When streets are engineered for safety, some drivers will inevitably say "I don't like how slow this street is" and you need to be willing to say "I don't care if that's how you feel."

"Please, tell me again why you need a car..." 🛴 x.com/i/status/16453…

I strongly believe that veganism will not succeed without "extreme" vegans. Nor will it succeed without advocates who merely suggest a reduction of meat consumption. What seems ineffective to me is trying to drag any vegan or an ally into advocacy they don't feel comfortable in

In a blinded sensory experiment, a burger with a plant-based, Impossible Foods patty ranks higher than a patty fully made from cows. In fact, it’s also preferred when people know which is which. Be ready for more products like that, and be on the right side of history 🍔🌮🍕

How did the Netherlands become the cycling heaven it is today? By building an average of 640 km of protected cycleways every year for pretty much last 50 years. Year after year. Your city won’t be like Utrecht tomorrow. However, it can get closer by taking one step at a time.

Each passenger petrol car that’s purchased by a Londoner or someone who regularly commutes to London induces a socialised health care cost of £8,000 due to air pollution over its lifetime. Each diesel vehicle leads to doubling of that cost to £16,000. independent.co.uk/climate-change…

- We don’t have space to build new housing! - Hear me out though — car parking… 10 000 people will be able to live in the area currently taken by a parking lot as part of a redevelopment of a shopping mall in Gothenburg, Sweden. Don’t be a NIMBY.

I hold a belief that the term “ultra processed foods” isn’t descriptive enough, and that there exist health promoting UPFs, but knowing typical diets, it does suggest people in yellow and red regions tend to pick those UPFs that might have detrimental impact on their health.

You don’t need meat, dairy or eggs to build muscle as well as those who eat those can. However, novel protein foods — and mycoprotein seem to be a great pick — help make it more convenient and palatable. Still, tofu exists, is safe and widely available — so what’s your excuse?

The spreadsheet to calculate the updated version of the #NutriScore validated by the 7 countries that adopted it (🇫🇷🇧🇪🇩🇪🇧🇴🇱🇺🇳🇱🇨🇭), and the FAQ with the calculation methods of the new algorithm are on the website of the French Public Health Agency (SPF) santepubliquefrance.fr/determinants-d…

People think I’m against car use and drivers. I’m not. Quite the contrary. What I do support above all else is ability to travel and enjoy life without a car, and a baseline in which people who decide to use a car no longer risk lives and health of others. It’s unacceptable.
