Ultra-Processed Foods, Singapore Planning

Lehan Edirisinghe

A brief page about Ultra-Processed Foods and Singapore Planning.

The image is a screenshot from The Guardian website featuring a headline, "I went a week without ultra-processed foods. Here’s what I learned." It shows a variety of foods typically considered ultra-processed, such as a burger with a sesame seed bun, a bowl of potato chips, popcorn, a muffin, and hot dogs with buns. Additionally, there's a glass of cola with straws visible. The arrangement suggests a focus on discussing dietary habits and the impact of processed foods. The article belongs to a section titled "Our unequal earth," indicating a broader theme of environmental and health-related discussions. The colors are bright and the setting appears to be indoors, emphasizing the variety of processed foods typically available. The Guardian logo is visible in the top right corner, and there's a "Support us" button in yellow below the site’s navigation bar.

McDonald’s, School Menus and Sustainable Fast Food

10:15 p.m.

We are aware of the threat posed by ultra processed foods.

Even for our school menus, we have great fast food for happiness, enjoyment and taste, but also affordability

In France, the government stepped up for their people, demanding McDonald's supply food properly and even care for environment

We factor everything when doing business, so it's not profit at expense of planet or health

In China, they negotiated a deal to earn off McDonald's franchise as well, splitting the profits

We are doing similar things

The food we use for kids, will be very sustainable, healthy and perishable

They will be as organic as we can get

But the most important thing is it must taste good -- which is where McDonald's is the king of food, not just fast food, it's the king of the food empire

The screenshot displays an article from the website independent.co.uk. The title of the article is "Star Wars – Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord," published by The Independent. It discusses a fan theory suggesting that the character Jar Jar Binks from "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" is secretly a Sith Lord. The article describes how Jar Jar's clumsy behavior could be a cover for his true villainous nature, citing his chaotic movements and hand gestures. The page features a highlighted phrase "Meesa think," which is a catchphrase associated with Jar Jar Binks. The text is formatted in a typical article style, with a mix of bold and regular fonts. The webpage appears to be viewed on a mobile device, indicated by the browser interface visible at the top and bottom of the screen. The screenshot captures a section of the article, focusing on the text and a blue highlight over the phrase "Meesa think".

Laughing at an Exhaustive List of Conspiracies

10:15 p.m. (b)

Hehe this is funny

Nice, exhaustive list of conspiracies

The screenshot features an article from ekathimerini.com titled "The architect who made Singapore’s public housing the envy of the world." The article highlights Liu Thai Ker, described as a key architect in modernizing Singapore’s housing. The main image shows an older man, presumably Liu Thai Ker, seated at a reflective surface, likely a desk, with a backdrop of large urban high-rise buildings. His posture is composed, with hands placed thoughtfully. There's an emphasis on natural light and greenery, as potted plants flank his workspace, contributing to a sense of balance between urban and natural elements. The article, published by The New York Times and written by Sui-Lee Wee, emphasizes Liu's contributions to transforming slums into affordable, community-focused high-rise apartments. The visual and textual elements underscore his commitment to integrating convenience and light in housing design. The date of the article is marked as May 25, 2024. The setting indicates a spacious office environment, reflecting the modern architectural themes Liu Thai Ker is known for. The mood is contemplative, reflecting on past achievements and current challenges related to housing costs. - Title: "The architect who made Singapore’s public housing the envy of the world" - Site / app: "ekathimerini.com"

Redesigning Sri Lanka With Singapore-Style City Planning

10:15 p.m. (c)

Wow

This is genius

Having done Singapore's hdb

And an airport

Like the shrink in Don Juan DeMarco

He might have to do one more case

Before retiring

The whole of SL

Although with cloud computing, our super computers are within our people's reach

I saw the city planning teams next to Otters or BMICH or near Longden Place

When driving by

We are happy to build SL again with Singapore's compulsory land purchase and eminent domain laws

As this is now crucial to our survival

We will be happy to partner this firm to redesign our cities

With some bicycle paths

Liu Thai Ker and Sri Lanka’s Small Roads

10:15 p.m. (d)

Liu Thai Ker

Singapore's a beautifully designed city nation

There are a few areas in Singapore, beautifully designed

We might pay market rates

But we have property taxes and whatever also

So we will do it

A lot of SL's roads are way too small

Some of them are 1 way roads

Or just 1 road

And it's quite unfair

As you can only have one car on the road

So if someone's trying to go the other way

Someone has to give way

You can tell from it

They have paid very little care to this

I have seen next to this Sporting Times:

The video frame features a cityscape of Singapore, highlighting the modern architectural landscape with Shenton Way mentioned in the subtitles. Prominent skyscrapers dominate the skyline, showcasing a blend of contemporary designs with varied geometric shapes. In the foreground, historical buildings with red-tiled roofs and classic facades contrast with the modern structures, illustrating the blend of old and new in Singapore's urban planning. The sky is clear, suggesting a bright, sunny day. The composition emphasizes the city's dense urban environment, with tall structures forming a striking backdrop against the historical architecture.

Cities: Skylines and Public City Design

10:45 p.m.

: )

I like Cities and Skylines

We'll load it on our super computer, and have our people play a role

Although, we'll make final design choices
