Consumer group CHOICE has welcomed the Federal Government’s consultation to strengthen unit pricing rules and address shrinkflation. CHOICE has been calling for changes to the Grocery Unit Pricing Code for years to make unit pricing easier for consumers to use, including making it more visible and ensuring it’s used consistently.

YAMA is the radical acceptance that missing out is inevitable, so there’s no need to stress about it. Rather than trying to optimize every decision or avoid regret, it reminds us that we’re finite beings in an infinite world.

We all have them. Those familiar, automatic behaviours we reach for when we feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or under threat. Saying yes when we mean no. Overachieving to prove our worth. Shrinking to keep the peace. Staying busy to avoid being still. These are our protective patterns — and while they once helped us stay safe, ...

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day. I got to spend an entire almost two hours in the car driving to one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago to pick up brunch and bring it back home. It was absolutely glorious.

Written by Dr Matti Häyry, PhD, Professor of Philosophy of Management, Aalto University School of Business (Academic Visitor at the Oxford Uehiro Centre, University of Oxford, 2007–2008) Antinatalism is being against reproduction, typically on altruistic grounds. Applied to humans, this means not having children in the trepidation that their lives could be miserable. A prominent| Practical Ethics
Co-intelligence is a worldview and capacity that manifests in various methodologies and as an applied philosophy. It involves embracing wholeness, inclusiveness, and interconnectedness in addressing challenges and situations. Practicing co-intelligence includes seeking to understand and engage with the evolving whole, including more lives and perspectives, nurturing relationships, and developing systems that enhance collective capacity. It can be approached through principles, inquiry, and cu...| Random Communications from an Evolutionary Edge
The increasing challenges and unpredictability of electoral activities – and society in general – in the US and elsewhere generate opportunities for moving towards fundamental transformation. Not all such transformation is desirable, but in this post I explore some that could be promoted from the worldview of co-intelligence and wise democracy. I don’t often comment on current events, but the speed of change over the last week inspired me to offer my two cents. I hope yo...| Random Communications from an Evolutionary Edge
Unusually, I’ve struggled the last couple of weeks to find something I wanted to write about for this post.

In a recent conversation, someone asserted to me that ultimately everyone does what they want. I felt an immediate fury. That does not describe my life at all. I chewed on my outrage and resentment for a few weeks, simmering, until I decided to get over it and figure out why I was so hijacked. Is it true that we all do what we want to do in an effort to achieve certain outcomes?| Harvesting Stones
I’ve always said I hate politics. In hindsight, what I was really expressing was discomfort with divisiveness and conflict, lies and deceits and power games. Talking about politics feels like pinning Jello to the wall. People throw labels and jargon around. Terms are not defined and agreed upon. True intent is obfuscated. Actions and words […] The post Group Decision Making, A.K.A. Politics first appeared on Harvesting Stones.| Harvesting Stones
The term high risk pregnancy often causes concern to clients. They may feel well ad healthy, and have always been. Sometimes at their first appointment in pregnancy they find that they are classified as having a “high risk” pregnancy. Sometimes some new information arises during the pregnancy and you are told that you have become high risk. Why?

Midwifery in the UK is very different to midwifery in Malawi, and to midwifery in many other countries. For those who have grown up in the UK with the NHS, there is a general acceptance that healthcare is freely available, and an acceptance that the system is under a great deal of pressure and there are often significant delays. For… The post Midwifery in the UK appeared first on Walking With You.| Walking With You
One of the issues I thought a great deal about during my time in Malawi is the issue of interventions in pregnancy and birth. Are interventions a bad thing? Are they good?

Throughout human history, throughout the world, the majority of babies have been born at home. In the last few decades however, in many countries, hospital birth has been promoted as being “best”. So is hospital birth best? This is a question I discuss frequently in the UK, and it has been an increasing concern for me in Malawi. Since 2012… The post Midwife in Malawi (part 12) – Is hospital birth best? appeared first on Walking With You.| Walking With You
The population in Malawi has grown at an astonishing rate in the last 10 years. There is a very important message that needs to be shared here – of family spacing and the use of contraception. The speed that the population is increasing is very problematic for such a poor country, not simply in terms of cash and service provision,… The post Midwife in Malawi (part 11) – family spacing appeared first on Walking With You.| Walking With You
Holding and carrying your baby all day is just what every woman does here. It isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity, but one which seems to work very well for both the woman and the baby. In the UK we have many options including prams and buggies, car seats, and a wide array of slings and baby carriers.
