Does it really matter what eggs you buy?

Season 4 of Serving Up Science is out today & this episode covers what terminology like "cage-free," "pasture-raised," "organic" & more really means. #food #science


According to OurWorldInData, 80 billion animals are slaughtered for food each year.

The scale of what eat (& waste) is massive, which contributes to #ClimateChange & degrades the environment.

In the US, we consume ~280lbs (127 kg) /person/year (not including fish & seafood).

Beef has the most significant environmental impact & Argentinians consume 104lbs (47 kg) of beef/person/year. #food


Decided to be more active here, so let me reintroduce myself! I'm a zooarchaeologist researching #Farming and #Food of the past. I study animal and plant remains 🐐🌾, apply biochemical analyses πŸ§ͺ, and want to use this knowledge of the past to contribute to #Sustainability today 🚜

Latest batch. This time with almost three weeks fermentation of habaneros, bird’s eye chilis, carrots, onions and blueberries 🫐

It’s as delicious as it looks!

An upcoming episode of Serving Up Science is all about how soil sustains life & is critical in conversations about #ClimateChange & #food security.

Here you can see two glasses where I poured water over tilled (left) & untilled (right) soil.

The details will be in the full episode, but the take home is that soil structure matters. Healthy soil prevents erosion & flooding, stores carbon, supports biodiversity & keeps our crops growing. 🌱


A significant, if not predominant, proportion of carbon footprint within the β€œ#food system” comes from direct or indirect usage of fossil fuels, which include energy supply, fertilisers, supply chain and logistics, packaging / plastics, cooking and serving etc.

Therefore, from a purely scientific perspective, I am not sure your challenge to Musk’s statement stands as you might be speaking of similar things just in different terms.

I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.

Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:

25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.

As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

Yesterday, cultivated meat was cleared for sale in the US by the Department of Agriculture.

Not sure what to make of meat from a lab? Here’s our explainer from last season’s Serving Up Science:

Did you know a pepper becomes a chile when it is picked & dried?

A green jalapeΓ±o or cuaresmeΓ±o becomes chipotle. A poblano turns to an ancho.

This infographic from El Jornalero provides a simplified look at some of the most common names of Mexican capsicum peppers & chiles. #food #science



Meat industry blocked the IPCC’s attempt to recommend a plant-based diet

β€œA leak of a draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (#IPCC) report..has been particularly enlightening when it comes to just how much how delegations negotiate, watered down & delete scientists’ findings.”

You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.

Here’s the most important take home:

There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.

Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

First time trying to make vegetable charcuterie. Boiled beets and carrots, peel, salt for 2 days, dust some #koji on, and hope it blooms. #food #cooking #fermentation


For those interested in how #food waste drives global problems, Michael Webber & I spoke on this at the annual #Science meeting in 2019. /2

Food waste is responsible for at least *6%* of global greenhouse gas emissions.

We can change that. Right now.

I made a pretty attractive frittata if I do say so myself!

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ red onion, mushrooms, and kale sautΓ©ed in olive oil.

Baked at 350 for 20 minutes.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.

Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

A new Serving Up Science is all about cultivated meat: youtu.be/GaX38aFAGSo

In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded its own research on the effects of sugar on health.

The results didn't look good - for them. Studies revealed a high-sugar diet may increase risks associated with heart attacks, strokes & certain cancers.

But... rather than share emerging findings, the study was curiously halted & the industry successfully shifted blame onto fats.

It took decades to widely link sugary diets to disease. It didn't have to. npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/… #food #science



Next one is white anchovy, salted anchovy, kalamata olives and bocconcini

I made biscuits! They’re kinda pine tree shaped, but more like pine cones.

Made from scratch without a recipe. And they are delicious.

Tonight’s dinner. An experiment that much worked. It’s a caramelised onion and blue brie tart.

First attempt at Creme BrΓ»lΓ©e.

Extremely tasty, didn’t quite get the custard consistency right, and my torch is out of gas so I had to use the grill which isn’t quite as effective.

Will need to try again at some point.

β€˜Tis pizza night!

I went with 70% hydration this time, and it definitely puffs up more and feels lighter to eat. However, it is more likely to stick to the peel, making it more difficult to deal with.

I made these pistacchio biscuits today. They turned out, in taste and texture like macarons, but not as smooth on the outside.

Very tasty, somewhat fiddly to make, and DO NOT spoon out in tablespoon measures as it says. I used dessertspoon and they are too big. Go with teaspoon size.

Dinner tonight was fresh wood fired pizzas followed by strawberry clafoutis and ice cream.
