Cash crops, along with their well-managed residues, can match or even surpass the benefits of traditional cover crops. They effectively control erosion, scavenge nutrients, disrupt pest cycles, and enhance soil health. How? Biomass production. My latest: csanr.wsu.edu/cash-crops-and…

"Soil drives food systems" and similar commonly stated. However, food/cropping systems actually drive soils, through energy inputs. The soil would not function very well without inputs from plant photosynthesis. csanr.wsu.edu/follow-the-ene…

The reason why fake meat is failing is because its entire business case consists of vilifying the competitor (meat, an ancestral food seen as nutritionally & culturally valuable by most, so good luck with that). As a bleak imitation product, it offers no value on its own merits.

America exports more than culture and tech. It also exports misinformation. And according to the BMJ, that’s now threatening vaccine confidence in Europe. European health leaders are sounding the alarm: False vaccine claims born in the U.S. spread by politicians, influencers,

Traditional diets are Chesterton's fences. Remove them based on "scientific" design, appeals to "eating right", & dietary technocracy, and you pave the way to eating disorders & orthorexia, nutritionism, nutri-fixing by food corporations, fake "food", & worsened public health.

Funny how the loudest voices online make it seem like they’re the majority. They’re not. A tiny, angry fraction just learned how to use the algorithm. Time to stop letting them write the story.

Can’t pronounce an ingredient? So what? A chemical name: ZERO to do with potential harm or safety. Vitamin C, also called: (5R)-[(1S)-1,2-Dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one Chemistry naming rules = info about structure & function. That’s it. youtu.be/xUGedWOUsjE?si…

"The universalization of the planetary diet represents a biological & cultural oversimplification. Nutritional strategies must account for evolutionary metabolism, regional diversity & clinical outcomes. Ancestral autogenous diets may offer a more effective & ecological solution"

You’ve been told microplastics are everywhere. In your food. In your blood. Even in your brain. You should panic. You should rage. But what if most of it was junk science? 🧵1/

Oh come on. A “foundation report” signed by Andrew Wakefield - the guy whose fake paper was literally retracted for fraud - and Peter McCullough, the man who turned pseudoscience into a career? That’s not research. That’s recycling garbage in a PDF. They cherry-pick,

Din årlige påminnelse fra Dødsårsaksregisteret 🪦om at hovedbegrunnelsen for moderne kostråd (bølge av hjerteinfarkt og mistanke mot mettet fett) nå er borte. Det var en epidemi som kom etter krigen og forsvant igjen på nittitallet. Kos deg med helmelken. 🥛

Pastoralism and forests are interdependent. In some areas, riparian forests (those close to a body of water) are a significant grazing resource for livestock during dry seasons. In exchange, pastoralism helps maintain and renew these lands. 👉 bit.ly/3He47Hp

Humanity’s history is a continuous battle between us and the microbes. For most of our history, we were on the losing side. It wasn’t even close. We were losing very decisively. Billions of children died from infectious diseases. They were the main reason why child mortality was

"longevity, health, and sovereignty are being re-framed, rewritten, and replaced. This narrative is not shaped by ancestral wisdom or genuine well-being, but instead, by commercial interests and ideological bias, disguised as ‘public health'"

What if we’ve been wrong about what saved the most lives in human history? Most people think it was medicine. It wasn’t. The real hero was something far more humble - and it still shapes our future today. Here is story of food, science, and hope 🧵👇1/

Europe has world-class scientists, world-leading universities, and billions in R&D funding. Yet innovation is stalling. Why? Because every new idea faces a wall of hesitation. Gene editing. AI. Cell therapy. Europe helped invent them. Others had the courage to deploy them.
