Health and sustainability are inextricably linked. Sick humans on a healthy planet are not more sustainable than healthy humans on a sick planet.
I applaud WeWork’s commitment to the environment. Climate Change is a threat to human health.
Unfortunately, becoming meat free for employees is not the most effective or science-based way to support this commitment.
At the same time that meat is not being catered by corporate events, there are copious quantities of insulinogenic and diabetogenic foods served and promoted within the premises. From a science perspective, the carbon emissions from agriculture in the United States are 10% of the total. The carbon emissions from health care in the United States are 10% of the total.
A population struggling to prevent insulin resistance (up by 41% in Washington, DC, 76% Nationally, 1.67 million people in MD/VA/DC have pre-diabetes or undiagnosed diabetes, most don’t know it) will create a most unsustainable environment for all, through increased use of pharmaceuticals and associated health care. See this image to see what happens to humans when they ingest these foods: www.flickr.com/photos/taedc/28943375057/
It’s estimated that the use of $200/month of pharmaceuticals equals the offset from going completely vegan in 1 year. Same for taking one (1) transcontinental flight.
A better, more science-based approach, is to implement a sustainable food policy that incorporates health and the environment together.

I drove to VideoTex in Dallas today to pick up a loaner Panasonic EVA1. The guys there were all really nice. They even threw in a Canon 85mm cine lens! I went straight from there to BuzzShift. Eddy gave me the grand tour of their new office–also in a DIFFERENT WeWork building. The whole team seems way happier now that they’ve gotten a little jump start again. One of the weirdest parts of the tour was this rooftop courtyard, which is actually completely fake. Apparently, people in the adjacent buildings complained about having to look out at a gross rooftop, so they built this fake courtyard that nobody can even access. So weird.
Back in Denton, Ranjani and I did a little recon at the DIME Store. She’d never been, and I wanted to check out their setup for lighting across the ceiling. They have little bent-up paperclips in the ceiling tiles that they use to hang holiday lights. It looks good! We should definitely do that in the café.
The FCC repealed Net Neutrality today like a big bunch douchebags.
