The new food pyramid is lying to you It’s also a contradictory mess.

Some early takes said the new food guidelines weren't too bad, but you always gotta dig deeper to really understand what MAHA is doing. So much going on here is chaos but most notably the new guidance makes an aggressive turn toward centering animal-based foods

@klingebeil.bsky.social: “Journalism risks becoming endlessly malleable, shaped to fit yet another set of companies’ platforms, metrics, and algorithms rather than public needs.”

I’m the daughter of a cattle rancher. Could I ever ditch beef? Beef is tied to my cultural identity — because of its complicated, colonial history.

beneath the romanticization of cowboys and vaqueros is a system that takes advantage of these icons to sell something lesser back to us. it’s hard reanalyzing something i’ve thrown so much identity behind. read the piece and tell me what you think:

For a long time, I thought ditching beef would mean missing out on some grand connection I'd gain at the table. For @vox.com, I wrote about reconnecting with Indigenous foodways, while also acknowledge the cultural pull of beef — as a Texan. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
