The next time you're getting ready to toss a bundle, think again.
The first kitchen chore I was ever tasked with was picking cilantro leaves. It happened one Sunday morning, as my father was making, the flaky Indian flatbread that's stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes. I was loitering impatiently at the edge of the kitchen, and he asked me to go through a bunch of cilantro for the filling.
Of course, that isn't true—cilantro's stems are perfectly easy to eat . And yet, for decades, I continued to painstakingly go over bunches of cilantro in my home kitchen, plucking each leaf free; after washing and spinning dry all the leaves, I'd throw the pile of stems into the trash.

To Stem Suicide and Sexual Assault, the Air Force Dons HeadsetsMCGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. — The three airmen sat quietly adjusting their headsets, murmuring to their colleague, who was in distinct trouble. “Everyone goes through rough patches sometimes,” each said, a few moments apart, to the same despondent and mildly intoxicated man, whose wife recently left him and who seemed immersed in suicidal thoughts. The airman on the other end of the headsets was virtual, but the conversation was all encompassing, a 30-minute, occasionally harrowing journey among three actual airmen and a virtual actor, whom they each tried to coax into getting help. The three were trying out a new virtual reality program this month that the Air Force is using to target two problems that continue to vex military leaders: suicide and sexual assault within the ranks. Years of prevention training — often in the form of somnolence-inducing PowerPoint presentations — have done little to stem the rates of either problem. Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times Whether the virtual reality model can ultimately do better remains an open question. But military officials are encouraged by the early self-reported responses to the training. More than 1,000 Air Force personnel have participated in the training so far; 97% of those who tried it would recommend it, and trainees reported an increase in the likelihood to intervene with a person in crisis, Air Force officials said. And among those ages 18 to 25 — a generation more used to interactive virtual experiences that makes up the bulk of new recruits — the impact increased sevenfold. Officials intend to train at least 10,000 airmen with the program this year. The training is meant to take on problems that, if anything, have worsened in the military in recent years. Between 2014 and 2019, the suicide rate for all active-duty troops increased from 20.4 to 25.9 suicides per 100,000 according to Pentagon data; in the last three months of 2020, suicides among National Guard troops nearly tripled
