Peter Rukavina is working on changing his life by doing eight critical things each day. I reckon that's too many. If I get three done, I count that as a win. Maybe I need to trim my idea what constitutes a thing.
@b_pritchard Absolutely appalling. Whatever happened to the nationalist promise of being better able to feed its citizens? There can be no excuse for an increase in stunting these days.

@BBCFoodProg Given that more than 50% of food consumed in the UK is imported (more for fruit and veg), have any of the medical associations said anything public about UK food policy over the next few years? Should medical students be visiting Australia, not Oxfordshire?
@herdyshepherd1 The pain for British farmers is real. However, outsourcing British food production to the rest of the world is nothing new. The deal is a return to the good old days of Empire, just like, er, Brexit.

"[T]he toad, unlike the skylark and the primrose, has never had much of a boost from poets."
I don't doubt that medical software is bad and that doctors have good cause to complain. But in a fight to the death, I suspect software for human resources or for teachers might be even worse.
It's fun to see someone have their world view shot to hell. There are two things going on here. One is that time is a good substitute for energy when it comes to developing gluten. The other is that time develops flavour, even from a teeny amount of leaven.
I assume you already know about Craig Mod and his very interesting, and very well-documented, long walks through Japan.
@theRSAorg I am so disappointed that beyond lip service in the intro there was absolutely no further mention of trade in global food commodities. Even a brief acknowledgement of Brewster Kneen's pioneering efforts to shine a light on Cargill would have added immeasurably.
@GeoffTansey Thanks for the link to the UNCTAD report on cashews. I've not yet read it, but I wonder whether it details the World Bank's role in destroying Mozambique's cashew processing industry?
I did an episode about this a while back https://www.eatthispodcast.com/cashews/
