✍🏻 I spent much of last week in a freezing cold conference centre, listening & talking to fellow investigative journalists. It was inspiring & exhilarating. Amusing too, whenever I keep hearing a common refrain.

We're eating more & more UPFs which are linked to chronic health conditions including obesity, type 2 diabetes, & cardiovascular disease, often displacing whole, traditional foods that could nourish us, according to a scientific study in The Lancet this week.

Last week's Thin Ink was farm size & land distribution.
Afterwards, I got an email from @alanmatthews.bsky.social, widely perceived as the foremost authority on EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which the NYT called one of the world’s largest subsidy schemes.

I’ve been wanting to do an issue on food systems in Palestine for a while. I also wanted to do it with somebody who's very much deep in the food culture, storytelling, & preservation issues. This week, I finally managed to do it with Vivien Sansour.

Regular readers of Thin Ink know I’m a big fan of @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social's work. So of course when her latest book, Titans of Industrial Agriculture, came out earlier this year, I had to read it.
It's a bit of a magnum opus: 13 chapters nearly 500 pages.

For 3 years, we've been publishing anonymous diaries by Myanmar storytellers on life under/ away from military dictatorship. We'll post these regularly on Bluesky now that we've migrated here.
