Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you who you are. It seems that today - no matter what the answer would be - would indagowanemu in this way to make a diagnosis: you're an idiot.
"Poverty and oysters always go hand in hand" - said Sam Weller, the hero of Charles Dickens' Pickwick Club. "
"I do not understand, Sam," - said Mr.. Pickwick. "I mean that the poorer the neighborhood, the greater the demand for oysters. Why do not you just look around - stall with oysters on the half-dozen houses each, the whole street is full. What the hell, this is not the way that those who do not had nothing to eat, goes home and stuffing the oysters to the bursting point "- he explained himself. "That's right, and salmon is exactly the same" - said Mr.. Weller senior.
conversation took place in the mid-nineteenth century. Then the plague decimated the oyster, have become a rare commodity and food, and rich snobs. Similarly, he is pipelined with wild salmon from Scotland. However, domesticated salmon and subjected to industrial tuczowi is cheaper than cod.
beautiful salmon color but it is no longer the result of eating the small fish, crustaceans, just make beta-carotene in the feed. At the end of the biological chain of beta-carotene we eat. Together with what can be animals and plants are being sprayed. Together with antibiotics, hormones and pesticides. Connoisseurs of chemistry.
European Union is a registered 100 thousand. industrial chemicals , of \u200b\u200bwhich 70 thousand. is over one million registered and officially blessed recipes for everyday use products, including food and beverages. We eat and drink chemistry, which would not be in the form of industrial foods, but not the interest and convenience of producers and traffickers. Were it not for (exclusively dictated by economic considerations), concern for durability, attractive appearance, enticing smell, taste better.
first served fruit juice, advertised as 100 percent natural, printed on the box is small scribbles a list of codenames E. truly natural products have not actually exist. The problem is that the influence of substances used in food on human health is only partly known. The total secrecy are the health effects of mixture of many or even several chemicals that are consumed simultaneously in several products.
Researchers may be right in arguing that the substance X is harmless, but can not say that the same applies to compound X from Y. Defenders of chemicals use in our tables argue, not without a formal reason that most of these substances exist in nature. For example, plants produce the most toxic poisons produced by mankind - PCBs, dioxins and furans. A cup of coffee as the most natural contains over 1,000 chemicals, of which some are carcinogenic. U.S. scientists calculated that by drinking just one cup of coffee, we introduce into the body more carcinogenic factors than the sum of all consumed during the year along with the food of synthetic pesticides. It is very likely that research food products, as in many other cases have been financed by any of the companies. I probably was not the company lot.
The fact is that since Adam and Eve, people eat enormous quantities of naturally occurring chemicals in it and those who are suspected of causing cancer. It is also, however, that so highly as it is today cancer is not sick.
Moreover, it is also the question of quantity. Occurring compound found naturally in vegetables indole-3-carbinol has been regarded by medicine as a natural anti-cancer agent. It turned out that the high concentration of the same causes cancer. Common sense dictates the conviction that good is what is natural. From natural poisons they will manage human organisms, as fared since the beginning of the world. Before scientists figure out what's going on in the world of food chemistry (which is rather never happen), it will be too late.
oysters are healthy and apparently work well on the potency. But only those that are not burdened ecologically, including heavy metal compounds. And others probably not.
The superiority of margarine over butter food industry subjects us to an intensive education. If you ask smart child, what should I eat to grow into healthy, strong man, will answer that vitamins, iron and protein. So instead of eating animal feed factory. Child odparłoby ultimately simple, he wants to eat chocolate bars stuffed with sweetened milk powder, the industrial crafted potato chips, flour, frozen bread cutlet with frozen treats and the like. Everything you need to drink beverages, which are essential ingredients in appalling quantities of sugar and additives that enhance desire.
food ads are (apart from the socialist ideals), the last claim darkest prejudices. Take, for example, disseminated by manufacturers of food thesis that margarine is healthier and less calories than butter. None of this is not true. 100 g margarine contains exactly the same calories as 100 grams of butter, ie 750 kcal. Conducted in the U.S. by independent - which is very important - long-term university research institutes on a group of 80 thousand. people showed that those who eat four teaspoons per day of margarine increases the risk of stroke by two thirds compared to those consuming the same amount per day of butter.
so-called wholesome liveliness low-calorie light is different from the supposedly unhealthy food only normal that it contains more, and even a lot more water. This is the difference from the standpoint of the food producers enormous. Calculated that the water contained in consumer products, light costs more expensive than mineral water in the Sahara - 2 thousand. euros per cubic meter.
manipulation, they make us food manufacturer, is amazingly effective and strikingly primitive. Consumers are being told by the advertising and kupnych kupnych expertise of specialists: you'll like what you eat. This is a reference to the recesses of our soul, in which there is another shadow of mentalities of cannibals in New Guinea, who believed that the victim's brain eating, take over her wisdom, and eating heart - courage.
funniest thing is that those in the most extreme way opposed to the industrial food - vegetarians and vegans - are progressing exactly according to this way of thinking, only slightly modified: eat what the horse and you like a horse. But man is not - with few exceptions - the horse. Also when it comes to the construction of the gastrointestinal tract. The horse is a herbivore, a man is omnivorous. For years, were urged to eat carbs and avoid fats. When it became clear that this miraculous diet causes massive obesity in the U.S. and causes diabetes, promotes the opposite diet, low in carbohydrates, the so-called low-carb.
What is the ham in the ham? Udo Pollmer, head of the European Institute of Food Science and nutrition - which he says about himself that he belongs to an exclusive minority allowing himself to be evaluated, that if humanity does not want to behave in accordance with the theory, change theory - claims that are not dieticians advice have nothing to do with science. As an example, given widespread vogue for recommending people to drink as much water. The result is a more frequent water intoxication, ascites Water lung and brain. Professor Pollmer advised to drink only when you have the desire, and eat only that for which it is wanted, because the appetite is, signals are the body's needs. This is excellent advice, just where in the world today take what tastes good, knowing that this is it.
There is a saying - it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, so it certainly is a duck. Unfortunately, you can not say the same for ham - ham looks like, smells like ham, tastes like ham, so it definitely is a ham. Certainly one can say that it is not. Each of us has had multiple experiences with ham from the supermarket, which can be wrung out, because it drips water. It is built on a ham melon, which is also solid, even a bit of shape, color and texture reminiscent of ham, but made up of 97 percent. from the water. This means that the melon is more water than fruit nectar, which are liquids and water containing only 90 percent. Ham irrigated as a piece of desert areas are formed in the pork ham, enriched means causing increased absorption of water and submerged in the bathtub. After some time, this technologically enhanced ham absorbs water like a sponge.
course, extreme hydration causes the instability of the product. It is suitable for eating only the first day. The next day, sometimes after several hours in the refrigerator, ham it gets slimy and disgusting. Then he loses color, taste and smell. What happens to the quasi-ham, it happens with all other meats, including the so-called. drained sausages, which are also subject to hydration.
In quite recent past, as Gomulka, art determined the composition of meat butcher. With 100 kg of meat were obtained in the case of the so-called noble meats from 60 kg to 80 kg of product, today is obtained from 100 kg to 150 kg. In the case of ham or tenderloin is the addition of only water and chemicals. The other waste is cured, soy, milk powder, potato flour, and devil knows what else.
Why not roll champ? The bread is the same as the sausages. The bread looks like bread, and sometimes even smells like bread, but in reality is a product of chlebopodobnym. Contemporary Piece divided into two categories - the gumiastą and sand. Gumiasta has a sticky consistency, stretches like fresh asphalt and swells in the mouth as wadding. Sandy osypuje like dunes of Leba. And why does not smell of bread, bread and buns are not champ? Well, the champ is not because they are made from raw materials from which the effects of crunch can not be obtained. The flour, water, salt and yeast leaves crunching. Among other things - no. And what exactly, no one outside the bakers do not know and can not find out.
The labels on all food products must by law be changed their composition. You can to decipher, even if it's not just about symbols. Bread is no exception. On bread is a card with an address bakery. Logical - there is no place, though a little more paper in a roll anything that is not broke. Many of the mysteries of bread production has cleared a TV confession of the baker, who frankly said that for themselves and their families to prepare and bake bread alone, according to the traditional recipe. In the modern recipe, other raw materials are acceptable, of which at least raises terror even crumbs of dry bread is not sold. But there are, inter alia, gypsum and creatine, obtained from human hair bought in hairdressing. Hair stand on end on the head! And we are talking only about the products prepared fairly, in accordance with the formulas approved by the relevant Polish authorities and Europe.
the meantime, we have an army of crooks selling our products obsolete, refreshed, made from waste containing different from what the label says, in that often things do not fit to eat. Ham airy - in summer we have a list of foods that have been challenged by the control authority in the first quarter of 2005, referred to therein disqualifying defects meat products really arouse the appetite. Hungry for the ruthless rule of law. It is on this list too low in protein, lower input of raw meat and fatty, excessive fat, waste, increased content of phosphate and nitrite.
disadvantage are widespread, as teaching the report says, "Wrong organoleptic characteristics." In Polish it means that meats are disgusting smell and taste. Organoleptic Defects are also characteristic of the disputed processed fruit and vegetables. Everything that is in the lagoon, lagoons contains much more than they should, and far less raw material. The same applies to canned fish, in which at least is generally the same fish. As for dairy products, it does not need to buy low-fat cottage cheese, I tend to be normal or skimmed milk.
officers beat record company Astra from Siedlce, which, as sales of full-fat Edam kurowiak yellow, it means the cheese with the addition of oil. It's hard to admit the palm of priority for najbezczelniejszego fraud detected in the first quarter of 2005, remember the movie Stanislaw Bareja "Wanted, wanted", and research on the sugar content in sugar? Well
Trade Inspectorate examined the contents of the coffee in the coffee production Familiada zbożowonaturalnej Nost company. I did not find caffeine in it. The sausage and wheat, high performance, produced by plants JBB, while the presence of the casings were derived from ground meats. I mean, it was a sausage with a sausage. The sausage Vilnius Netter establishments consisted of cartilage and starch, which was the potatoes. The country ham plant Kaz-husband, in addition to stains and black streaks, found a number of large air holes. So it was a ham airy. Just for the summer.
Someone said that food quality is the price we pay for universal its availability. A bit expensive to go. And how to eat, what to eat in this situation? We do not know, but saying "delicious" with a meal should be prohibited because it looks like the mockery and cynicism.
Tadeusz Drozda, comedian: I do not like large networks, because the weight of the products easier upchnąć there is worse. The problem of food quality concerns me as well as a restaurant owner: before the place opened, I conducted a reconnaissance of the market, so you never once disappointed at my supplier.
ANDRZEJ Czubala, the chief inspector of commercial quality of agri-food: Studies show that many manufacturers simply cheating customers. More than 30 percent. Bread crumbs, which hits the stores, comes from the repayment of bread. The audit also turned out that the breadcrumbs were ornaments wares, such as icing or poppy, which clearly indicates that the bun has found its second life. Almost half have underestimated the importance of bread. In more than 70 percent. supermarket meat weight was too low, except that it contained unusually high water. The olive oil is added to sunflower oil cheaper. Wines to be branded and come from France or Spain, are often a mixture of fruit produced in the country. Fruit juices contain not only sometimes more - than indicated on the label - water, but also the colors or sweeteners. The processed fish instead of meat you can find wholesome bones or fragments of fins. A seemingly impossible to falsify the vinegar is often only the substitute. Despite many shortcomings and counterfeiting, Polish food, and so is one of the best in the world. Our manufacturers have the most modern technological lines. However, there will always be cheaters who want to earn the easiest.
KACZYŃSKA MARIA, wife of Lech Kaczynski, Warsaw's mayor: Do not buy in supermarkets, especially chickens. There is much talk that the meat is packed with instantly refreshed and preservatives. This problem also applies to fruits and vegetables. I recently bought a beautiful melons, and the house turned out that not suitable for eating. I think this wine chemistry, which has extended their thanks to the freshness and achieved the perfect look. To avoid such a situation, choose the shops and manufacturers who are not disappointed.
ZBIGNIEW Buczkowski, actor: Several months ago I bought a pre-packaged meat at the supermarket. Once opened, clearly stunk. Case Constaru has strengthened my conviction that it is not worth it to shop in unproven areas. Now, I buy meat from the butcher friend, Mr. Jack.
Bronislaw Komorowski, deputy PO: I observe that in the big stores frequently used method of enhancing the attractiveness of the goods by their proper lighting. Thanks to this operation, for example, oranges vile quality look attractive and tasty. Several times when I fall victim to such practices. Fruits, which looked very fresh, proved to be of similar quality as those available during the communist Cuban oranges with a taste of wood.
MAŁGORZATA TUSK, the wife of Donald Tusk, leader of the OP: I do not like to experiment, as a rule, so I reach for a particular type of cheese or sausage. Carefully check the expiration date and composition. I like the idea of \u200b\u200bthe owner of one of Sopot stores, selling products at a discounted rate, which ends with the expiration date. Customers know that for instance yoghurt on the border of validity will not be mixed on the shelf with those that could still form.
RAFAŁ KRÓLIKOWSKI, actor: My children are allergic, so I attach great importance to the composition of the products. Checking whether or not they contain preservatives and other enhancers. But when we happen to me a product that, despite assurances to the naturalness contains such harmful substances, not crazy about it. Just remember the manufacturer, and shun its products. I have the confidence that the Polish fruit, I like apples. I always buy them on the market at the best sellers.
Jan Tomaszewski, the former goalkeeper of Polish national football team: I once bought a smoked trout fillets in the package, in which the term of validity was still very long. Once opened, it turned out that the fish stinks. After a few times bought fillets of trout, and each time have been corrupt. Abroad, it would be impossible. If the manufacturer of a similar setback occurred, immediately all the goods were withdrawn from sale.
Michał Kamiński, PiS MP: I recently bought my wife the daughters of special foods for young children. When you open the jar, the contents turned out to be stale. It's a scandal. Everyone's talking about food that does not meet the standards, but did not suspect that this also applies to products for children.
Zbigniew Ziobro, deputy PIS: I am trying to ascertain whether the products they buy and eat, do not contain harmful compounds and substances. Meats or meat usually buy in a shop in my hometown, proven by my family.
Arjan Bakker, founder of an Internet auction site Allegro: buying groceries, checking, do not contain artificial substances that improve the taste or color. I want to be sure that I do not have to worry about my health. Poland has done much to catch up with European standards in The quality of food. The majority of Polish products could freely hit the Dutch tables.
ON ICE ice cream
challenged by the Provincial Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in Warsaw:
• BON TON - chocolate ice-lawyer in the composition of the recipe was instead of chocolate cocoa and introduced the name of customer confusion. The manufacturer has complied with the observations of inspectors and changed its name to "ice cream chocolate-ajerkoniakowym.
• RED ICE BLUE - a frenzy of energy-flavored energy drink manufacturer suggested that the product works like a drink enrgetyczny, which was not true and did not agree to the recipe on the package. At this time the name is "Blue ice cream flavor landrynkowym."
