Mexico is leading the way on food policy again! Imagine if the US were to ban ultraprocessed foods from schools. It'd be revolutionary.

Totally and completely baffling. While Mexico's banning junk food from schools, the US is going backwards on chronic disease prevention. I'd like to understand what the rationale for this could possibly be.

Weird, unexpected take but...I like grading papers? Reading about how students' families influenced their love of food warms my heart. Reading about their passion for making our food system better gives me hope. It's just the dose of optimism I need right about now.

Dietary Guidelines committee last week explicitly recommended cutting red meat and increasing plant-based protein. Unsurprisingly, Big Beef's already going nuts (pun intended): wsj.com/health/wellnes….

All of this, and more. I’m taking a break from Twitter as well, and hope that our community of scientists can find another platform to connect.

still so much food insecurity in the country but with double burdens of chronic disease - yet we don't have this sort of positive bipartisan enthusiasm for the greater health of the nation. We've got a antivax retribution vibes that are pro raw milk & supplements with little talk

Catch me on NPR this morning talking about my favorite topic, breakfast cereal, and why we need to cut out the junk food marketing to kids. Industry can't & won't stop themselves. npr.org/2025/01/30/nx-…

Don’t miss new evidence on product reformulation in #Mexico! After the FOP warning labels policy, we observed reduced added sugars, sodium & saturated fat in the food supply. Policy matters for public health! #Nutrition #FoodPolicy Read more: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… 🚨📢

If you're keeping track of the long list of things this admin's done that flies in the face of MAHA, censoring and ultimately losing the top intramural nutrition scientist studying food processing and health is definitely towards the top.
