The German court case about relaying orders through Germany to drones bombing Yemen has been dismissed.

Norway's national pension fund said it would divest from coal, but actually it moved the money from coal mining to coal burning (and increased it).

Another Bangladeshi secularist has received death threats.

US citizen Sharif Mobley was disappeared by the Yemeni government with US backing, then his prison was bombed by Saudi Arabia with US backing. In effect, the US has arranged to kill him.

Don't imagine that non-rich people ate healthy, home-cooked meals before the 20th century. Even in Europe, food was often lousy and insufficient, and in cities it was often some kind of fast food.

Italians often suffered from hunger until 1960, according to Delizia by John Dickie; the first place that Italians who were not rich were able to eat as they thought they should was in the US (but only for Italians who had moved there).

This fact doesn't negate the real problems of today's food system.
