Not surprising. “Dietary experts advise skipping guidelines on ultra-processed foods — for now” statnews.com/2024/10/21/ult…

Interesting that justification for changing the sat fat scoring is ‘lack of meaningful evidence from long-term epi studies’ yet does not apply same rationale to using NOVA classification. For additives, a binary score (regardless of amount) undermines food safety assessments.

´Don’t boycott. Ask questions.’ Well said. We should all follow this approach. The food system is complicated and evolving. Knee jerk reactions and boycotts only serve to dampen the dialogue and delay progress.

Chances of keeping warming to 1.5°C target are gone. We’re on track for 3°C by end of century. Current global commitments would mean 2.8°C For avoidance of doubt that would result in economic, environmental and societal collapse. unep.org/resources/emis…
