My bill to legalize peeling bananas has passed the house! current law made it functionally impossible to peel a banana at many daycares but seamless to open a bag of chips-my bill creates a separate class for healthy low risk foods like peeled fruit and veggies and ensures day cares aren’t punished for serving them - when laws are centered on listening to people who are most impacted by them (kids, parents and daycare workers-rather than lawyers and big corporations) we get better policy!


How it feels looking at Twitter right now... #NTE







A student organization at an American university designed to support and include a group of students has nothing to do with the Israeli government’s policy decisions. This is hateful and vile antisemitism, plain and simple. I thank @TheNewSchool admin for swiftly rejecting this action.

Muslims are reportedly outraged about this photo and say that it’s Islamophobia.

Fun fact: rapeseed oil is sold as "vegetable oil" in the UK because the original name was bad for marketing. During the Industrial Revolution, it lubricated steam engines. That was the job. In the 1950s, the FDA classified it as unfit for human consumption. The erucic acid was toxic to the heart. Banned. In the 1970s, Canadian scientists bred a low-acid variant, rebranded it "canola," and walked it onto the dinner plate. Now it's drizzled on salads, baked into bread, and labelled "heart healthy" on the bottle. Industrial lubricant. Renamed. Repositioned. Sold to the public as the responsible choice. In addition to calories, it generously provides oxidative stress, inflammation, and a steady contribution to every chronic disease the country is currently drowning in.
