@mrc314 @JohnCaseIII @AmandaZZ100 @MatthewJDalby 1) Eliminate dietary guidelines that attempt to prevent chronic disease, as we have no evidence to support such guidance.
2) Advise the public to first, get adequate essential nutrition from sources that do not need enrichment or fortification to be nourishing. 1/
@mrc314 @JohnCaseIII @AmandaZZ100 @MatthewJDalby 3) Advise the public to maintain a weight that is healthy for the individual involved; this should be a discussion between the individual & a professional & should not be measured via BMI charts. 2/
@mrc314 @JohnCaseIII @AmandaZZ100 @MatthewJDalby 4) Government should make nutrition assistance programs consist with adequate essential nutrition advice, with a primary focus on high biologically available protein sources for low-income mothers and children.
@mrc314 @JohnCaseIII @AmandaZZ100 @MatthewJDalby 5) Drop all funding of nutritional epidemiology of chronic disease studies and get serious about understanding variations in essential nutrition. The work of Steven Zeisel at UNC would be a model for such research. 4/done

@MacroFour @traderjodie Poor people will always buy cheaper food than people with more money. Across the globe, our economic systems are making plenty of poor people such that the food industry will not want for customers for cheap food. 1/
@MacroFour @traderjodie I think middle-class consumers are more likely to be drivers of what "the food industry" does/doesn't do bc there's more discretionary spending there anyway.

With Hyman's tweet it isn't so much the principle that offends, but the rhetoric. 2/
@MacroFour @traderjodie His message was directed at middle-class consumers & as @sarahkbowen1's book demonstrates, such messages can make low-income parents (moms esp.) feel guilty & frustrated about what they can/should provide for their families. 3/

Very interesting thread. Is the call to eat less-processed foods elitist?

Let's go back in time a bit. At one time, eating more-processed convenience foods was a sign of an upwardly mobile middle class who didn't have to grow/raise/preserve their own foods.
The folks who did usually lived in more rural areas. Land loss that occurred with increasing large industrial ag & urban/suburban growth coincided with push to see many more-processed foods as "healthy" (DGA) AND increase in income gap.
These more-processed foods (breakfast cereals, packaged meals, juice, etc.) were cheaper substitutes for more expensive sources of nourishment (meat, milk, veggies) & also got crowned with the halo of "health" via DGA & food science that allowed for low-fat, etc. labelling.

What happened to the #Mueller hype?
What happened to the Mueller will take down #POTUS threats [@JohnBrennan]?
Was MUELLER the 'insurance' policy aka #BLOCKADE designed to limit/restrict POTUS' ability to enforce the law?
[#TRAITORS]
"complexities, opaqueness & length of counterintel investigations, I’d be surprised if #Mueller was able to uncover breadth of this #conspiracy. More digging will have to be done. But there’ll be crimes. & we better get to see them://t.co/seYfCs0d6q
"A concise #Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end, argues @neal_katyal"

Financial economics vs accounting = NPV vs gross profit, an example:
Management communication of positive NPV project and gains for existing vs new shareholders:
"In a famous survey, Graham, Harvey, and Rajgopal found that 80% of CFOs would cut spending on discretionary future-oriented activities such as marketing and R&D to meet short-term earnings targets." nber.org/papers/w10550

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

Thread: The latest statistics about govt's counter-terrorism #Prevent prog are out. Lots of interesting figures but here are some that I think are very troubling: Of the 7,318 ppl (mostly young ppl) referred to Prevent, *only 5%* are actually assessed to require Channel support.
2/How professionals decide *who is a risk* and how #Prevent prog arrives at risk factors is hugely impt. Huge Qs about how accurate the assessment is. Of the 7,318 ppl referred, many young & Muslim, 82% dismissed/referred to non-radicalisn services. But stigmatised either way.
The 95% "misdiagnosis" rate in #Prevent is worrying given that it disproportionately affects young Muslim ppl. Not many ppl realise this, but the way #Prevent is implemented - and its impact - is very similar to #Stopandsearch. It's humiliating and the stigma follows you.

We're now moving into the closing plenary of #wpath2018. There will be a closing ceremony this afternoon, but first we're hearing an update on the draft Version 8 WPATH Standards of Care.
We're hearing from Standards of Care committee chair Eli Coleman. "This is a much more robust process than we've ever achieved before".

Process informed by published scientific/research evidence, patient factors/clinical circumstances, and clinical expertise. #wpath2018
Process for writing WPATH SOC 8:
- identify scope
- convene committees for specific topics
- refine questions
- assess evidence
- draft guideline
- external peer review
- disseminate guidelines

This is a must read for the 1984 George Orwell leftist strategy placed in England:
Pakistan, too, is the heroin capital of the world. (A fact which is now reflected in the drug problems of English cities with Asian populations
How could the denizens of such a country so wildly and implacably resent the simple British requirement for all parents to send children to school regularly?
My disappointment was compounded by a sense of irony. These people, who now so vehemently accused the authorities of denying them a right which, in reality was a privilege no other parents enjoyed
