Senate has just passed legislation to protect Australians from Big Vape and Big Tobacco.    It’s a world-leading law.    More importantly, it will mean up to 1,000 fewer teenagers will get hooked, every single week.

Honestly, the nerve of these front groups... :/

This is so so so important, especially as we're on the brink of a full-blown biodiversity crisis. Also foods that might have low GHGs may have high water footprints, land use, etc. Glad to see that this is being brought to the attention of people in the field of nutrition.

“An ecological reorientation of the decision-making elements that influence how Codex sets food standards... could help transform food systems towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.” Our new paper is available online here: rdcu.be/dM44q

AI is not going to fix basic social determinant of health inequities. AI is not going to make you eat/sleep better, help reduce stress, or help with social connection. The behavioural victim blaming/sense of "I know what's best for undeserved people" here is astonishing.
