Thursday, August 5

Good morning, it's Nathan back with you wishing you a happy Thursday!

Body shaming is out. Body positivity is in

But what does that mean for weight-loss businesses?

Well, for starters, many of them aren't really talking about "weight loss" anymore, even though that's still the goal of many of their customers.

Mela Seyoum and I explored this topic in a story published this morning.

On to our ... 

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: American real estate brokers are expecting a surge of home-buying clients from other countries after a temporary decline during the pandemic, largely attributable to travel restrictions. And that means even more competition for local homebuyers, especially because about 2 in 5 international shoppers pay cash for American homes.

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. First Walmart, now Target: Target is offering free college tuition to its employees.

2. How about Spotify for 99 cents a month? The music-streaming service is testing a cheap monthly option that would remain ad-supported.

3. They're "heroes of the pandemic": Mattel is honoring them with a lineup of themed Barbie dolls.

4. The mess continues for Spirit travelers: The airline has already canceled 45% of its flights for today.

5. Health authorities are investigating an E. coli outbreak linked to a cake mix: People are advised not to eat the raw batter.

But raw batter tastes so good!
