Just published -- the largest and most thorough annotated bibliography on ultra-processed foods and the NOVA classification system known to humankind! By yours truly, for the @OUPAcademic Bibliographies on Food Studies. academic.oup.com/reference/6…
I've spent a lot of time thinking and writing about "ultra-processed foods" the last few years. Now, I've summed up the state-of-the-debate up with a brief explainer in @ConversationUS.

with many links to a range of (often competing) voices in this convo -- to name a few @CMonteiro_USP, @marionnestle, @GyorgyScrinis, @TheLancet, @HEResearch, @SoilAssociation, @ggkuhnle, @jan_dutkiewicz, @juliaoftoronto, @KevinH_PhD, @fordeycee, @GreenQueenHK, @DieteticSpeak
EA is not a narrow cult, it's a wide-tent movement that includes a BUNCH of narrow cults. Some of them give away all their money to save children in the developing world, some give kidneys to strangers, some create bizarre scenarios about ASI and interstellar biodomes.
My hope is that this bibliography offers a balanced and useful portrait of the state of the evidence. I come away pretty unconvinced that all UPFs are bad, but also firmly convinced that we should work hard to promote access to healthy and affordable minimally processed foods.
I've seen lots of responses that counter Kat's claim here, but haven't seen anyone mention that most suburbanites who watch local TV news thinks every US city is a violent hellscape.
Local TV news remains one of the most underestimated sources of (conservative) cultural power in US media, probably because its viewership is older and less online. newsliteracy.psu.edu/news/th…

NEW PUB: Plant-based meat brands like Impossible Foods said their INNOVATIVE TECH would change the world. As the market stalled, a big question lingered -- do consumers want to EAT innovation? Our focus group study aimed to find out more. OPEN ACCESS 1/

What influences people to adopt (or not adopt) plant-based meat alternatives? A range of micro-, meso-, and macro-level factors all play a role. Resistance at any level makes it tough, but resistance across all three makes it basically impossible. 3/

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

Who hates cultured meat?? I wrote about the diverse coalition opposed to cellular agriculture, from reasonable critics to outright conspiracists. It's part of a book on "Cell-Based Meat in the European Union and Beyond" - OPEN ACCESS! link.springer.com/chapter/10…
