How super is your #superfood? My latest @breakfasters story and #blogpost. With thanks to @jessloyer and @synapse101. https://t.co/f1PC0aAUbI #HealthyEating #healthy #superfoods #science #scicomm #newonmyblog

Ok, calling something a "superfood" may be a marketing tactic but that doesn't make me want to smash the delicious-looking berry bowl at the top of this story any less. Thanks @synapse101 and @jessloyer for sharing your expertise!

Three years after connecting with @vegeknight at @OxfordFoodSymp 2015 I'm pleased to share our collaboration on #superfoods culture: 'Selling the “Inca superfood”: nutritional primitivism in superfoods books and maca marketing' https://t.co/TG40NxAP1u

If you were to ever amplify my writing, I hope it would be my latest for @nursingclio. With genuine thanks to all who supported me to write back and through this. https://t.co/tOVrNVAmY4

My colleagues @NotMyKid2 and @AHardisonMoody and I have an op-ed out today about hungry kids and proposals to reform food stamps. It’s an issue I care a lot about, & I would appreciate it if you would share! @ASAnews @SocConsumption https://t.co/8RgbqKfXJd

Iron & B12 important, but beside the point. A one-size-fits-all *global* diet is the very antithesis of food cultures, knowledges, and communities. We need *more* context and diversity in food, nutrition, and ag. Not less. https://t.co/7hgqucZDHh

"The solution is not to become savvier shoppers or ask for more labels on our food." Excuse me but my friend @nmackend is on fire this week. 🔥https://t.co/osU1nomqRG

[Dr. Adele Hite @ahhite]

"Guidelines don't work because people don't follow them"? Really? But this whole discussion illustrates that MAYBE people don't follow guidelines because they don't work *for them.* #Food4Thought18

@EmilyContois @EmMcDonell @Dr_Rousseau @hiokinai @kchysmith @clairebnschtn @hannahfleblanc @Anastasia_C_Day @HalloranVivian @christyspackman Thanks for the twitter coverage - was hoping someone would tweet this panel! A topic near and dear to my heart.

[Anastasia Day, ABD @Anastasia_C_Day]

Now for a #foodstudies18 keynote in Wisc Hist Society, with @cadwego of @UCSUSA. tl:dr of talk = #scienceisnotneutral, is inherently political, cannot be objective, and has moral/ethical obligations to act upon it. YES.

[Fabio Parasecoli @FParasecoli]

The actual role of farmers in the creation of value in the food system is quite limited #foodstudies2018

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

UPDATE: 38 senators now support our legislation to prevent children being taken from their parents at the border. We’re building momentum to end this horrific practice. Please ask your senators to support us!
