As we bring in the #NewYear we need to remember our essential workers. #Farmers are dealing with so much, and on top of everything, can’t even fix their own equipment the way they want to. Read more about it in my article below.

Saying @Simone_Biles let down @USAGym team because they WON a SILVER (!) at the #Olympics completely diminishes the hard work and talent of the entire team. Those girls worked HARD. Harder than most could imagine. Way to go @TeamUSA and go #Simone for putting yourself first!
#Covid_19 is affecting all of these issues just as each of them affects the other. The need for redesigning approaches to solving these issues is more important now than ever. #FoodSystems
The Global Syndemic: #climatechange, #obesity, and #undernutrition. All co-occuring in the same time and place. What's Driving it? Food & Ag, Transportation, Urban Design, and Land Use. We need to start thinking about common systemic drivers that need common action!
The #LGBTQIA community is silently suffering due to #COVID19 ; almost a year has passed since the beginning of the pandemic and we are just starting to see these numbers. We need more researchers looking into these communities to drive meaningful change!

No surprise here. This #Christmas especially, I've been #shoppingsmall & local and really aligning my personal views with my shopping habits. These businesses need our help. Meet the owners, talk to them, and listen to them! ❤️#smallbusiness

Maryland’s ban on styrofoam food and beverage packaging has gone into effect, making it the first state in the United States to prohibit the use of the containers.

With @EPA saying EPS packaging can have serious impacts upon human health, wildlife, and aquatic environment, and the economy, Maryland officially bans foam packaging in the food industry. https://t.co/SCFNW5fNSZ via @foodtank#Food#Foodsystems#COVID#climatechange#Maryland
Tomorrow is the day! @foodtank first virtual summit! There are amazing speakers lined up, and now more than ever we need to listen and learn about solutions for the future. I cannot wait to watch! Did I mention it’s FREE?!?! #FoodSystems#food#nyufa20#flfa20#covid19
Wow wow wow!! Look at this lineup! “Resetting the Food System” @foodtank’s virtual summit is on December 1! The summits are always incredible so I can’t wait to see what’s in store! Check it out below! #nyufa20#FoodSystems#foodstudies#food
Look at my new beauties! I cant wait to do some much needed relaxing reading over the break. I’m exhausted at the moment, but these people keep me going! @EmilyContois@John_Birdsall@tomphilpott they’re so pretty I don’t know which to read first! #food#FoodSystems#bookstoread
Took a break from Twitter this past week for #mentalhealth! It was tempting to see what everyone was saying but peace of mind was definitely necessary. I spent a lot of time cleaning, organizing, and cooking! #nyufa20 & #flfa20, what did you all do for #election anxiety?
I celebrated after work on Saturday once @JoeBiden was announced the projected winner. But my fellow #NYC people! We still need to take precaution against #COVID19. Winter is coming, #flu season is coming, and we can’t afford another big lockdown. #nyufa20! Wear that mask!
BREAKING: For first time, NYC Dept. of Health starts posting real-time data on covid positivity rates by zip code.
Shows rising citywide spread. 86 zip codes averaging over 2% over past 7 days.
This is NYC's 2nd wave. NYers need to rally again to flatten our curve.
Tomorrow is the LAST day to #VOTE! Make sure you have a plan if you are voting tomorrow! Bring snacks, bring supplies, be patient, and be KIND! #NYC will be crazy so be prepared! I gave out some granola bars to people waiting in line the other day. It goes a long way! #NYUFA20
“It’s like somebody has been sitting on a pile of good ideas about how to think about the food system and obesity. They grabbed the moment and it’s very admirable.”
Great piece by Sean Taylor (@glutton_free_) for @foodtank.

I am seeing so much fear and anxiety about #Elections2020 coming for people my age! This election is very very important for countless reasons and next week is going to be tough for many people. Please #VOTE! And be kind to one another. #nyufa20

I am at a loss for words. My heart is with my fellow #LGBTQIA members in Texas. People are afraid of what they don’t understand and it shows. You don’t know me or my abilities based on my sexual orientation, and you sure as hell don’t have a right to judge me for it.
A new Texas rule, recommended by Gov. Greg Abbott’s office, will no longer prohibit social workers from turning away clients on the basis of disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. https://t.co/otsrCuEbpv
