That 3pm crash, the bloating, sleep that never feels quite enough. Low-grade inflammation rarely hurts, so most people don’t notice it.

Yet worldwide, 3 in 5 people die from diseases linked to chronic inflammation, including stroke, heart disease and diabetes.

None of these eight habits needs a supplement and five of them cost nothing. They come from Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, a certified gastroenterologist and adjunct professor at Emory University School of Medicine.

Everyone’s counting protein, but nobody’s counting fibre—and fibre is the one we’re all actually running short on.

What it does: steadies blood sugar, pulls cholesterol out, feeds your gut bacteria, keeps you full till the next meal, and lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and colorectal cancer.

How to use this guide: one ingredient from each box, across the day; aim for 25g or more.

Cheap eggs, meat and milk are cheap for a reason. Around 3 in 4 farm animals are raised in cramped indoor spaces, as cheaply as possible—that’s factory farming.

Every tool in this post keeps those costs down, and it’s also why factory farming is the biggest source of animal cruelty in the world.

Opting out of this system is as easy as ordering the tofu with your rice or soy milk with your coffee whenever you can. 🌱

Everyone’s feed turned 1987 these last few weeks, and the comments filled up with people working out what an AI photo costs the planet.

Farming animals for food has been costing far more, for decades, but it has never trended. Protein for protein, one beef meal costs about fifteen tofu ones, or thirty of dal.

If the planet’s on your mind, using less AI and eating more plant-based meals both count. 💚

This month we’re taking over the activism corner at Frisson, and our exhibit is called Food for Thought. 🌍

Come through and have a look at how the food we eat shapes the planet, and the animals caught up in it.

As part of this, the talented Natasha Noor 🪲 has generously hand-painted six one-of-a-kind farm animals for us. They’ll be up for grabs on the day, so take one home, and every cent goes straight to furryfriendsfarm.

A huge thanks to even if. — a community of music lovers who spotlight a different cause every month at Frisson. We’re so happy to be part of Frisson Vol. 5.

Frisson · 19 September · Tickets drop soon on even if.’s page 🐐

See you there!

You don’t need the news to tell you something’s changing; you can feel it. The heat that won’t let up, rivers running dry, air too thick to head outside. This is a glimpse of what everyday life could feel like if nothing shifts.

That feeling is worth more than any fact or figure you’ve been shown in years. So if it’s making you want to do something, here’s where to start.
