How a sugary breakfast cereal easily gets a #Nutriscore B, but can't escape an awful #NOVA score... No wonder why such corporations are typically happy to endorse the former & vilify the latter.
From "How Nestlé influences Swiss authorities" (in french) 👉 rts.ch/info/suisse/12…
Them being proud of the "first pizza with #NutriScore". This concoction is an insult to all pizzaiole in the world 😖 wuv.de/marketing/nest…
Same company: the "faux meat" market being ideal to play the #Nutriscore algorithms and fabricate A-B scores.
In this topsy-turvy world, criticism of #Nutriscore is branded as "BigFood" lobbying, while BigFood itself is lobbying to make #Nutriscore the mandatory EU standard. nestle.com/media/news/nes…

‼️📢 The #GlobalBurdenOfDisease (GBD) study is used globally in health policies. Very odd things are going on, incl. the assumption that every bite of red #meat is harmful (?!) In this letter to The Lancet 👇 we are asking to see the evidence. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
We were told that the GBD/IHME scientists were initially committed to respond to our questions but they seem to have changed their minds. No response was submitted, despite requests from The Lancet’s Editorial Team to do so 🤔
This is what GBD now assumes to be the effect of red meat intake on all-cause mortality relative risk, having effectively reduced the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL) of red meat to ZERO !?! healthdata.org/results/gbd_su…

Overview of US food availability data over past 2 centuries: dramatic increase in (ultra)processed foods, while animal fat declined. In parallel: a rising incidence of non-communicable diseases.

"The unprocessed elements of our 19th century diet–animal fats, whole fat dairy, fresh vegetables & fruits—were progressively replaced with more processed elements, including industrial seed oils, HFCS, and ready-to-eat snacks and meals" frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
"Data do not support the widely publicized “changing American diet” of increasing animal-derived SFAs over the first 60 y of the 20th C. Rather, polyunsaturated fats & partially hydrogenated fats from vegetable oils progressively replaced lard, butter,..." frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Financial Times @ft: "#Plantbased meat is losing its sizzle, with falling US sales casting a shadow over expectations that the nascent category would take a chunk out of the real animal #meat market" ft.com/content/61e782…
This doesn't seem to help their case: "Taco Bell has rejected a #plantbased carne asada from Beyond Meat. [F]ood testers [..] found it to be below the standard of moving to a test phase & serving it to customers" yahoo.com/lifestyle/taco…
"Investors expressed concern [..] that customers might not be getting the idea behind Beyond Meat"

Or maybe that's precisely what is happening and people *are* getting "the idea behind Beyond Meat"?

If psychopaths take over, #FoodSystems would look like this: end agriculture, eat microbial glop.

"replacing agricultural primary production with electrically powered microbial primary production [.] could alleviate agriculturally driven climate change"

The idea does have supporters.
