Important point: this ISN'T about willpower. It is about our food environment. 👇 The ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness. Here’s how to fix it theconversation.com/the-ultra-pr... by @philbakernz.bsky.social et al.

How do newspapers frame food poverty? Our analysis of coverage across the island of Ireland reveals a paradox: structural causes are acknowledged - inadequate income, welfare system failures - yet charity dominates as the proposed solution. This framing obscures the need for government action.

This new paper in the Lancet shows the power of social network analysis and data visualization to convey complex connections among the global political influence of the ultra processed foods industry. I recommend reading this entire paper: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

To dismantle structures that cause imposter syndrome: - Examine who gets credit & why - Value collaborative achievements - Recognize that someone who thinks before speaking might have better ideas than those who dominate the conversation @shannonrwatts.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

Can we audit the equity impact of our research interventions and service designs? Yes., we can, and perhaps this paper will help! doi.org/10.1186/s430...

"In times of crisis, the instinct to stay quiet can feel protective. But if we can’t speak freely or self-correct publicly, we lose the credibility we need most. And that ultimately harms the very communities we’re trying to serve moving forward." cphn.net/blog/ by @tamar-antin.bsky.social
