After weeks of reversals for Ukrainian forces, the Obama administration is "taking a fresh look" at sending them lethal aid, The New York Times reports. Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO's military commander, is said to support the move, though President Obama has not made any decisions.

A report to be released Monday by eight former senior U.S. officials recommends sending $3 billion in defensive arms and equipment to Ukraine.

Some packaged meals and snacks for toddlers contain concerning amounts of additional salt and sugar that could contribute to an early appetite for unhealthy foods that lead to obesity, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published Monday. The study probed labels on more than 1,000 foods marketed for young children, and found that about seven in 10 meals examined contained extra salt while most cereal bars, breakfast pastries, and other snacks for toddlers contained additional sugar. The CDC urges parents to carefully read food labels and look for healthier alternatives, pointing out that one in four U.S. kids ages 2 to 5 are overweight.
