Alexander J. SteinThe EU Commission moves away from its Farm to Fork strategy, the agri-food component of its previous flagship <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#policy</a>, the Green Deal; <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> considerations are no longer central. Also plans for front-of-pack nutrition <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/labelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labelling</a> are dropped… (1/x) <a href="https://uk.news.yahoo.com/eu-commission-sets-green-deal-180858137.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://uk.news.yahoo.com/eu-commission-sets-green-deal-180858137.html</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/NutriScore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NutriScore</a>

Matthew RimmerLast month, in a report looking at diabetes in Australia, a parliamentary committee recommended the country’s government introduce a sugary drinks tax. It suggested a levy “graduated according to the sugar content” on sugar-sweetened beverages should be implemented. <a href="https://www.just-drinks.com/features/australias-soft-drinks-industry-faces-fresh-calls-for-sugar-tax/?cf-view" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.just-drinks.com/features/australias-soft-drinks-industry-faces-fresh-calls-for-sugar-tax/?cf-view</a> “Obesity in Australia goes hand in hand with our diabetes epidemic and unfortunately, like diabetes, it is the most disadvantaged communities that are suffering the most,” the committee’s chair MP DR Mike Freelander said. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/healthlaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#healthlaw</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sugar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sugar</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tax</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/labelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labelling</a>

Likely Jan LukasRegardless of some challenges putting this all together, I am generally pleased with the results. (And I learned a few things that--if I were ever to redo these--might give them the professional final appearance I was hoping for.)Ironically, just the very fact that the tactile Braille characters on the labels cast shadows makes them *visually* readable now, too! 😀❤️<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Braille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Braille</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/tactility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tactility</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/labels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labels</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/labelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labelling</a>32/x

Likely Jan LukasI won't lie, affixing the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Dymotape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dymotape</a> lanels was tedious. I needed a sharp utility knife to get the backing off the adhesive side, and a pair of tweezers to hold the bare label firmly as I pulled the backing off the rest.It all came off cleanly each time, but it required a lot more force to get the backing out of the depressions made by <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/brailling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brailling</a>.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/labelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labelling</a>30/x
