Kadyrov: in the Putin district in Grozny, more than 50% of apartments have been sold
In the new microdistrict of the city of Grozny, named after Russian President Vladimir Putin, more than 50 percent of apartments have already been sold. Moreover, most of the lots were purchased under Islamic installment plans. Footage from the construction site in his Telegram-the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, shares on the channel.
“Friends, I started the work week by checking the progress of construction work in the central part of the city, where the outlines of a new microdistrict are gradually emerging, which will be named in honor of Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Kadyrov writes. He assures that the construction of the new district is proceeding at an active pace, and there are no difficulties with materials or labor.
In the Putin area it is planned to build 150 apartment buildings, supplementing them with social infrastructure facilities. “In a word, the new complex is not just a collection of buildings, but an integral space for comfortable living and recreation for future residents,” Kadyrov said in a statement. In addition, the transport interchange of the central arteries of the region will be improved – the total length of roads here will be about 10 kilometers.
The initiative to name a new microdistrict in Grozny after the Russian president became known in February. According to Kadyrov, the decision was dictated by “deep gratitude on the part of the Chechen people.”

‘Sugary food is a drug for me’: A growing number of children are addicted to ultraprocessed foods

Chicago native Jeffrey Odwazny says he has been addicted to ultraprocessed food since he was a child.
“I was driven to eat and eat and eat, and while I would overeat healthy food, what really got me were the candies, the cakes, the pies, the ice cream,” said the 54-year-old former warehouse supervisor

“I really gravitated towards the sugary ultraprocessed foods — it was like a physical drive, I had to have it,” he said. “My parents would find hefty bags full of candy wrappers hidden in my closet. I would steal things from stores as a kid and later as an adult.”
Some 12% of the nearly 73 million children and adolescents in the United States today struggle with a similar food addiction, according to research. To be diagnosed, children must meet Yale Food Addiction Scale criteria as stringent as any for alcohol use disorder or other addictions.
“Kids are losing control and eating to the point where they feel physically ill,” said Ashley Gearhardt, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor who conducted the research and developed the Yale addiction scale.
“They have intense cravings and may be sneaking, stealing or hiding ultraprocessed foods,” Gearhardt said. “They may stop going out with friends or doing other activities they used to enjoy in order to stay at home and eat, or they feel too sluggish from overeating to participate in other activities.”
Her research also shows about 14% of adults are clinically addicted to food, predominantly ultraprocessed foods with higher levels of sugar, salt, fat and additives.
For comparison, 10.5% of Americans age 12 or older were diagnosed with alcohol use disorder in 2022, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
While many people addicted to food will say that their symptoms began to worsen significantly in adolescence, some recall a childhood focused on ultraprocessed food.
“By age 2 or 3, children are likely eating more ultraprocessed foods in any given day than a fruit or vegetable, especially if they’re poor and don’t have enough money in their family to have enough quality food to eat,” Gearhardt said. “Ultraprocessed foods are cheap and literally everywhere, so this is also a social justice issue.”
An addiction to ultraprocessed foods can highjack a young brain’s reward circuitry, putting the primitive “reptilian brain,” or amygdala, in charge — thus bypassing the prefrontal cortex where rational decision-making occurs, said Los Angeles registered dietitian nutritionist David Wiss, who specializes in treating food addiction.
