Eco trends

-

Yesterday the European Parliament approved ban on throwaway plastics. The use of disposable cutlery, straws etc. is supposed to be reduced by 2021 what caused some heated debates on the internet. I think that this decision could have been influenced by many campaigns supported by famous people from all over the world. It could be even called a trend or a fashion to be in the ‘Eco Club’. Strangely, some people make it an allegation, for example in comments on the internet they claim that those celebrities who engage in ‘save the environment’ or ‘save animals’ campaigns are stupid and hypocrites and do it just because it is trendy or because others do it. Of course in some cases it might be true but I really do not see the point of this criticism. In my opinion it does not make any sense to criticize a fashion just because it is a fashion. It surely can have many positive effects but it would probably have even more if people stopped judging and trying to pigeonhole everything and everyone. I wish good ideas were appreciated regardless of whether you like the one who makes them or not.

    The amount of casual hate on the Internet seems to limitless.
    Someone on a comedy chat show said recently that the ban on plastic straws in the UK was single-handedly caused by David Attenborough and one of the episodes of Blue Planet, which showed the plastic pollution.
    BTW, I have some doubts about the way you used the words 'allegations' and 'pigeonhole'. Come talk to me?

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger root

Obraz
Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

Taste the World Festival

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
