Whole-food diet adherence means you really can eat much more and be well-nourished but still consume far fewer calories
Research led by scientists at the University of Bristol and co-authored by top US nutritional experts reveals that people following a completely unprocessed diet ate more than 50% greater amounts of food than those eating just UPFs (ultra-processed food), yet still consumed on average 330 fewer calories from food daily.

@… No sé si us puc preguntar per aquí, crec que pot ser útil que la conversa sigui pública.
A la nostra cooperativa estem treballant en preparar els protocols contra les violències masclistes i LGBTQ -fòbiques (inspirats en els que vosaltres teniu publicats); però ens trobem amb un parell de problemes:
- som molt poques (3) per a tenir comissions/grups especialitzades
- tenim 1 dona i 2 homes (sent tant pocs aquest des-balanç es fa més notable)
- tot i que estem conscienciades, encara no disposem de la formació adequada per a poder gestionar casos potencialment complicats
Œbviament no esperem que passi res, però si fos el cas... coneixeu alguna coope/associació/grup que puguin jugar el paper de "mediadores" en aquesta mena de conflictes (quan les cooperatives no disposen de mecanismes interns per falta de capacitat)?
Com ho solen fer altres cooperatives petites?

Good Morning #Canada
I hope you're waking up to a scrumptious smell from the kitchen because it's National Bacon Day. While you're waiting for it to finish cooking, here are some facts to salivate over:
- Canadian Bacon, aka Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon, is a Canadian invention. It's also healthier than regular bacon, with far less saturated fats
- 42% of Canadians prefer their bacon crispy while 49% enjoy it limp. I assume 9% eat it raw?
- Winnipeg, home of the Bacon Centre of Excellence, is the Bacon Capital of Canada
- Canadians consume over 50M kilos of bacon annually. I ate my 1.25 kilos this year.
- Canadian Bacon, the movie, was a box office flop, only earning $178K on a production budget of $11M
- The average weight of a pig prior to processing is 111.2 kilos
- Canadian producers exported 18.6M kilos of cured bacon and 202K kilos of back bacon
- There are over 14M hogs in Canada
- 82% of Canadians add bacon on their burgers
- Kevin Bacon is not Canadian

36.3 kWh solar output yesterday, another new record. Breaking records left and right as the weather gets nicer and the days longer.
Nowhere near enough to offset my 167 kWh daily consumption, of course, but I still managed to export 0.6 kWh of overproduction at peak.

FTC says it will appeal Meta antitrust decision
The Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday it will appeal the November ruling in favor of Meta in its antitrust case against the social media giant.

The FTC says Meta bought the significant competitive threats it identified in Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta prevailed over the existential challenge to its business that could have forced the…

American businesses and consumers absorbed nearly 90% of the 2025 tariffs’ economic burden.
The researchers weren’t working from theory: They tracked actual transaction-level import price data
and found that prices paid by U.S. importers rose nearly one-for-one with tariff rates.
These results confirm what research on the 2018-19 tariffs already established and echoes other studies of the last year.
The bottom line is that, faced with tariffs,
