Sometimes, as we seek answers to questions about food, we let myths guide our decisions rather than science. One example? The ingredient known as MSG, which has been around for 100 years and studied for decades. Read more in our new blog from @msmithedge. msgdish.com/msg-overcoming-t…

This is how easy this is. I asked AI to include a citation (a publication I co-authored) into a list of references for a Substack article I'm writing.
I was a bit vague: "Please include Ryan, Swarthout etal 2020 in the list".
It generated this:
Ryan, M. A., & Swarthout, J. T. (2019). The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing food security. Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, 32(2), 1-15. doi:10.1007/s10551-018-3931-2
THIS STUDY DOES NOT EXIST.

Casey, cross your fingers the cow doesn’t shit when milked.
Pasteurization: heating milk to 165F for 15 seconds to kill & inactivate microorganisms that cause illness & death.
Since we aren’t monitoring food contamination anymore, we just say they died of the grippe, right?

Lack of reliable transportation is a barrier to care across Kentucky, but Medicaid's Non-Emergency Medical Transportation system is being under-utilized. We were in Frankfort today to support HB61, which can improve #NEMT in KY. Tell your rep YES on HB61: 1.800.372.7181 #KYGA25

It's been a bad flu season so far... but it’s not too late to vaccinate! Flu season can last until May, so everyone 6 months and older should get their shot. Immunization prevents severe illness and hospitalization, even if you get sick. And if you do get sick, please stay home!

Food insecurity shouldn’t be part of a student’s journey. That's why @BigBluePantry helps @universityofky Wildcats focus on their future—not their next meal.

We’ve been made aware of a post circulating that contains offensive statements. The author of the post is not an employee at the University of Kentucky. Such statements are abhorrent and do not reflect our values as an institution. Our thoughts and concerns are with those impacted by these devastating storms. As an institution, we have many members of our community directly impacted by them and are working with them to provide support and resources at this time.
