@csmaje @JimThoma5 @GeorgeMonbiot @drvandanashiva Have blocked GM sadly, but replied to Vandana below, I assume in a similar vein. My 2p: It's simply a case of unintentionally amplifying cranks whilst highlighting genuine concerns. Anyone looking at an excange like this in good faith would see that... x.com/northnthat/sta…
@drvandanashiva Thanks Vandana, I hope ppl can see through/learn more about Gate's project. However, please be careful amplifying conspiracy theorists that believe COVID was engineered by "globalists"... Sure big pharma made money, etc, but e.g. alternative vacc. pathways (Cuba) are available!
@GMWatch @JimThoma5 All patent-laden "new technologies" are presented as "solutions" to our (real/perceived) problems. They are only solutions to the issue of increasing these companies' bottom lines. Reminds me of how Crisco established itself as the cooking fat by publishing a "Crisco cookbook"
“This year Unicef banned any partnerships with ultra-processed food companies, citing “a significant reputational risk” and pointing to a “broken food system”’ Yes, but ‘broken’? Or effectively designed to benefit UPF producers?
Row over ultra-processed foods panel highlights conflicts of interest issue at heart of UK science reporting. Important to address this so 👏👏 @bmj_latest bmj.com/content/383/bm…
I haven't finished reading this piece by @JimThoma5 yet, but taking a gamble, and heartily recommending it mid-read.

@JimThoma5 @GeorgeMonbiot @csmaje Thanks for this Mr. Thomas
@csmaje @JimThoma5 This is great essay and broadly on my empirical understanding of food systems and global trade networks. I have some thoughts on why George writes likes this but the space here is not enough to expand!
George and the Food System Dragon - by Jim Thomas @JimThoma5 A superb read. The focus on high energy, and materials dependent food production is a dangerous path to follow in the coming age of limitations. Natural biological systems please.. scanthehorizon.org/p/george-and-t…
Fascinating read on the missing data, misinterpretations and lazy attacks @GeorgeMonbiot put forth in his defense of a fake food future. @JimThoma5 I would add another challenge to that plan: the clear science that links ultra processed foods to chronic disease and early death.
I have published a fairly long response to @GeorgeMonbiot recent unkind attack on @csmaje - onto two have better disagreements and why George misrepresents the food system. scanthehorizon.org/p/george-and-t…
