We’re still too fixated on “good” & “bad” foods but they don’t exist – it’s all about dietary patterns.
This is why ultra processed food is a problem. Individually fine, a diet based on them not.

Have you used ZOE or another personalised nutrition service?
If so I'd like to hear about your experiences, good, bad and indifferent, for an article I am writing.
Please contact via my contact form (link below) as I'm very bad at checking DMs!

Surely we’re reaching Peak Cannoli?
A rare sight in the UK until recently, now even the Cornish Bakehouse is selling them!

I am that person who ask if the pastries are vegan and passes if the answer is yes.
Sorry, but butter makes for the best pastries and I don’t trust that replacement vegetable fats haven’t been highly processed.
(BTW, I’m not happy about factory farm butter either.)

It's a relief to read even a philosopher like Julian Baggini “break out in a cold sweat” when encountering overly formalized arguments presented in symbolic logic 😅

My sentiments precisely, for as long as I can remember.
(From the Wellcome Collection exhibition on Beauty.)

To any normal person, packing an Aeropress Go and a portable hand grinder now makes me a coffee obsessive.
But to true geeks, this is barely even an initiation to their esoteric order.
I sit betwixt coffee culture’s connoisseurs and barbarians.

This is in the Rwanda Bill that has shamefully just become law.
It effectively states that by saying that Rwanda is safe, the Secretary of State makes it so, whatever judges & law say.
Whatever you think of the plan to deport refused asylum seekers this is disturbingly Orwellian.

The philosopher Daniel Dennett has died aged 82. Last year Julian Baggini reviewed his new memoir— I’ve Been Thinking—which isn’t just about a thinker’s life—but about the thinking life itself.

I just want socks that are comfortable, durable, affordable, ethical and eco-friendly.
Is that too much to ask?
(Suggestions of purveyors of such hosiery welcome...)

What’s the protocol for face coverings for doctors and nurses in NHS hospitals these days? Are they routinely worn in any wards and/or when seeing Covid patients?

To err is human, to correct is as close to divine as we can get...
Great that Amy Fleming quickly corrected this rather than going into denial, defensive or dismissive mode, which is sadly what too many journos do!

.Amy Fleming states 'according to British Nutrition Foundation, the average woman should eat no more than 45g of protein a day, while the average man should stick to 56g'
False. The guidelines are clearly not maximums. If anything, they sound like minimums.

It's not going to get into any dictionary of quotations but by my modest standards, I quite like this one!

I should have said: Of course explore local specialties but when travelling in Western cities, especially on business, you need good functional go-tos. A random “local” is likely to be poor or a tourist trap.

This is how AI depicted the simple cue “farm” when asked by Proveg’s Joanna Trawern.
A vivid example of how AI reflects our stereotypes, not reality.
