In recent years, editors of medical, science, and bioethics journals have proclaimed almost every major societal problem to be a “health emergency” or crisis.

The best is Harry Sidebottom’s Those Who Are About to Die: A Day in the Life of a Roman Gladiator (Knopf, 2026). In it we can learn that the lean gladiators of Hollywood spectaculars were rare: A diet heavy on Read More ›
