In the new issue of AnOther Magazine, the Berlin-based artist and milliner talks about her art and why the protests in Iran are “a revolution for women, life and freedom”
“Growing up in Iran, I did what all girls of my generation did – as I was told. Because as far as we knew, there would never be another option. We never imagined anything else. Years of this prompted me to find a way to escape the fear of oppression and harness joy. That’s what art is for me, that’s what my hats are – I approach them with lightness.
, which have galvanised conversation far and wide, I’ve avoided commercial work and made political drawings to raise awareness about women in Iran instead. As an Iranian outside Iran I feel so proud yet so helpless. This generation – many of them just kids – know exactly what they want and are so determined to get it. The courage and momentum are contagious. When uprising comes in such numbers, with such force and energy, it can – and will – do big things.

Frontiers | A comparison of the nutritional profile and nutrient density of commercially available plant-based and dairy yogurts in the United StatesIntroduction: Plant-based yogurts are sustainable alternatives to dairy yogurts, but a nutritional comparison of plant-based yogurts within the context of dairy yogurts has not yet been applied to commercially available products in the United States. Dairy yogurts provide significant dietary nutrients, and substituting plant-based yogurts may have unintended nutritional consequences. The objective of this study was to compare the macronutrient and micronutrient values of commercially available plant-based and dairy yogurts launched between 2016 and 2021. Methods: Nutritional information for yogurts were collected through Mintel Global New Products Database, and products were categorized according to their primary ingredient. Regular-style yogurts (n=612) were included in this study: full-fat dairy (n=159), low and nonfat dairy (n=303), coconut (n=61), almond (n=44), cashew (n=30), and oat (n=15). We utilized the Nutrient Rich Foods (NRF) Index, a comprehensive food guidance system that assigns a score based on the nutrient density of individual foods. This allowed us to compare the nutritional density of the yogurts based on nutrients to encourage (protein, fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, vitamin D) and nutrients to limit (saturated fat, total sugar, sodium). Results: Compared to dairy yogurts, plant-based yogurts contained significantly less total sugar, less sodium, and more fiber. However, plant-based yogurts contained significantly less protein, calcium, and potassium than dairy yogurts. The yogurts were ranked from the highest to lowest nutrient density based on the NRF Index as follows: almond, oat, low and nonfat dairy, full-fat dairy, cashew, and coconut. Almond yogurts scored significantly higher than all other yogurts, indicating the highest nutrient density. Discussion: The highest NRF scores were awarded to almond and oat yogurts, likely a result of their low levels of total sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. By applying the NRF model to plant-based and
