Assoc prof @UNC. I study policy for healthy, sustainable food systems. Skeets parenting, politics, dumb jokes.
You better hope for your life she never hears "That's just my baby dog." WORST SONG EVER.

This is an opportunity! You can have Hunger Games style type tournament to see who makes the bday party cut.

Some of MAHA's concerns -- like avoiding ultra-processed foods -- are backed up by mainstream science. Others, like a focus on food dyes, are less so.

It'd be comical if it weren't so horrifying! Not a single food industry rep showed up to their press conference. This whole effort is nothing more than a dog and pony show to make themselves look like heroes while actually doing nothing or worse than nothing.

I think many of us were hopeful given the underfunding and lack of interest in nutrition that MAHA would galvanize bipartisan policy action on diet and health- but it always hinged on whether they would use science. Obviously we were skeptical but at least initially wanted to wait and see.

Ooh looking forward to reading. Confession: we were totally pushed my 7y in a stroller for trick or treating because she was too whiny about walking. Worth it!

yep. I like to pretend the layers of texture on every bathroom surface is a new avant garde interior design technique.

Me, sending pics of an irregularly shaped mole and asking, do you guys think this looks weird?

And so do we think it’s any wonder they’re doing everything they can to kill higher ed?
