DC-based animal-rights group has long campaigned to stop everyone from eating meat. Latest is attempt to get CA to list processed meats as a carcinogen. bit.ly/3cQONwm Most rigorous, comprehensive analysis ever of processed meat + cancer is here: bit.ly/2CDhX18
There are v. few clinical trials (rigorous evidence) looking at this issue. The associational data (epidemiology) is extremely weak.
For those of you who know relative risks, the RR of processed meat + cancer is 1.18 (from paper on which IARC decision was made) RR of unprocessed meat was 1.17. A .01 difference. Yet processed meat put in same category as cigarettes, which have a RR of 15-30. No consistency.

Whole milk is banned from schools, despite being a natural product containing protein + many nutrients essential for a child's health and growth. Whole milk is also lower in sugar than 1% or non-fat milk--which is allowed but tastes thin, and often thrown out. #foodwaste 1/3
Part of the USDA's new "Smart Snacks" plan include 100% fruit juices that are high in sugar + also Mountain Dew with 15g sugar. Our kids get these, but not natural whole milk. Why? #4dietaryreform 2/3
Pepsico a big provider for USDA School Lunches "K-12, Passion to Please" This is fed to our children, along with Mountain Dew. But not natural whole milk. Our government's #nutritionpolicy is not based on strong science, not nourishing our children. bit.ly/2TVpOPK 3/3

Willett of @HarvardChanSPH still showing his "Disinformation Triangle" to audiences (last week, most recently), saying "sensationalist media" includes top journal @AnnalsofIM bc it published reviews of red meat, and @ginakolata of @nytimes bc she wrote a balanced story on it 1/
Also accuses one of article's authors, at Texas A&M of being "Big Beef" bc <4% of general funds for his dept. come from beef industry (even tho these funds were not used to pay for @AnnalsofIM article). 2/
And mocks Dr. Guyatt, world-famous co-founder of "GRADE" review method, used by 150+ health groups worldwide, of being part of "Disinformation" bc he does "'evidence-based' academics." Hmm. Don't we want reliable, evidence-based policy? What does W. Willett want instead? 3/3

For those who missed the #DietaryGuidelines Committee hearing this week. Top news:
--USDA still using its 'own' methodology-- unvalidated, unrecognized. Allows evidence grade to be "strong" based solely on epidemiological studies 😒
1/
Thus, committee gave "strong" evidence grade for existing, status-quo Guidelines (Med/DASH/plant-based) and all-cause mortality, based only on epi data (not enough evidence for other 'dietary patterns,' committee said)
--No other "Dietary Pattern" review is yet complete. 2/
--It appears "low-carb" still defined as 45%
--Saturated-fats review not yet done.
--No 'strong' evidence for anything else. Only "moderate" or less for other questions...thus, if this were a rigorous process, no recommendations would be made based on such weaker evidence... 3/

⛔Stop alla valutazione della ricerca e al finanziamento in base alla produttività.

Le proposte Cgil x l'università (bit.ly/36iHEjM) sono un manifesto della conservazione e contro il merito, un favore alle vecchie generazioni e uno sgambetto alle nuove.

[thread 👇]

1/
Non a caso il tono del comunicato Cgil ricorda in modo inquietante lo sciagurato pezzo contro il merito di Walter Lapini sul Corriere (quello dell'inglese "vaselina dei popoli"), che avevo "tradotto" qui 👇

2/
Se si rinuncia a valutare la ricerca e si slega il finanziamento dalla produttività, gli accademici senior perdono incentivi a reclutare i giovani più produttivi, quelli che hanno mostrato di saper contribuire al dibattito scientifico internazionale.

1. After the 2018 @IPCC_CH report spelled out the difference between a 2 Degree and 1.5 Degree world, here's a few thoughts on tomorrow's #SRCCL report that will put the spotlight on how the way we use our land will affect our odds of hitting 1.5 degree and what this means for EU
2. Firstup, despite the deeply worrying state of land use, the existence of the report itself, ahead of the @UNClimateSummit this September and two crucial COP's next year on climate and biodiversity is an important step forward
3. Secondly, it represents a growing consensus on where the solutions are; restoring ecosystems (in particular peatlands), reducing meat consumption and production, securing indigenous land rights

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
