Hello fediverse!
I am a #neurodivergent f/56/Amsterdam and #NewHere. I like to read #books, write blogs, watch series and play #vinyl.
I have wandered virtual worlds since #UltimaOnline and still whisper Kal Ort Por when I want to leave a room. Now I am in #BDO, #FFXIV, #ESO, #GW2 and #WoW with #Linux under the hood.
I make my own yoghurt, eat organic and avoid both #BigFood and #BigTech. I also founded Rebellicious, a European community for older gamers since 2016.
Two years on from The False Economy of Big Food report, the UK’s food system remains locked in a costly contradiction. Unhealthy diets now account for almost £300 billion a year in health, social and economic costs. Yet making a healthy diet affordable would require a fraction of that sum.
New evidence suggests that, despite welcome steps towards prevention, the false economy of #BigFood is getting bigger.
#VuelveYJuega | Daniel Briceño, representante a la Cámara por el Centro Democrático, y Carol Borda, representante de Salvación Nacional, llegaron al Congreso con una propuesta que promete aliviar el bolsillo de los “pequeños comerciantes”: eliminar los llamados impuestos saludables en Colombia.

"The fact is we need to stop eating UPFs in any significant amount, just as we need to leave oil in the ground and give up smoking. The more the public realises that, the greater the industry’s need to keep marketing to us and block any government attempts to help us make better choices"

🍔🌽 Big Food vs. the People: Yet another #exposé on how corporate giants are stuffing us like turkeys, dripping in more recycled #outrage than a vegan potluck. Meanwhile, the article's format is like a buffet of #buzzwords and links nobody will ever click. 🙄📊

🧪 On February 26, 2026, Kennedy said "by the end of this year, all nine petroleum-based synthetic food dyes will be gone."
The FDA's own tracking page now says 2027. No formal rulemaking filed for Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, or any of the six most-used dyes. Many of the same companies making voluntary pledges funded the lobby coalition trying to kill state enforcement.

Es ist lieb, dass ihr mir ermutigende Nachrichten schickt, aber mindestens 97,32% von euch überschätzen meine Technik-Kompetenz stark!
Weitere 2,54% überschätzen sie leicht.
Ich habe von der Technik keine Ahnung und will im Übrigen nur nicht, dass jemand liest, welche Haarpflegetipps und Rezepte ich mit meinen Schwestern bespreche ehe Market Rollout ist. In der Soße meiner Mama steckt Millionenpotential 💰und ich krieg 16,66% Prozent wenn #BigFood das Buyout macht. #TradeSecrets🤫

‘That’s evil!’: Jillian Michaels shocks Glenn Beck with latest Big Food betrayal
The relationship between #BigTobacco, #Bigfood and the #HealthcareIndustry:
Ultra-processed foods are designed to make us addicted, so they can sell more. We get sick because of low quality food that in its turn, provides the booming healthcare industry with a steady stream of ever higher profits. ☠️
Are you angry yet?

Great article on the state of organic certifiers (tl;dr .. they aren't all equal).
BTW .. OrganicEye is a wonderful organization. From their website .."We monitor the increasingly corrupt relationship between corporate agribusiness and government regulators that has eroded the working definition of organics."

Fascinating podcast from Lever News on how companies like $KLG manipulate consumers through addiction, just like Big Tobacco before them.
Same tactics, same harm.

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm just wondering whether industrially-produced, edible substances, #ultraprocessedfood, has anything to do with this. #bigfood makes billions marketing 'food' that makes everybody who lives off it sick - obese & malnourished. For sure they have powerful lobbying to governments.
@karelbrits Goeie samenvatting van wat er momenteel mis is in de politieke (!) economie. Iedere ‘pro kapitalisme’ kiezer zou dit moeten zien. Maar zelf kan je er ook wat mee: steun kleine (MKB) ondernemingen, zowel door niet te kopen bij #bigTech #bigAgro #bigFood #bigPharma en #bigFinance, als er niet voor te gaan werken.
