Tucked into the freezer of your local health food store is a brand of products called Tofutti, a range of soy-based dairy-free alternative foods.

A series of random questions answered by Harvard experts. Uma Naidoo is an instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the author of the books “This Is Your Brain on Food” and “Calm Your Mind with Food.” We asked her why we experience junk food cravings and how we can stop them. If we think about food through an evolutionary lens, our ancestors lived in environments where food was scarce, and therefore energy-dense foods that were high in calories, fat, and sugar were valuable for survival.

And in her policy plan, she has explicitly promised to “never allow a national abortion ban to become law.” No wonder several reproductive-rights orgs (like Reproductive Freedom for All and Emily’s List)…

EU officials are now portraying genocide enabler Ursula von der Leyen as a champion of peace. (Dati Bendo / European Union)   As Gaza starved, the European Union decided to finance an Israeli project on binge-eating. That fact says everything about the priorities of the Brussels bureaucracy and how it has continued cooperating with a state carrying out a genocide. The binge-eating project is coordinated by the Weizmann Institute of Science. It is among the recipients of more than 150 grants to Israel which Brussels officials have signed since the exterminationist war on Gaza was declared in October last year. I…

9 September 2024 The Eating Disorders Alliance (EDA) has expressed significant concerns over recent advice published by the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) regarding the “normalisation of collection and discussion of height and weight data of all children” that encourages nurse-led interventions at a school level to combat childhood obesity.
