Does anyone know what happened to The Prince's Charities International Sustainability Unit? Did it turn out to be, er, unsustainable? Or something else?

Step aside 75%, which achieved mythic status as the amount of genetic diversity lost since ~1903. The new not number is "almost 80%", the proportion of studies in a global meta-analysis that found evidence of some genetic erosion. I hope that's clear.

15 years ago today I wrote enthusiastically about @Mann_Library @Cornell gathering up great graphics to share and inspire.

The old website remains at https://web.archive.org/web/20170719024829/http://martha.mannlib.cornell.edu/charts/ but where are the original submissions and what happened to the project?

Hey, @FAOstatistics! http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#home has been unreachable for more than 24 hours. What's up?

Really Tonz, you shouldn't be meddling in this stuff. I'm just going to leave this here: https://agro.biodiver.se/2009/05/nix-that-fruit-it-really-is-a-vegetable/

Maybe it is because I had already noted a Washington Post piece about "real" food people ignoring the Magnolia cookbook, but I found Grant McCracken's piece about Martha Stewart doing the same so trenchant and also so sad. http://web.archive.org/web/20190514114829/https://medium.com/@grant27/martha-stewart-the-old-guard-d...

Kudos to @rosenblawg and Bryce Stucki for prompting the first ever retraction and correction by CDC http://retractionwatch.com/2018/11/15/in-a-first-u-s-cdc-retracts-replaces-study-about-suicide-risk-...

Gérard Rubaud has died. A great pioneer baker. Sad news.

I could extract quote after quote from Colin Tudge's latest essay on agriculture, at http://www.campaignforrealfarming.org/2018/10/why-wont-the-powers-that-be-take-agriculture-seriously... but it would undermine the whole, just as a steak undermines a whole cow or an organic loaf of bread undermines the fertility-building beans needed to produce it. Just go read.

Another reason to love RSS (or feeds in general). Actually, the same reason. After about four years of inactivity, a site I like springs back to life and I don't need to do anything to find out. http://www.wildyeastblog.com/

Didn’t Jesus say “no guacamole for immigrant haters”? I don't think he did, but maybe he should have.

Read it and weep (tears of joy). Bonnie Ohara of Alchemy Bread tells some of the story of her home-baking operation and how she has helped to create and nourish her local community. http://www.alchemybread.com/blog/2018/1/8/a60p0pdh15xudsrj7wu0qar0s8ix82

Colin Tudge explains the crucial difference between @OFRC and @oxfordfarming. The R stands for Real, and also for Radical. Start from what you want, then work out how do do it. http://www.campaignforrealfarming.org/2017/11/why-the-oxford-real-farming-conference-is-distinct-and...

Using [Quill](http://quillp3k.io) gives me the option to create a new post as a reply. Again, my useless brain cannot remember whether Quill speaks Markdown. And currently, the bookmark opens in the same window, which means I have to remember to copy the URL I want to reply to.

Seconds later: ... Nope, Quill does not speak Markdown.

Hey @GrassBased checking old links, found your site either hacked or abandoned. Would love to see this graph again http://blog.sethroberts.net/2013/09/01/the-irrelevance-of-grass-fed-beef-ancestral-health-symposium-...

Interesting conversation with @_amanda_j_lee about food prices and nutrition in Australia http://www.eatthispodcast.com/australia-where-healthier-diets-are-cheaper

Time Magazine offers its "Best Podcasts 2017" and it is absolutely as dull as you might imagine it would be. These people need to get out more. http://time.com/4709592/best-podcasts-2017

Just for fun, I marked up my recipe for cornbread with syntactic tags that I hope meet the h-recipe spec. Not sure why. http://www.fornacalia.com/2017/cornbread-for-fornacalia
