From today's #DailyNewsDigest📰: "By insisting on a vegan menu, the Earthshot prize effectively equated veganism with sustainability. But while the two concepts can overlap, they are not the same. Some vegan foods, such as avocados, have large carbon footprints."

Earthshot prize’s request for a vegan menu for Prince William leaves a bitter taste in the Amazon
Western ideas of sustainability imposed on Indigenous cultures and food risk stifling what is unique and sustainable.

My co-authors and I wrote this piece. We have received comments about how veganism is not a Western concept... something that we never argue.
I hope readers can see that this is about imposing Western ideas of sustainability on Indigenous Peoples (like the idea that veganism is always sustainable).

Imposing Western notions that equate veganism with sustainability can undermine Indigenous Peoples' kincentric relationships with the natural world.

My second article in @uk.theconversation.com with Flavia Cardoso and @carolzanette.bsky.social is out now!

As a Peruvian who has done her doctoral dissertation on celebrity chefs spearheading the New Peruvian cuisine, this #gastronationalism hides more than it reveals about our internal inequalities.

Just like Paddington, I was born in Peru and moved to the UK. So when Paddington in Peru 🐻🇵🇪🇬🇧 hit the screens, I couldn’t resist writing a review.

My review "Paddington in Peru: A hard stare at cultural appropriation" is out! :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Me to the reviewer: thank you for pointing this out. We apologize for not making it clear in the previous version. We have now restructured the whole argument based on what you said.

Really cool piece by my friend Jonatan Södergren (University of Bristol). I had no idea #David #Lynch had directed commercials... I guess I'm still stuck in #TwinPeaks living under a rock and eating cherry pie.

Five commercials that show how David Lynch elevated advertising to an art form
The visionary director was better known for film and television – but his adverts show how skilled he was at shorter formats too.
