This is a re-post of an article by Melissa A. Fabello about personal burn-out, what is it, how it happens, how to avoid it and how to take care of oneself.

Audre Lorde wrote in 1988, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
Ok it’s not a gastronomic congress, but can we pretend to a sustainable alternative without including the food system?
Maybe we lack whisthleblowers from the food industry ? For whatever reasons, it seems that hackers are condemned (by design) to eating junk..
Why is it every times no choice in between hot dogs or pizza or crepes ? for vegetarians it’s often worst: plastic salad with fake cream cheese or frozen carottes with industrial beans?
One can argue that germany is the country of salami and ham, but it’s also the one of Demeter and high standards organic agriculture..
So I’d like to understand : Is food the last preoccupation of the organization ? Is industrial junk is the default option?
Yes there is lots of constraint to feed thousands of people, but no more than other organizational aspect..
How can it be so exemplar on every single organizational aspect but food ?
I’d like to understand that… Is is it because the junk industry is so well implanted and irreplaceable?
Why is it so hard to have the same level of exigence and ethics than for other technology and social issue?
It seems that fooding (and well being in general) is the ultimate thing to hack.

Le ventre notre deuxieme cerveau
– Marie-Odile Monchicourt, France info, info science – 11 Juin 2012
S’il réagit aux antidépresseurs, il peut aider à prévenir la maladie de Parkinson… Depuis quelques années, la recherche accumule les indices qui font de cet organe rien de moins qu’un deuxième cerveau. Avec Michel Neunlist, directeur de l’unité 913 de l’INSERM. “Il possède autant de neurones que la moelle épinière et pourtant, il ne loge pas sous notre crâ^ne, mais dans notre ventre ! Lui, c’est le “système nerveux entérique” ou SNE, un réseau dense de neurones étroitement connectés entre eux, qui enveloppe tout l’intestin.
