1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

Among the abrupt termination of #CDC programs was the shuttering of the agency's viral #hepatitis lab. Imagine cops being asked to solve crimes without the capacity to test for fingerprints or swab for DNA. That's what this does to hepatitis surveillance in the US. www.statnews.com/2025/04/14/c...

The myth of the United States is over. The country is imploding. Nonetheless, as a rogue state they are a serious threat to the rest of the world. It is time for new defence alliances, new trade partnerships, and new international institutions without them.
