A new study in JAMA tracks all children's breakfast cereals launched since 2010. Even starting from a low baseline, the trend was higher fat, sodium, carbs, and sugar and lower protein and fiber. There's a reason American cereals are sold in candy stores in Europe. via @statnews

The similarities between Abundance & @karthik_econ's Accelerating India's Development; the need for tinkering, but also for stopping dumb polices - today's blog post is my attempt to draw out common themes and lessons

*How* did so much of the world's population exit extreme poverty? @vinnyarmentano , Tom Vogl and I wanted to know; here is what we've found.. https://t.co/0uuNtVIKcW
