Not only that, but CICO on its own terms just isn’t at all useful. It’s like saying “the cure to poverty is to make more than you spend.” Like, no shit. It’s just fully handwaving in terms of anything actionable. What are the barriers to exertion? What effect does food type have on feeling satiated? Is there a biochemical mechanism? Psychological? Social?
It’s just an absurd reduction to “personal responsibility” that seems to be the default answer to any widespread, population level problems that the speaker doesn’t really understand.
That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…
Try 60+. It’s good for your health.
Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.

Just goes to show how useless nuclear war would be for anyone… The threat is the tool.
I veto you proposal. Moving on. (/s, obviously)
I’m paywalled out of the article, but it seems like more electronics and less traditional social activities is just restating the problem. Too much ‘what’, not enough ‘why’.
It feels to me that the social isolation epidemic started well before cell phones and personal electronic devices, and that it would have more to do with larger systemic problems - things like average hours worked, pay, source of personal identity, image of success, feeling that a good life is achievable, finding activities with good value for the cost, and feeling like other people enjoy being around you.
This world we’re inhabiting feels less and less “human” and I don’t think phones caused that…
The article only left me more confused as to why or how that happened…
Very comprehensive and digestible report. I like how The Guardian and others are adapting to online news with the multimedia format.
I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their ‘flaws’ give them.
Israel is slowly losing the support it needs to get away with this genocide…
