  • The article is paywalled but the gist is in the tagline: people kept peanuts but babies for fear of allergies but lack of exposure leads to allergies.

    I’ve been casually following this for awhile so here’s some further insight: peanut allergies were on the rise worldwide except in one place…Israel.

    Have you ever seen those “puffs” baby snacks? They’re like Cheeto Puffs but made for babies. Easier to eat with a weaker flavor. They’re popular across the world but there’s a brand with a peanut variety that sells particularly well in Israeli.

    After realizing the connection, they started studying it. I am assuming this article is the conclusion of that study.



  • Personally I liked how vague it all was. I love when movies leave stuff unexplained for the viewers to figure out or interpret instead of having unrealistic exposition. The characters live in that world, they don’t need to talk about how things are. The only real exposition is the news report in the beginning

    Unlike most movies, I felt like I was IN the world. This was helped by the cinematography. I haven’t watched it in a long time but I remember the first time I saw the last (?) gun fight scene. Asking myself “Did [character] just die??” as the camera keeps moving. Yes, they did, but there’s no time to even let the camera hang.

    Not the best story, not the best characters, but I still loved it.
