This is not really on the agenda of today's "faux burger"-hyping Green Avenger elite, is it?

4.5 Gt CO2e due to mass tourism in 2013 (and growing with annual 4% rate!), which is about the same as the total of beef and dairy combined? Difference: the latter are nourishing us and providing important assets to rural families.
Let's also put the issue food waste (3.3 Gt CO2e) in the equation of potential priorities...
And not to mention those smartphones, notebooks, and all that other fancy electronic equipment... Total ICT expected to exceed 14% of total emissions by 2040.

Watch WRI (an #EATLancet ally) hitting an all-time low in its social engineering approach to steer people away from animal foods.

Clearly, this is all about marketing, not facts.

Appalling!

#yes2meat #yes2eggs #yes2dairy
This is WRI's "Shift Wheel" strategy.

"Disguise the change", "make socially unacceptable" - can it be more sneaky?

And this is their toolbox:

marketing, play social norms, change dietary guidelines, 30-day challenges (Veganuary?), price wars, meat tax, *banning* meat from restaurants

EAT-Lancet's mission: bring global food diversity within One Healthy Diet. How confident are we that the Great Food Transformation they've designed for us is also going to be beneficial?

The #EATLancet campaign is a very problematic one. This thread is a compilation of articles that address issues of concern that the mainstream media choose to ignore.

Let me start with this article that I wrote with @docmartincohen:

Today’s Earth looks a lot like it did 115,000 years ago. All we’re missing is massive sea level rise. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
2. Enjoyed spending a lot of time in this story discussing a lot of studies. On how close we are now to the conditions of the Eemian interglacial, circa 115k years ago:

Here are links to some of the papers that are included in that photo from 12 months of publications. And that photo is only *some* of our published papers.

This is an epic thread because our team are awesome. This is while they work on a PhD. Casually--on the side--like you do.

de tweetstorm die terugkwam, deze keer netjes gebundeld zoals het heurt:
lichte en zware voorwerpen vallen even snel, dacht Galileo al (als je even buiten de luchtweerstand rekent)
1/20
gek eigenlijk: andere natuurkrachtenkrachten dan de zwaartekracht -magnetische krachten, statische elektriciteit- werken helemaal niet zo.
2/20 #equivalentieprincipe
Hoe zwaarder een voorwerp, hoe harder zwaartekracht trekt. Dat is de zware massa. Maar ook: hoe zwaarder een voorwerp, hoe trager het op gang komt, dat is de trage massa. #equivalentieprincipe

Wow, check out this AMAZING editorial in @NatRevClinOncol by the Editor-in-chief!!

First, I am grateful to hear our thought experiment that low barriers to approval can actually incentive broad, redundant low value trials agenda's was mentioned; Understanding that we are portraying what is possible
nature.com/articles/s4157…
Yet, the truth is not far off, as regulators approve toxic drugs based on 1 trial, with nominal significance, even if the endpoint is a surrogate; and this might explain the 1000+ PD1 trials

Today we look at the Health and Lifestyle Survey by Boniface and Tefft published in 2002. This study looked at ~2600 men and women. The methodology was a single interview with follow up. Patients with existing CVD were excluded.
The study showed a strong and significant effect on CHD mortality in women, but none in men. The pooled analysis was not mentioned in their results. The average SFA consumption was 414 calories per day in the non-excluded patients. This is 20% of a typical day's calories.
SFA consumption was generally higher in the men than in the women. CHD mortality as a whole in the unexcluded group was 8% in men, 4% in women. You can see that age was the most important determiner of risk from this chart. nature.com/articles/16015…
