(CNN) — The White House condemned attendees at Saturday’s Pride event on the South Lawn who engaged in what President Joe Biden’s press secretary described as “unacceptable” behavior.“The behavior was simply unacceptable.

It’s disrespectful,” Jean-Pierre said, going on to say the video “really does not reflect the event that we hosted to celebrate the LGBTQ+ families.”“Individuals in the video certainly will not be invited to future events,” she said.One of the individuals in the video – Rose Montoya, an activist, model and actor who uses the p...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday it hopes to weed out false or misleading animal-welfare claims on meat and poultry packaging with new guidance and testing.The claims __ such as “pasture-raised,” “humanely raised,” and “raised without antibiotics” __ are increasingly popular with consumers and allow producers to charge a premium.

Other claims like “free range” are clearly defined by the USDA, but some producers are skirting requirements.The USDA must approve all animal welfare claims on meat and poultry labels before product...
