This sobering book by @jamestabery argues that disproportionate investment in the science underlying “precision medicine” has led to less focus on important environmental drivers of poor health. Is the same story repeating in the context of “precision nutrition”? HT @garytaubes

#FoodSecurity screening should occur for reproductive-aged females. Our systematic review suggests few healthcare settings are doing this; there are gaps in understanding how clinicians should screen and support @feemck @paigevdp @Vidanka2 @Rebecca_L_L academic.oup.com/nutritionre…

Ignoring this advice entrenches inequality & leaves people in our communities behind, including the 1 in 6 children growing up in poverty. As a wealthy country we can ensure people aren't having to choose between medicine & food so they can get back on their feet & contribute.

How many Australians are going hungry? We don't know for sure, and that's a big part of the problem theconversation.com/how-many… via @ConversationEDU @SueKleve @Steph_Godrich @drkatherinekent @drmwilliams @IHT_Deakin

How many Australians are going hungry? We don’t know for sure, and that’s a big part of the problem

A country of plenty like Australia should be able to ensure no one is denied their right to adequate food. But food insecurity is on the rise, and we aren’t even properly monitoring the problem.
