Links of the week
- Psychology’s Replication Crisis Is Running Out of Excuses – Sadly it’s looking like we know less and less about psychology than we thought we did, as many hallmark studies are having trouble being replicated by other groups. This article does a nice job of explaining the issue and gives some reasons to be optimistic. (The Atlantic)
- Scott Pruitt’s Environmental Rollbacks Stumbled in Court. His Successor Is More Thorough. – Heads up for US voters. The EPA is being dramatically weakened from the inside out. I can’t imagine a worse time in history for this to happen. (NY Times)
- Does cutting carbs really help keep weight off? The big new diet study, explained. – Interesting update and balanced explanation of the status of the science. Of course, you personally should focus more on what works for you and generally minimize the processed foods you’re exposed to. (Vox)
- The spin instructor’s ‘love yourself’ approach didn’t motivate her. So what would? – There are different types of motivation. Which works best for you? (Washington Post)
- How the mushroom dream of a ‘long-haired hippie’ could help save the world’s bees – Very cool. I hope he’s right. (Seattle Times)
- Should you eat a low-gluten diet? – Interesting new data suggests that eating GF may help with digestion, but not because of the lack of gluten so much as the different kinds of fiber you’re eating. (ScienceDaily)
- How Meditation Might Help Your Winter Workouts – I’m not terribly surprised by this association, as mindfulness is one of the most important ingredients in making harder, value-based choices. (NY Times)
- Workers Fear Injury as Administration Clears Way for Faster Chicken Slaughter – It’s well known that increasing the speed of industrial meat processing lines is a huge risk factor for worker injury. It’s sad to see the progress made in the past few decades being undone. (Civil Eats)
- Let picky eaters play with their food, and don’t force ‘thank you’ tastes – The latest suggestion is to stop pushing your kids to be less picky, but instead focus on setting up a more positive dining experience. Sounds more pleasant for everyone. (Washington Post)
- Just Months of American Life Change the Microbiome – Fascinating. (The Atlantic)
- Are You Sitting Down? Standing Desks Are Overrated – A bit more nuance on the science here. (NY Times)
- TOMATO FENNEL & WHITE BEAN STEW – Some of my favorite flavors. (Dishing Up the Dirt)

While most of us are already clued in to how beneficial meditation can be, many are still resistant to the practice. The thought of sitting still for a period of time feels daunting, unexciting, and quite frankly, like a waste of time. But what if you could achieve the benefits meditation offers without having to sit? What if you could do something else — and get a quiet mind at the same time? By using the breath to connect to the body in movement, a meditative state can be attained. In other words, you don’t have to be still to…

- There’s Tremendous Human Suffering Behind Our Food. It’s Time to End It. – Extremely important. (Civil Eats)
- How Long Can We Live? The Limit Hasn’t Been Reached, Study Finds – We’ve already doubled our lifespans in the past 200 years. What does the future hold? (NY Times)
- Writing away the body image blues – Fascinating. I know writing has proven an effective therapy for many psychological complaints, but this is the first time I’ve seen it applied to body image. Will be interesting to see where this research goes. (ScienceDaily)
- Mindful movement may help lower stress, anxiety – Don’t have time to exercise and meditate? Try doing both at the same time. (ScienceDaily)
- Want to stop craving chocolate? Here are two options. – I dislike this headline, but I do like the article. In my experience it is very difficult to stop cravings (unless you are undernourished, in which case eating more can help immensely). The real question is: how can you stop taking your cravings for junk foods so damned seriously and make the better decision more often than not? It’s nice to have a couple of different tricks up your sleeve. (Washington Post)
- Beyond genetics: Lifestyle choices to slow the aging process – Good advice. (Washington Post)

Links of the week
- Cod and ‘Immune Broth’: California Tests Food as Medicine – Wow, I would absolutely love to see more of this. Medicine is wonderful, but there is no doubt that a better nourished body will be better at healing itself. (NY Times)
- These Farmers Switched to Organic After Pesticides Made Their Families Sick – Turns out being healthy is more important than money sometimes. (Civil Eats)
- Trans Fats Should be Eliminated Worldwide by 2023, W.H.O. Says – So good to hear. This is also a good reminder that replacing animal products with plant products isn’t always an improvement health-wise. (NY Times)
- Salmonella sickens nearly three dozen people amid recall of more than 200 million eggs – TWO HUNDRED MILLION EGGS. FFS I’m tired of writing about food poisoning. (Washington Post)
- G.M.O. Foods Will Soon Require Labels. What Will the Labels Say? – Nice summary of what does and doesn’t qualify for labeling under the new rules. It’s more lax than I expected, especially as someone who cares about the environmental impact more than eating altered DNA (what a weird standard, right?). Still, it’s progress. (NY Times)
- It seems like every fruit and vegetable is being snack-ified. But are these chips healthy? – Is it better to buy alternative “veggie chips” than potato chips? I hope this is obvious to most longtime readers at this point, but it’s a nice reminder. (Washington Post)
- Who Are You Calling Normal? – Love this perspective on where your attributes and behavior stand compared to the population. Hint: It changes, so don’t freak out about it. (Scientific American)
- A Classic Indian Cookbook Returns, This Time for Americans – I had no idea that Salman Rushdie’s sister had a cult cookbook. Ordered obvs. (NY Times)
- The Yogi masters were right — meditation and breathing exercises can sharpen your mind – This headline is overly bold, not a ton can be concluded from this research. But it’s interesting and I hope it spurs further exploration. (ScienceDaily)
- Ultimate Loaded Hummus – When I was growing up I think “loaded” meant something different, but I love the idea of hummus as a meal. Yum. (Yummy Beet)
