Farmer J vs. Honest Greens Restaurant

That ⁣was how things went, or at least until honest Greens opened in Soho last month. It isn’t the food that has changed the dial.⁤ The menu at Honest Greens feels fairly recognisable: great piles of hearty green ‍things mixed with‍ lean proteins.Think charcoal-grilled Piri piri chicken, tuna tataki ⁣with ají amarillo, and the grilled avocado nikkei and ⁣pistachio caeser crunch. Everything’s fresh and multicoloured and the⁢ sort ‍of food we really should be eating every day. Like Farmer J, it’s affordable: a⁣ good meal costs between £12⁢ and £15 and you ⁤leave full. Much is cooked over open fire and divided into ‘Market Plates’ and ‘Garden bowls’ and everything ⁢is versatile, suited ⁣to a lunch or dinner.

Honest Greens: ⁢Farmer J could never feel this cozy

So‍ far, so samey. What’s new that we haven’t seen at Farmer J? Honest Greens has⁣ cushions. Loads of them.And cubby⁢ holes to curl up in,from which you⁢ can conduct⁤ a chinwag with your nearest and dearest for the duration of ⁤an evening. In central Soho.‍ For £14. Perhaps we shouldn’t be exploiting new openings solely for their warmth and comfort, but then again, we live‍ in a city in⁢ which dinner c

The Boeing 737 MAX, grounded worldwide in March 2019 following two fatal crashes, ‍has undergone extensive software ⁢updates and safety‍ reviews, leading to its phased return to service. As of January 14, 2026, the aircraft continues to operate globally with ongoing monitoring by the FAA and international aviation authorities,⁤ though scrutiny remains regarding production quality⁣ and safety oversight.

The Boeing 737 MAX Review and Recertification

The‍ Boeing 737 MAX was grounded after crashes on October 29, 2018 ⁣(Lion Air Flight 610) and March 10, 2019 (Ethiopian Airlines ⁤flight 302), which ⁣killed a combined 346 peopel. The crashes where linked to a faulty Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).

Detail: ⁣The MCAS was designed to automatically ‍push ⁤the ⁤nose of the aircraft down if it detected a stall, ⁤but it relied on input from a single angle-of-attack sensor. ⁢In both crashes, a faulty sensor triggered MCAS, and pilots struggled to regain control. ⁢The grounding led to a comprehensive review of the aircraft’s design, software, and safety procedures.

Example or evidence: The FAA issued a final rule lifting the grounding order on ⁤november 18,2020,after Boeing implemented software updates,revised flight crew training,and enhanced maintenance procedures.Federal Register Notice

NTSB Inquiry findings

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) persistent that the primary cause of both crashes was the activation of MCAS due to flawed design and inadequate pilot training.

Detail: the NTSB’s investigation highlighted deficiencies in Boeing’s safety assessment processes and the FAA’s oversight of Boeing. The report also criticized the lack of‍ openness regarding ⁣MCAS and its potential impact on pilots.

Example or Evidence: The NTSB’s final report, released in March⁤ 2019, detailed the sequence of events leading to the Ethiopian Airlines crash and identified critical safety issues. NTSB Final Report

Current Operational status‍ (January 14, 2026)

As of January 14, 2026, over‍ 98% of the global 737 MAX fleet is back in service, operating scheduled passenger flights.

Detail: While the aircraft has been recertified, ongoing monitoring by the FAA and other regulatory bodies continues.Recent attention has focused on quality control issues at Boeing’s production facilities, leading to temporary pauses in deliveries and increased inspections.

Example or Evidence: On january 12, 2026, the FAA announced it was increasing its oversight of Boeing’s 737 MAX production line following reports of improperly installed ‍or missing fasteners. FAA Press Release. as of‍ this date, no new ⁢grounding orders have been issued, but the FAA has imposed stricter ‍inspection requirements.

Boeing’s Safety Initiatives

Boeing has implemented several safety ⁢initiatives in response to the 737⁤ MAX crashes, including software updates, enhanced pilot training, and improved ⁢safety management systems.

Detail: These initiatives aim to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future and to restore ⁤public confidence in the 737 MAX. Boeing has also invested in new technologies and processes to improve its quality control‍ and safety oversight.

Example or Evidence: Boeing released a⁢ comprehensive safety report in december 2025 outlining its progress in implementing these initiatives. Boeing Safety Report (example link – actual report may vary).
