Ok, calling something a "superfood" may be a marketing tactic but that doesn't make me want to smash the delicious-looking berry bowl at the top of this story any less. Thanks @synapse101 and @jessloyer for sharing your expertise! abc.net.au/news/health/2018-… #nutrition #superfoods

What is a superfood anyway, and are they worth my money?

The word "superfood" conjures ideas of natural health and rediscovering ancient wisdom, but the term doesn't have any scientific definition. So do exotic foods from remote cultures have more health...

Iron & B12 important, but beside the point. A one-size-fits-all *global* diet is the very antithesis of food cultures, knowledges, and communities. We need *more* context and diversity in food, nutrition, and ag. Not less. teapawt.net/LouiseStephen9/status/…

Walter Willett recently addressed the Vatican and pushed the case for vegan/vege diet. He also co-Chairs a ‘global dietary guidelines’ working group. A good idea? Iron & B12 no longer needed? @zoeharcombe @DrAseemMalhotra @MarikaSboros @FructoseNo @MaryanneDemasi @ahhite teapawt.net/louisestephen9/status/…

Creating research value needs more than just science – arts, humanities, social sciences can help

Creating research value needs more than just science – arts, humanities, social sciences can help

Mobilising value from science and technology needs help from thinkers, designers, makers, policymakers and enablers – and this expertise often sits in the humanities, arts and social sciences domain.

"Guidelines don't work because people don't follow them"? Really? But this whole discussion illustrates that MAYBE people don't follow guidelines because they don't work *for them.* #Food4Thought18

Now for a #foodstudies18 keynote in Wisc Hist Society, with @cadwego of @UCSUSA. tl:dr of talk = #scienceisnotneutral, is inherently political, cannot be objective, and has moral/ethical obligations to act upon it. YES.
