The biggest new restaurant trend is small. Special menus with petite, less expensive portions are popping up at large chains like Olive Garden and The Cheesecake Factory as well as trendy urban eateries and rural retreats. Restaurants hope that offering smaller servings beyond the children’s menu will meet many different diners’ needs, whether it's saving money, losing weight or environmental concerns. Some restaurants are adding menus to court users of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Zepbound and Wegovy. Smaller portions aren’t a new concept. Twenty years ago, small-plate tapas restaurants were all the rage, for instance. The president of a culinary consulting firm says the scaled-down dishes appearing now seem part of a longer-term shift.

A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure. The Potomac spill was a huge, but rare event that led to an emergency declaration and federal help. But across the country, sewer overflows happen tens of thousands of times each year. Baltimore shows how bad persistent problems can be. People regularly experience sewage backups into their homes, ruining property and bringing in harmful bacteria.

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie, remains missing after nearly 40 days in Arizona. In neighboring New Mexico, Lynette Pino says she has something in common: Her son remains missing nearly 18 years after leaving home to visit his father. Pino says she prays for the Guthrie family to get some answers. Experts say what Pino and the Guthries are experiencing is “ambiguous loss.” A loved one has disappeared, making it maddeningly mysterious and possibly permanent. Tai Mendenhall, a family therapist at the University of Minnesota, says faith and community can help.

Last year, President Donald Trump promoted unproven ties between Tylenol and autism and touted an old generic drug as a treatment for the developmental condition. New research found that for nearly three months after that, Tylenol orders for pregnant women showing up in emergency rooms dropped and prescriptions of the generic drug for children rose. Doctors published a research letter with their findings in The Lancet on Thursday. Orders for Tylenol were 10% lower than predicted for pregnant emergency department patients aged 15-44. And outpatient prescriptions of the generic drug leucovorin for children ages 5–17 were 71% higher than projected.

A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital. The man's brother says Wednesday that 56-year-old Emmanuel Damas told officers he had a toothache in mid-February but was not sent to a dentist.
