Mingas por el mar/Proyecto de grupo 4 (11 de febrero de 2023)

La actividad CAS planificada para el mes de febrero estuvo organizada de tal forma en que no solo cumpliera con una de las siglas de la asignatura (Creatividad, Actividad y Servicio), sino que también de tal manera en que, por medio de esta expedición, pudiéramos nutrirnos de datos e información útiles para la propuesta del proyecto de grupo 4 que se realiza como parte del PD.

El día de la actividad partimos de la institución a la ubicación en Posorja, Vía Data -donde se nos había indicado que sería la minga- y, una vez arribamos al lugar se nos explicó como se realizaría la distribución de la limpieza de las áreas de la playa. Una vez finalizada la recolección de desechos en la playa, juntamos las bolsas para que estas sean recogidas por las personas responsables de llevarlas a los sitios de separación y clasificación.

(Tras pasar un par de semanas se nos informaría que recolectamos 122 kilos de desechos que, en su mayoría, eran plásticos)

Al culminar aquella etapa comenzamos a realizar lo planificado en cuanto al proyecto de grupo 4. En mi caso, tuve que, junto mis compañeros de grupo, Tomás Bedoya y Adriano Mora, recoger muestras de arena seca y arena mojada de la playa para así medir la cantidad de microplásticos que hay en cada tipo de arena.

Desde que nos comentaron la idea me sentí emocionada por ser parte de esta experiencia, puesto que siempre había querido formar parte de una minga pero nunca había averiguado demasiado al respecto. Una vez allí mantuve el espíritu de predisposición y entusiasmo por ayudar en lo que sea posible, pero, una vez se terminó el trabajo, la alegría de poder compartir con mis compañeros fuera del ámbito académico resultó ser superior a todo. En la jornada de regreso el cansancio se hizo cada vez más evidente, pero el total de la experiencia hizo que todo haya valido la pena.

I was thinking abt the scenario of sharing spicy pics w another person (as u do) which got me thinking abt sharing pics of myself in general & I'm like . well when I was a kid I was unfortunately very fine with it (in spaces I felt comfortable enough in) but I think since like mid teenhood it's always been so terrifying for me..

like on the one hand I hate to be so secretive bc I feel like part of it is my dissociation & trying to have ppl view of me be only my sonas Doesn't help w that (or maybe it does! it certainly makes me feel Less Shitty abt existing so shrug) but also. y'know actually I think it's mostly the dissociation. hm :♡

Hi, I share your strong pro-medicine, pro-vaccines, anti-woo beliefs. I also have chronic digestive issues and insurance that won’t cover the useful specialists. The gastroenterologists I’ve encountered are helpful for making sure my insides look okay but they don’t seem to have much training around nutrition and food science. Nutritionists are unlicensed and I find them about as trustworthy as chiropractors, and I can’t get insurance to cover a registered dietician. The internet is saturated with pseudoscience junk and “miracle cures”, and in moments of desperation I’ve fallen for some of them. Luckily I haven’t been harmed by anything so far, but I don’t think they helped much either.

I was wondering if you or your followers have any resources on IBS and/or GERD that are scientifically sound and written for a general audience? Or advice for identifying when pop-sci-style “food science” articles are a scam?

I deeply regret to inform you that I was so annoyed by this exact problem that I literally went back to school to start working on getting a degree in nutrition and got two and a half years into a second bachelor's degree before realizing I wouldn't be able to get into any programs in my area that I could afford because the local state schools aren't accepting second bachelor's applicants. (Cal State Chico, I love you and you are too far away, it's not meant to be)

Nutrition information online is completely infested with woo and I am hesitant to point people toward one of the good resources I used to reference because it is politically batshit.

If you are looking at a food science article on the internet and are trying to figure out if it's a scam the big red flags to look out for are:

anything claiming to be a silver bullet; there are no silver bullets, no magical treatments, no one weird food that will fix the problem or one weird supplement that will make everything better.

Over-emphasis on a specific type of diet (diet as in "all the food that a person consumes" not as in "weight loss tool") for a general population. It's irresponsible to recommend a rigorous, restricted diet to a wide variety of people because people are so different that one diet that works for one person (say a vegan diet) might be unhealthy or difficult to manage for another person who would thrive on a different diet (low fat, low carb).

Anyone who tells you to cut out an entire food group or macronutrient is a liar who is trying to get your money. Unless it is your personal medical doctor who is saying "you need to stop eating grains" you do not need to stop eating grains and should not stop eating grains. You also do not need to stop eating fat, or eat only protein, or cut all fruit out of your diet. (caveat: there are some conditions that require a very low fiber diet, but even on that diet there are some fruits you can eat)

Beyond that, what you can do to make sure you're getting the best information possible is:

look up the author of any article you're looking at and see what else they've written; check what their qualifications are. See the people they interact with or have collaborated with. If they work heavily with people who are, say, antivax or proponents of raw milk, you should not trust their work.

If you see something that claims to treat your condition or help with nutrition, search "[subject] research study" or "[subject] scholarly research" and see what comes up. Read at least a few papers on the subject and see if there's a consensus or if there are broad disagreements. Get into the habit of looking up the impact scores of journals and researching the history of the journals.

Learn to recognize the woo keywords with your particular illness. For celiac that's "leaky gut," and any article I come across that discusses "leaky gut" gets extra scrutiny because sometimes there are legitimate reasons to describe a "leaky gut" but more often there are woo nonsense reasons. One really good way to figure out what the woo keywords for your illness are is to search "[your illness] + [woo huckster]", so "celiac + joseph mercola" or "celiac + the food babe." (those are good starting places to see what woo is popular around anything nutrition based, really; nothing those two say is trustworthy) you can also try "[your condition] + [specific type of medical woo]" with, like, "chiropractic" and "homeopathic" and "holistic" in the second box.

Be wary of positive assertions without evidence. If someone is making an affirmative statement and they aren't providing a citation, be suspicious.

Anyway. Good luck. It sucks out there.
