  Non-Organic Tomatoes vs Organic Non-organic tomatoes on the left, organic on the right. After a week on the sunny kitchen windowsill (we should keep tomatoes out of the fridge if we want any proper taste), where they had been allowed to ripen , this is what happened. The non-organic variety on the left had not changed AT ALL , no ripe process had taken place.  They looked like plastic, they tasted awfully sour. It looked like a dodgy product.  Organic tomatoes were quite similar at the time of purchase. Over a week they changed, clearly and pleasantly - gaining in colour and taste.  The green part had naturally dried and darkened. All-natural processes. In a science documentary a few years ago - a laboratory person took some tomatoes under scrutiny and concluded: the tomatoes we now know, have about 80% of the nutrients less that the tomatoes we have eaten in the 1960s, 1970s - they are closer to the organic variety. You would have to eat five of those on the ...

Dried Cranberries - Not as Healthy as It Seems  These  dried cranberries  are supposed to be a healthy snack.  They taste strangely good, sour-sweet. Because the  added sugar  is in a huuuuge amount. Well, if you are at risk of diabetes, as we all are, you should take notice. Daily recommended amount of sugar is between 25 and 37 grams ( 6 to 9 teaspoons , for man and women, respectively).  This pack has 71 grams of sugar .  Many people devour it in one go. And they think they eat healthy food. What a scam! NEXT: Müller Greek Yogurt ... with Added Sugar Yoghurt  is good for your gut.  However, not in the case below.  The ' velvet ' taste is due to sugar being added - almost 10 grams for less than one serving .  It ruins not only its taste - but also any health claims .  Sugar  is a bigger problem than fat in today's obesity and diabetes epidemic . Mr Muller, your  yoghurt-like drink has to be bani...

Growing views against the use of plastic  do not mean that food manufactures will gladly comply with the new demand.  Some customers still choose to indulge themselves in a horrible plastic waste scheme.   The stores and manufacturers will produce for those ignorants a few things that should be on a ' blacklist ' of any eco-fellowship; not to mention simple reasoning that it should be banned straight away . With huge fees paid on this gross misconduct and sham. Because this is what it is. How can those people buy the abhorrent stuff and then watch happily, for example, David Attenborough pledge to reduce the use of plastic ?! We have witnessed such a situation. This is how hypocritical it gets: Mark & Spencers - You Should Shame Yourself Selling This: M&S Classic 10 One Cup Filters are a complete and utter shock-waste.   These are used ONLY for ONE coffee . Then it is thrown away; the plastic cup of a size of a cup is simply thrown AWAY . A huge amount of...
