With gratitude to God, I announce the peaceful passing of my beloved mother, Mad. Konduuk N. Laar (Afia Namun), aged 90, she lived a long and full life. A life of faith, humility & service. We are comforted by the promise of eternal rest.

Read our piece in @ConversationCA the need for food companies to do more to create healthier food environments theconversation.com/how-big-… with Alexa @gaucher_holm @DanaOlstad and Monique @PotvinKent from #INFORMASCanada.
fraserinstitute.org/article/… says @NadeemEsmail in this 2013 article. Pls send me the sequel to this article. The policy's purported lack of efficacy is not inherent but rather a result of manipulation by actors with vested interests. It's an efficacious public health intervention.
