Thinking at the scale of the Anthropocene highlights the significant burden on all life imposed by the residues of industrialization as well as continued pollution. But it also risks a disconnect between the functioning of planetary atmospheres and the functioning of local airs. In this thought-piece, we consider together the potato chip bag, the asthma inhaler, and climate positive building design as scalar practices of Anthropocene air. By figuring Anthropocene air as an interscalar vehicle, we show connections between matter and relations that seem distant and disconnected. We do this by honing in on respiration as a transformative atmospheric process that has been designed in advanced capitalism to extend life for some, while denying life for others. We point to seconds, hours, days, weeks, and seasons to highlight how containment technologies and respiratory processes function in the Anthropocene to remake air. These technologies and practices, which all too often go unnoticed in consumption landscapes, demonstrate that despite Anthropocene air’s tendency to exceed human agency, it is liable to engineering. Doing this offers insight into where different scales of action can be mobilized.

Abstract Objectives Nuts are a rich source of nutrients, fiber, antioxidants and phytochemicals which may reduce the risk for chronic diseases. Many studies have examined the effects of individual types of nuts only. There is limited research investigating if the beneficial effects extend to the consumption of a nut mixture, which is how people more often choose to consume nuts. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of daily mixed nut consumption on satiety, postprandial glucose, insulin response, anxiety and bowel movement patterns in healthy young adults. Methods Subjects (N = 20) were randomized into two groups either consuming 42 g (250 Kcal) of mixed nuts (n = 10, 9 females, 1 male, age 24.5 ± 1.2 y, BMI 24.8 ± 1.5 kg/m2) containing cashews, almonds, pecans, peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, brazil and macadamia nuts or 46 g of iso-Kcaloric lightly salted potato chips (n = 10, 8 females, 2 males, age 24.2 ± 1.0 y, BMI 23.3 ± 1.0 kg/m2) every day for three weeks. Measurements for blood pressure (BP) using an automatic BP monitor, waist to hip ratio, satiety using a visual analogue scale, anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale and bowel movement patterns using a 7-day bowel movement diary were taken at baseline and wk 3. Plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured at baseline, 45mins postprandial and at wk 3 and analyzed using an ultrasensitive insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Both types of snack consumption increased satiety while only mixed nut consumption improved postprandial glucose and insulin levels (P < 0.05). Body weight, BMI (body mass index), body fat, systolic and diastolic BP, waist and hip circumferences, waist to hip ratio, and anxiety were not significantly different among groups. Both the potato chip and mixed nut groups significantly reduced straining during bowel movements however only the mixed nut group significantly increased stool amount (P < 0.05). Conclusions The consumption of mixed nuts stabilized postprandial glucose and insulin responses and improved bowel movement patterns more than the potato chip group suggesting that the regular consumption of mixed nuts may reduce the risk for developing diabetes as well as improve gut health.
