📣 “They’re TAKING our burgers!” 🍔🚫 (Just kidding... kinda.) Populist narratives on social media love a good food freakout—turning simple sustainability efforts into "they're coming for your dinner" drama. 🎭 buff.ly/zzDLDP2

🌍 Debunking the Myths: Social Media's Role in Food Sustainability Populist discourse is reshaping perceptions, often portraying essential sustainability measures as oppressive. It's time to set the record straight. #FoodTransparency #ClimateChange #SocialMedia

Meatfluencer, Dave Asprey keeps saying vegetables are bad for us? What’s up with that? www.foodfacts.org/articles/pla...

The dairy industry is in trouble. So the latest ploy is to make manure more valuable, capturing inefficient manure methane to con taxpayers thinking this offsets burps It's a last ditch effort that's working since animal agriculture has the biggest lobby of any industry www.vox.com/future-perfe...

In times of crisis, don’t forget the animals. 🙏🏼 #LAfires

Posted @withregram • @robbie_lockie How has X suddenly become Meta’s model for tackling the tsunami of misinformation—a platform that now permits unprecedented levels of hate speech under the guise of “free speech”?

Team #JessPhillips - the stuff that Elon Musk has said about her is disgusting.

The most vital thing for every Earth citizen to understand, and act on. Get into THE fight of all time: for your mother planet. Every one of us has a part to play, you just need to find it. 🌍

Social commentators like Jordan Peterson are weaponizing terms like “misinformation & disinformation.” Peterson’s public statement made recently demonstrates an attempt to deflect criticism Read our deep dive on why this is a serious problem for society at large www.foodfacts.org/articles/mis...

Is Raw Milk the Health Craze You Should Avoid? 🤔🥛 It’s gaining popularity among health enthusiasts, and even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can't stop raving about it! But before you dive into the latest raw milk trend, consider this: Are you risking your health for a glass of this unpasteurized dairy?

A new national #foodstrategy is essential 🇬🇧

https://buff.ly/4ggR6Jj The Dutch don't play around when it comes to growing vegetables 🤩 No wonder they're second biggest exporter worldwide. To boost UK food security, it's essential for us to improve our pitiful vegetable production. We need to copy the Dutch & invest in high tech greenhouses.

Why are so many health influencers obsessed with seed oils? 🌻 It’s because they lack the skills and knowledge on how to interpret data in scientific studies. This leads to the rampant spread of #misinformation. www.foodfacts.org/articles/are...

Food waste is a growing problem, and confusion over best-before dates isn't helping. With both food production and #foodwaste expected to increase in the coming years, standardizing labels could make a difference. What are your thoughts on best-before dates? 🥦

🫠 Social media influencers often claim their information is 'backed by science' ⚛️ or cite 'studies.' It's crucial to evaluate these claims and not assume honesty. Usually, it's best to be skeptical and verify their sources. read www.foodfacts.org/articles/spo...

Shifting baseline syndrome explains how we normalise the continual visceration of once unimaginably rich ecosystems. Rewilding – our minds, lands, and seas – is the solution. 🌏

How does a fallen tree benefit the ecosystem? It: 1. Increases structural diversity, providing richer habitat for animal inhabitants 2. Floods light to a section of the woodland floor, giving young trees a chance to reach canopy 3. If it dies, its nutrients flow back into ecosystem Etc...

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Factory farming is a monster—a threat to nature, humanity, and the future of our planet. 🌍 Factory farming is causing: 🌊 River acidification 🐠 Ocean dead zones 🌳 Deforestation 🦉 Species loss 🏞️ Habitat destruction 🔥 Climate breakdown Read the piece here 👉

No surprise to hear a total replacement of animal foods with plants reduces climate impact 🫘Most people will not go vegan, so enciuraging more plant based meals occasions is a pragmatic approach www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Hi, I’m Robbie! founder of @foodfacts.org and CEO of @TheFreedomFoodAlliance. I speak about protecting nature, tackling misinformation, building ethical food systems, and exploring an ethical role of AI in society. 🥬🥦🫛🥑🥒🌶️🫑🌽🥕 Lets chat 💬

Is one of the problems with lack of action on food system that it's so hard to visualize? Carbon - methane - biodiversity loss: abstract concepts compared to clothes washing up on the beach. If we could see it, we'd do more to change what we eat? www.independent.co.uk/life-style/f...

Most communication methods require identification, like phone contracts. Should social networks require government-issued ID? Australia has banned social media for under 16s, and the UK is considering a similar move. However, since many users lie about their age, would this truly make a difference?

Doesn't it feel good to be on a social media platform that doesn't feel like a shopping mall? With a bajillion brands vying for your attention? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Gen. AI is an incredible innovation—one I deeply admire—but there’s no denying the injustice built into its current structure. The reality is this: AI owes its existence and creative ability to the countless artists, writers, and creators who unknowingly provided the training data it depends on.

Did you know that duckweed (also known as water lentils) contains bioavailable vitamin B12? 🍀 Some species, like Wolffia globosa (branded as Lentein), have been studied and found to contain active, absorbable forms of B12 (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin).
