Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

Always a pleasure to share stage and backstage with you, @nachristakis.bsky.social!

Agree that that's how it's justified. But we have zero data whether that is true. Just because we perceive it doesn't mean it is. I would prefer more democratic rights.

Interestingly, many Swiss think that's a great idea - in the same way that people who don't have the right to launch popular initiatives / referenda think *that's* a great idea. I guess we all have our own personal Stockholm syndrome when it comes to justifying the political constraints we're given.
