1. I've been banging on about the existential crisis facing our food system for years. But don't take it from me. Take it from the food professionals now risking their careers in an urgent and devastating warning to their own industry. Key quotes from their memo in 🧵 drive.google.com/file/d/1tATF...

'Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something,' says Trump, on the effects of tariffs. He advocated bleach for Covid. Think about it. 😱
