il pane 🥖 fa bene
Il pane fa bene. Il pane fa male. Entrambe queste idee sono comuni ed entrambe sono vere. Ad aggiungere ambiguità, propria di qualsiasi affermazione che cerchi di stabilire la verità, al tema del pane 🍞 contribuiscono due cose: innanzitutto che esistono molti modi di fare il pane, anzi moltissimi, in tutto il mondo in generale…

Come rimuovere i pesticidi dagli ortaggi che compriamo?
Il problema Lavare le verdure a casa? Perché? Come? Belli erano quei tempi, vecchi, quando le verdure si lavavano soltanto per rimuovere germi! I germi potevano esser lì (cosa brutta) oppure (il più delle volte) no. Per certi versi, i pesticidi sono più pericolosi dei germi: bisognerebbe evitare di mangiarne. Gli effetti devastanti sulla nostra salute…

The “bread” in Tesco
I noticed today that Tesco does not indicate anymore “contains flour treatment agent” on the bread. Perhaps all the types on sale are real bread: hardly! Just a step back in the path of information to the public. http://www.sustainweb.org/realbread/ Bakers, bakeries… ridiculously nonexistent in Great Britain.

Troppo semplice per chiamarla ricetta, ma buona: fregola e piselli
