BE WELL
Food-Campsite Cooking: You hike in the woods, breathe fresh air, feel the tranquility of being in nature. Then, back at the campsite, you chip away at those health benefits by eating packaged hot dogs slapped into a white-bread bun with a slice of plasticky processed cheese. There are healthier ways. Here’s how to rethink campsite cooking. With 2 recipes. UPCOMING Tuesday, photos.
Protein Shortages: Global consumers want more protein in every bite, but the dairy industry is struggling to give it to them. Food companies have added whey protein concentrate, a powdered byproduct of cheese-making, to everything from yogurt, Pop Tarts and potato chips to Starbucks lattes. That’s causing shortages and pushing prices to new records. SENT Sunday, photos.
HOLIDAYS
Food-Father’s Day-Chefs Dreams: On Father’s Day, some dads want to eat out, some want to eat in. Some want a meat and potatoes meal, some dream of sushi omakase. And what do the dads who cook and feed people for a living want to eat? Three chefs describe their dream Father’s Day meal. UPCOMING Wednesday, photos.
US-Marking Juneteenth: Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S., is being marked in various ways around the country. In Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center -- a tribute to the nation’s first Black president -- is opening to the public. And celebrations are planned in Galveston, Texas, where, in 1865, Union soldiers told enslaved African Americans that the Civil War had ended and they were free. UPCOMING Friday, photos, video.

FOOD
WCup-Yerba Mate: Alongside their flags, jerseys, songs and chants, fans coming the World Cup matches in North America will bring a taste of home in the form of yerba mate, a beverage that is ubiquitous in some South American countries and has gone global in other cultures. Depending on their nationality, fans might be drinking the caffeinated drink hot or iced, out of gourds or maybe a cow horn. But mate is definitely a social drink. UPCOMING Tuesday, photos, video.
Voracious-Alexandria Steak Sandwiches: Chef Michael Mina shares a steak sandwich recipe from a well-known eatery in Alexandria, Egypt, in his new cookbook, ‘My Egypt: Cooking From my Roots.’ SENT Monday, photos.
ACTIVITIES

The event will highlight the role of yoga in promoting physical health, mental well-being and healthy aging, officials said. UPCOMING Saturday, photos, video.
High-Tech Fishing: The use of advanced sonar to catch fish has some anglers divided about the point of heading out onto the lake. Forward-facing sonar allows users to see underwater in real time, and those who embrace the technology say it helps them understand fish better and saves precious time on the water. Others say it detracts from the serene fishing experience and could lead to overfishing. SENT Monday, photos, video.
SCHOOL
US-Education-Privatizing School: Soon, half of all American schoolkids will be able to apply for state money to finance a private education. Next year, the federal government will start incentivizing private school scholarships in states that have never offered them before. These programs are supposed to give children an educational opportunity they wouldn’t otherwise have. In reality, students already in private or home school are most likely to benefit, an analysis by The Associated Press shows. UPCOMING Tuesday, photos, graphics, with interactive.
