I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

South Korea has just launched a HUGE universal basic income pilot focused on rural areas. Around 220,000 people will receive 150,000 won a month for two years in 7 counties.
A similar pilot in the US would cost $1 billion and provide $180 a month to all of Wyoming outside of Cheyenne and Casper.

For our good night we are sharing this great piece on the history of processed food in America. We agree with the 🧠🪱 on this - the American diet of processed foods is trash. But we don’t blame you, we blame Big Ag and Big Food who are as bad as Big Tobacco.

After 12+ years of working at the University of Birmingham in the Linguistics and Communication department, it’s time to say goodbye. I started off as a tutor in 2012 after completing my MA with the same department. Tasks and roles grew over the years and then I began my PhD with them.
