A sector of the USDA has voted to form a union in a vote of 138-4. The workers in this sector are hoping that their act has a ripple effect among all government agencies.
Having privately funded studies is a recipe for disaster, as seen in this situation with #Coke only allowing positive studies to be released. The possible number of harrowing studies that have been kept out of the public's reach is... harrowing. #NYUFS19

With a very new system of farming in place, #aquaculture, humans are seeing externalities quickly. As the stocks of less valuable fish, called forage fish, are depleted, scientists are now exploring options on how to fix the problem. #NYUFS19

A new bill is being considered in #NYC for strengthening the #rights of fast food workers. If passed, this could have a ripple effect across the U.S.. One can hope, but we will have to see if it passes! #NYUFS19

A document of the creation of the most consistently delicious apple (a fact), the #Honeycrisp. This apple broke the market from being a #commodity, as they were when it was just the Red Delicious (oh no) around. #NYUFS19

The long dispute over the name of nut milks continue. The #dairy industry contends that it has deceived customers into thinking there is a nutritional equivalency between the dairy and nut milks. When will the #FDA decide the matter? #NYUFS19

This NYTimes article explores the idea that genetics are closely tied to one's eating habits. How could one, reasonably, be discriminated for their own genetics, not a fault of their own? #NYUFS19

#Soylent is trying to reframe their mission, becoming less of a replacement for food, and more a replacement for a meal. Now, they're trying to augment snacks. Be the, "six million dollar man" like the inventor feels like when they consume it. #NYUFS19
