@lijukic @AnFearBui Ultra processed foods is a broad, artificial construction. Pie, cookies, and sausage are all ultra-processed foods. This pretty much explains the north-south divide. I strongly suspect a butcher’s blood pudding is far better for you than “baloney” in plastic.

Little known fact, Reynor Banhem wrote an article called "Cook Yo'Self" in 1964 in which he proposed a self-contained pressure cooker-cum-hot tub as a way of making meals fast. Here is one he produced with Francis Dallenerd from the pages of AD.

@CristinaGoberna 1/2 of architecture students don’t stay architects ten years later. I have long believed that schools should acknowledge this and find ways to incorporate those lessons into the curriculum. Schools think it would make them look bad but not acknowledging it makes schools weak.
