Seeing bad advice about dealing with ticks by getting chickens. Sure, they eat ticks. But you know what else they do? Provide a highly reliable human-animal interface that walks right up to you and delivers those same ticks directly onto your skin.
An estimated 100,000 chat GPT queries uses the water content of 1 gallon of milk. Reducing a gallon of milk can save a similar amount of water of high-average daily gpt use for 2-3 years. No one wants to face the real problem.
An estimated 100,000 chat GPT queries uses the water content of 1lb of beef. Skipping beef for a couple days could save a similar amount of water of high-average daily gpt use for 2-3 years.
How can we get people to eat more healthy, minimally processed, plant-foods; feed people w/o ultra processing; increase farmer revenue; make plant foods more delicious— at the same time? We propose one viable solution to these in our new review paper out today! www.frontiersin.org/journals/nut...

Appeal to naturalness fallacies aren’t about evidence or health. They are tools of colonialism and post-colonialism that leverage feelings of disconnection and serve to try and justify commodification of indigenous and heritage practices. 1/n
Hausfather's recent blog said methane's influence was only for 10 years, that of CO2 10,000 years. That's a huge exaggeration. A pulse of methane has real climate impacts for 40+ years, and those from CO2 are declining by 20% after 100 years. Figure below is based on IPCC 2013.
As a vegan chef I am going to definitively tell you that no matter how hard you wish upon a star, chia seeds will NEVER be a good caviar. Never. 💫
Honored to teach students how to make healthy meals with cultivated salmon (Wildtype) and introduce future chefs and nutritionists to the future of food
I reject the concept of taste parity for alt proteins as an illusion. Aim to satisfy not mimic. No 2 steaks taste exact. Meat ranges & sensory exp cant control for range. When liking is =, unblinded choice favors familiar vs new. The star alt-milk in coffee- isnt bc taste parity it’s function…

"Improving the American food system further will require engaging, improving, and fairly distributing modern agriculture’s productivity, not tossing it on the compost heap." @gnrosenberg.bsky.social and I on the concept of democratic hedonism in food system reform. newrepublic.com/article/2067...

Telling people to eat more home-cooked meals and start gardening isn’t a realistic prescription for widespread change.

"The policy tools exist to minimize the harms and maximize the benefits of a system that provides food, much of it healthy, in abundance. But first we need to stop demonizing industrial food, and instead think about how to make it better." Gabe & I for @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/o...

"To the extent the guidelines ... represent an agenda, it is not simply to facilitate a particular outcome favored by meat corporations but also to invert good governance liberalism." @gnrosenberg.bsky.social & I on the new food pyramid for @newrepublic.com. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

The US Department of Education will reclassify and no longer consider the following professional degrees: Education (incl teaching) Nursing Social work Physician assistant Occupational therapy Physical therapy Audiology Speech pathology Engineering Counseling & therapy
Today the RFI for US UPF policy is due. I want to say, by way of example, that if you can’t explain how some brown sugar forms into solid bricks & others remain granular for years—w/ identical ingredient lists—you might not be qualified to shape policy about food processing.
You may have read that your protein supplements are giving you lead poisoning. That's not the case. If you want to have protein shakes, that's fine. But whether you need to and whether they're safely regulated is a different story. My latest for @vox.com. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
No, your protein powder isn’t poisoning you
New testing finds two-thirds of popular protein powders exceed lead limits — especially plant-based brands. What you need to know before your next scoop — and why the reality is different.

The new EAT-Lancet report is out and I wrote about it -- and also what I saw at Climate Week NYC: An environmental movement still cozying up to Big Meat, and still unafraid to confront scientific consensus on food, agriculture, and livestock.
