Laptele care se vinde la cutii este reprocesat de pana la 5-6 ori
Am primit ieri un e-mail care m-am gandit ca ar fi bine sa-l postez, sa afle cat mai multa lume:
“Stiai ca laptele care se vinde la cutii este reprocesat (de pina la 5
ori!) in cazul in care nu se vinde inainte de termenul de expirare?
Laptele e trimis la fabrica si pasteurizat din nou…
Cand cumperi lapte la cutii, uite-te pe fundul cutiei. Daca vrei sa
cumperi lapte ne-reprocesat, nu cumpara lapte care are cifra 2, 3, 4 sau
5 in locul indicat in fotografia de mai jos.
Initial am avut tendinta sa ignor acest mail, dar aseara in Carrefour, cand din curiozitate m-am uitat pe fundul cutiilor de lapte, am constatat ca majoriatatea aveau inscriptionate cifrele 2,3,4,5 si chiar 6. Si mai mare mi-a fost uimirea cand un lucrator de la raionul de lactate mi-a confirmat ca acele cifre reprezinta numarul de repasteurizari!! "
Sa aveti o viata sanatoasa!

Think about! - luat de la Dan
Washington DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 mins a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 mins later the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the till and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 mins: a 3 year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly, as the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced them to move on.
45 minutes; the musician played. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace.
He collected $32.
1 hour; he finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments .... how many other things are we missing?
