Seeds and beyond: Native Americans embrace ‘food sovereignty’
Christian Science Monitor Richard Mertens 2/22/21
For many Native Americans, the return to traditional foods is part of a wider effort to “decolonize” their people, a way to repair the economic and cultural damage inflicted by European Americans who drove them from their lands, confined them to reservations, sent them to boarding schools, and tried to sever them from their old ways. It means not just planting old seeds but reviving the economic and cultural life, the ceremonies, the customs and beliefs, around food and food production.
Myth-busting study shows controversial seed oils reduce inflammation
by American Society for Nutrition 21/6/25 ScienceDaily
A new study is turning heads by challenging the popular belief that seed oils are harmful to health. Researchers analyzed blood markers from nearly 1,900 people and found that higher levels of linoleic acid — an omega-6 fat commonly found in seed oils — were linked to lower inflammation and better cardiometabolic health. The study used direct biomarkers instead of diet surveys, making its findings more robust. These results support a growing body of evidence that seed oils, far from fueling disease, may actually help protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Never eat straight from the bag, but portion out an appropriate serving and put the container away before you start snacking. Avoid snacks that list sugar as one of the first few ingredients. Nuts are a healthy snack, but the serving size is small, so if you snack straight from the bag, it is very easy to eat too many calories.

Fruit and veg snacks are always the best choice, but if the kids are having packaged snacks, just remember to aim for 2 a day max.
