer. "We're involved with McDonald's on a number of different fronts. We're doing things now to prepare for things in the future that involve McDonald's."And McDonald's isn’t the only brand onboarding Beyond Meat for their new plant-based ventures. Yum Brands, which owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC, has penned a similar distribution agreement with Beyond, that will help them create plant protein-based pizza toppings, chicken alternatives, and possibly taco fillings, according to CNN.For more on the latest fast-food trends, check out 6 Most Anticipated Fast-Food Menu Items Launching This Year, and don't forget to sign up for our newsletter to get the latest restaurant news delivered straight to your inbox.

Dylan Farrow is opening up about the extraordinarily personal and painful video of her as a 7-year-old child disclosing the sexual abuse at the hands of her adoptive father, Woody Allen to her mother, Mia Farrow, that will be seen in tonight’s episode of the docuseries “Allen v. Farrow.” She is hoping that people who watch it will do so “with empathy, compassion and an open mind and heart.” In a lengthy statement (which you can read in full at the bottom), Farrow said that she has “been losing sleep” and is “overcome with anxiety” about showing the world the shocking video of her as a young girl that her mother shared with her when she became an adult. “It shows me as I was then, a young, vulnerable child. ‘Little Dylan,’ whom I’ve tried ever since to protect,” Farrow said. “Deciding to allow this tape to be viewed now publicly in this way has not been easy. I myself had resisted ever watching it until now. It had been long stored away in a closet. Scared. Buried.” Also Read: Dylan Farrow Speaks Out After 'Allen v Farrow' Debut, Tells 'Fellow Survivors' They 'Are Not Alone' Farrow said that she almost didn’t offer the filmmakers the video for their use because the idea of being “this vulnerable in public” absolutely terrified her. “My fear in letting this tape come to light is that I am putting Little Dylan in the court of public opinion,” she said. “While I have been able to take the stones thrown at me as an adult, to think of that happening to this little girl is stomach-churning.” She, however, decided that it should be used in the docuseries in hopes that it will help others suffering in silence “feel heard, understood and less alone.” Also Read: 'Allen v Farrow': The 5 Most Disturbing Revelations From HBO's Docuseries “I hope this tape helps us all find ways to allow painful secrets to come safely out of their closets so we all can heal and move forward in strength and peace. No longer ashamed, buried, scared, sad, and silent.” You can read her statement in full below: I’m writing this, because to be totally honest I have been losing sleep and overcome with anxiety. Tonight’s episode of the Allen v. Farrow docuseries features a video of me as a seven-year-old child disclosing my abuse to my mother. My mother gave me this video when I became an adult to do whatever I wanted with it. It shows me as I was then, a young, vulnerable child. “Little Dylan,” whom I’ve tried ever since to protect. Deciding to allow this tape to be viewed now publicly in this way has not been easy. I myself had resisted ever watching it until now. It had been long stored away in a closet. Scared. Buried. I almost didn’t offer it to the filmmakers, because being this vulnerable in public is absolutely terrifying for me. My fear in letting this tape come to light is that I am putting Little Dylan in the court of public opinion. While I have been able to take the stones thrown at me as an adult, to think of that happening to this little girl is stomach-churning. But I decided to let them share it in hopes that Little Dylan’s voice might now help others suffering in silence feel heard, understood and less alone. And that my testimony might also help parents, relatives, friends, loved ones and the world in general understand first-hand how an abused child might speak and interpret these horrific events. There’s a third reason as well. Personally, I had, for decades, pushed “Little Dylan” away as a coping mechanism. So part of my goal in allowing her to now speak is also to try and find some healing for me and my childhood self. It’s an attempt to make them whole again, and find some peace and closure. Ever since news of her abuse was inadvertently made public, I, my siblings, and my mother have all been subjected to an endless barrage of vitriolic slander and baseless rebuke; derision so painful that I separated myself from her in self-defense. I hid her away in a closet with the tape too – hidden, afraid, sad and hurt. If you watch this video, I very much hope you will do so with empathy, compassion and an open mind and heart and not use this as an opportunity to attack, turn away, criticize, mock; or to further shun “Little Dylan” and in doing so shame and silence the millions of abused children who are suffering in the world today. This is the most vulnerable part of who I am. I hope this tape helps us all find ways to allow painful secrets to come safely out of their closets so we all can heal and move forward in strength and peace. No longer ashamed, buried, scared, sad, and silent. To all other survivors, please know that your truth is valid and there are those who will listen. RAINN is always available at 800-656-4673.

Forty people have reported illnesses after eating at an Arby's in Springfield, Ill. since Feb. 15, the Sangamon County Department of Public Health confirmed to two local news stations, NewsChannel 20 and WAND 17.Officials first visited the Arby's restaurant on Feb. 23 after calls were made to the health department. They then returned on Feb. 24 as the store was closed for deep cleaning. They also visited again the next day, still finding issues, but are still unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the food poisonings. (Related: McDonald’s Is Making These 8 Major Upgrades.)The health and safety violations found on the first visit include: improper temperatures, as some corned beef, turkey, and ham were stored at temperatures around 45-48 degrees Farhenheit when they should be kept at 45 or below; improper date marking was found for brisket, gyro meat, and corned beef that should have been discarded the day before; cleanliness issues, as the top of the oven, which is used to store utensils, was visibly soiled with dust and debris; and management errors.Even after the deep cleaning on Feb. 24, the department still found temperature issues during a visit the next day as "sauces were observed with internal temperatures of 48-50 degrees in the top of the prep cooler," health officials say. At this time, the investigation is still ongoing.In other food safety news, the CDC just linked specific Hispanic-style soft, and fresh cheeses to a multi-state Listeria outbreak that sent seven people to the hospital.
