Writer - Death By Diabetes: America's Preventable Epidemic

[Neil Barsky @nsbarsky]

Here's my San Quentin TedX talk: about my dad, our shameful criminal justice system and @MarshallProj's creation. https://t.co/STAC9OTByb

[Vital City @VitalCityNYC]

Three years ago, Vital City launched as a small experiment: Could New Yorkers come together around calm, evidence-based ideas in a noisy, hyperpartisan moment?

The answer was a resounding yes.

Here’s what we achieved together just this year. 👇

Type 2 diabetes is not a chronic, progressive
disease — it’s a reversible metabolic disorder rooted in
chronically elevated insulin levels driven by excessive
carbohydrate intake. #type2diabetes

[American Diabetes Society @OfficialADSOrg]

Low-carb isn’t punishment. It’s peace.

Food freedom is when you’re not ruled by cravings anymore.

My latest on our new mayor and the business community that is so terrified of him.

“What about the elephant in the room, Mr. Mamdani’s call for higher taxes on the wealthy? I believe high taxes on high earners are the price we pay for living in a democracy that allows individuals to earn millions while benefiting from a tax code that favors capital over labor.”

My pal @nsbarsky speaking pragmatic truth to power in the NYT today!

Mamdani believes in a robust public sector that does more things, and higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations to pay for it. There’s a serious conversation to be had about whether this is a good idea. But it’s no threat to New York capitalism itself. We already have a really active public sector alongside a dynamic private economy: parks, public hospitals, public housing, pre-K, schools, public $ for private schools, more. High taxes, big budget. Public childcare and free buses are differences in degree, not in kind.

In honor of election day, this was published (not by me!) this morning. Still relevant, I think!

This is a great rebuttal to a silly paper. Nice work, Nick.

@StreamOnMax HI FRANK - CAN U PLS FOLLOW ME? WANT TO SEND U MESSAGE. THANK YOU!

I treasure the NYT, but this is bad journalism. I have to ask: was it written by the seed oil industry?

I want a future in which those who seek to exploit immigrants are the ones who are afraid of law enforcement, not the victims. We can build a fair and level playing field for American workers by passing a path to legal status — or we can crash the economy with mass deportations.

[Sal Albanese @SalAlbaneseNYC]

It’s hysterical @NYCCouncil & @NYCMayor touting as a major achievement building 80,000 homes over 15 years. Koch built 400,000 in a significantly shorter period.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Last year, Coca-Cola spent $327 million on advertising in the U.S. while it raked in $9.5 billion in profits.

Not one of their ads will tell you that a 20oz bottle of Coke contains more than 15 teaspoons of sugar.

It’s time to take on the greed of the food & beverage industry.

[Neil Barsky @nsbarsky]

A morning breath of fresh air.

There’s something to be said for honest, smart public officials wanting to serve our city.

[Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie 麥瑞 @zellnor4ny]

It’s official: I’m running for Mayor of New York City — because we need to Rebuild NYC.

Rebuild NYC is a mandate for one million homes — because either we bring down the cost of housing, or we continue to lose New Yorkers. And I don’t know about you, but I’m not leaving.

[Neil Barsky @nsbarsky]

I agree!

How about advocating for a low-carb/keto diet for reversing Type 2 Diabetes?

[Virta Health @virtahealth]

@nsbarsky @nsbarsky 💯 Proper nutrition is THE building block to a healthy lifestyle and core to reversing diseases like diabetes and obesity. Any focus on putting nutrition at the forefront is a win. @samiinkinen

"Hear me out: #RFKJr could be a transformational health secretary," says @MarshallProj founder @nsbarsky

#RFK articulates what Democrat and Republican leaders largely ignore: our healthcare system is a national disgrace hiding in plain sight
