This burger is offering me a free burger. Is it offering itself, or has it enslaved the other sentient burgers, trying to make me complicit? Do I *want* to join this burger's rewards? What kind of life do the rewards have? The QR code isn't answering any of these questions.

When I co-created Serving Up Science with the wonderful people at WKAR, we never imagined the reach our little show about #food and #science would have. We connected with classrooms, rural towns, big cities, and curious minds across the country - all because of public media. 1/2

Chalk added to milk was the least of it.

While researching a story on this for radio, I learned they also used plaster of paris and pureed calf brains.

A lot of people, including children died. #Food safety regulation is critical. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… #health #uspol

A very short book excerpt

Tuna Sold at Trader Joe’s, Costco, Walmart, and More Recalled Over Botulism Risk

Tri-Union Seafoods is recalling canned tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B, and Trader Joe’s brand labels. The recall was initiated after Tri-Union Seafoods was notified by its supplier that the cans’ “easy open” pull tab lids have a manufacturing defect that may affect the products’ seal and possibly contaminate the tuna with clostridium botulinum (commonly referred to as botulism), a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.

Did you know red meat contributes up to 30% of agricultural emissions? It's one reason the ag sector is the 2nd-largest greenhouse gas emitter after energy. But not all meats have the same impact - on the planet or our personal health.

The #food system is one of the most meaningful places to address #ClimateChange.

Have you been curious about switching from gas to #induction? This game-changing cooktop is faster, cleaner, more precise, and a win for the environment.

My new ep of Serving Up Science is all about why it makes sense to switch when it’s time to replace your range. youtu.be/JyTvHQnHq14?si=4twIzt… #energy

This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in #food security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).

But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️

It’s #EarthDay & I’m giving a talk all about the global food system & its impact on the environment.

The agricultural sector is one of the most significant + immediately scalable places to have impact.

Since my talk isn’t public, here’s a great piece from @globalecoguy & the good folks at Project Drawdown. drawdown.org/news/insights/how…

How food and farming will determine the fate of planet Earth

Agriculture has disrupted the planet more than anything we have ever done, including burning fossil fuels. A sustainable future depends on recognizing this fact – and radically changing how we farm and eat.
