The majority of the world’s standard diets are basically some variety of vegan at their core.
also imagine a million of these posts, forever

The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P

your daily reminder:

☕️ coffee is great

☕️ caffeine-free diets for hospitalized patients are silly & cause misery due to caffeine withdrawal #EMIMCC
From @jama.com: Patients with #AFib who continued their usual caffeinated coffee intake after cardioversion experienced less recurrence of AF or atrial flutter compared to those who abstained from coffee and caffeine.

Most people assume a vegan world would require more land to grow more plants 🌱, but, counterintuitively, the opposite is actually true

When big food doesn’t want to talk about cutting emissions — by shifting diets, ending corn ethanol, reducing food waste, protecting forests, or managing fertilizers — they try to distract you.

They say methane “doesn’t count”.
They try to sell “regenerative grazing”.

They try to greenwash.

Assistive devices, caregiver expenses, medications and paramedical supplies, special diets and supplements.., it all adds up.

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve had to choose between food and meds because there was no other expense to be cut.

Resist harmful narratives

Recognize when narratives that might promote crash diets or fatphobic/transphobic ideas about matching a character’s size bubble up in discourse. These things can be so normalized they go unnoticed— so calling them what they are is important.

For all the self-proclaimed nutrition experts who pop up the second you say “plant-based,” here’s some bad news:

Another study has confirmed that people eating plant-based and animal-based diets build muscle equally well.

Great result today, I thought after Thursday Killie might have been a difficult game, the early goal was crucial, delighted once again for Kenny getting his goal, Saracchi getting injured was bitterly disappointing, hopefully it isn’t too serious, and the diets dropping points was magic, Hail Hail🍀

I actively block food shaming in my feed, as an Autistic classically trained chef who wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide (COLOR TASTE TEXTURE), to protect folks with restricted diets.

The stigma Erin’s talking about, especially in today’s economy, is plain cruel and hurtful.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.

“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Going to a little gathering this evening and was asked to bring #dessert. As the members of the group adhere to various diets, I figured that some homemade #vegan mocha squares might just hit the spot.

FAO yet again fails to mention diet shifts & their key role:

"About 15 million deaths could be avoided each year & agricultural emissions could drop by 15% if people worldwide shift to healthier, predominantly plant-based diets" apnews.com/article/plan...

A while back, a friend informed me that health food stores had started selling their amino acid isolates as "aminos" because people on "alkaline" diets had stopped buying anything with the word "acid" in the name, and I decided I'm quite happy for those people not to consume any amino acids at all.
