Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

Today is one of those sobering days where we Swiss citizens are reminded that we have no say in who our executive leaders will be.

A real oddity in Switzerland, where citizens otherwise enjoy enormous democratic rights, including referenda and popular initiatives.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.
