I don’t understand the possible solution this article describes. Educating people is trumped by the fact hunger exacerbates unhealthy eating. So not having people in a vulnerable, very hungry state is key to having them consider healthy options.
This has been my experience when using Zepbound, one of the new-ish weight loss drugs. Since I am not hungry all the time or having strong cravings, I think much more carefully about what I eat and how much. “I can only eat this much, so I better eat something with protein/fiber.” Before I would not feel sated until I gave into a craving.
Downside though is that sometimes I end up “wanting to want.” Like, having a date night with the wife, social gatherings with food, or just the occasional indulgence.
I liked the book "the glucose revolution" which describes how blood sugar affects you, and some hacks to manage it.
If your blood sugar spikes, it will eventually crash, making you tired, irritable, think unclearly and have strong cravings.
If you manage your blood sugar to even it out, you'll have even energy levels, clear thinking and won't be hungry.
there were a few easy ways to do this. Walking 10 minutes after eating. Switching the order of food in a meal to start out with fiber, add protein and fat and eat carbs towards the end. not eating carbs alone. lots of other things.
For starters, awareness of not letting yourself get so hungry in the first place before eating something? Tons of people in my own life push off eating until they're starving and then just grab the most convenient option. They aren't in an economically vulnerable position, It's self inflicted.
They seemingly spent the last 20 years actively figuring out ways not to make money. It's a terrible shame. They coast on the memories of yesteryear - a shell of their former selves.
And then proceeded to lay off the Rust team and force it out on its own. That probably worked out for the best in the end, but they don't get to claim credit for Rust's subsequent successes.
Perhaps - but Jetbrains pulled in over $400MM USD in revenue in 2021[1]. Jetbrains now even offers a Rust IDE.
Besides - what were Mozilla's actual goals? Find ways to not make money?
People would throw money at a competent, coherent, privacy-centric, non-Microsoft collaborative office suite. Mozilla had Thunderbird, messaging apps, file sharing apps, etc - and somehow never got organized enough to form a single coherent strategy that would make money. Instead they were all one-off half-baked products that were DOA.
It's dumbfounding. GSuite did so well because it's not Microsoft. Today we have many offerings, from Zimbra to Zoho and more - just imagine what someone with Mozilla's reputation and morals could have done for SMB's in this space, before anyone else moved?
Good catch. Unfortunately my RSS app isn’t displaying the feed. First time I’ve ever encountered this. I’ve reached out to Unread app developer to see if there’s a fix.
LOL. I had Unread’s developer communicating with me via email. He was trying to help me troubleshoot for a day when all of a sudden magically the articles appeared. Haha. I mentioned to him maybe you saw my comment, before I saw your message. So funny. Anyways, thank you as I really wanted to follow your blog. Much appreciated.
