An interesting read

The flavour of mechanisation (11/2024, aeon.co)

Olive oil was revered and cherished by the ancients. But its distinctive peppery taste is really a modern invention

Next time you dip a piece of bread into a good olive oil, savour it for a moment, and seek that peppery flavour on the back of your tongue. It’s a flavour that conveys the presence of healthy polyphenols, and that pepperiness is a celebrated protagonist of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Today, it signifies authenticity and a connection to ancient traditions. But that very pepperiness tastes much like the advent of industrial capitalism and the creation of modern power relations in the Mediterranean world. It tastes like the growing network of global shipping routes, and the increasing rotational speed of well-lubricated industrial machinery. It’s a flavour that announced the dawn of a new world, the flavour of mechanisation.

Reminds me of somewhere (some big NE US city) that imposed soda taxes and used the money to fund education only to have the taxes work as intended and reduce soda consumption causing the education funding to fall.

A nonspeaking valedictorian with autism gives her college's commencement speech (05/2022, npr.org)

"God gave you a voice. Use it," Bonker told her fellow graduates. "And no, the irony of a nonspeaking autistic encouraging you to use your voice is not lost on me. Because if you can see the worth in me, then you can see the worth in everyone you meet."

The Ukraine War and the price of bread (03/2022, noahpinion.substack.com)

Tough times ahead

Wheat is important because it’s a staple grain, responsible for about 20% of total human calorie consumption. So that’s a big deal. But it’s worth noting that Russia and Ukraine also export a decent chunk of the world’s barley and corn. In fact, data from the International Grains Council pegs Russia and Ukraine’s combined share of total global grains trade at 24%!

Interview with Benjamin Lorr, Author of The Secret Life of Groceries (04/2021, nycfoodpolicy.org)

“It’s not that we are what we eat, but that we eat the way we are.” I believe that. Our food system, warts and all, is a reflection of our values. But I am an optimist and I believe we can change who we are. Values shift. Sometimes rapidly. That’s why I wrote the book.

Illness, Healing, and Other Terms That Can Be Confusing (11/2021, sciencebasedmedicine.org)

Watch your language. Some terms that are frequently confused: pain vs. suffering, disease vs. illness, cure vs. healing. Science-based medicine focuses on diseases; alternative medicine focuses on illness: that explains a lot.

Words matter. Improving the precision of our language should improve the clarity of our thinking.
Science-based medicine treats diseases, CAM treats illnesses. (This explains a lot!)
Healing is an elastic term that may not mean what you thought it did.
Suffering is not the same as pain. Each can occur without the other.
