Alimentation : le végétal a la cote

Wonderful move.

Vegan vs Vegetarian - Difference and Comparison | Diffen

"Neither vegans nor vegetarians eat meat. However, while vegetarians tend to consume dairy products and eggs, a vegan avoids all animal products, including eggs and dairy, and often inedible animal-based products, such as leather, wool, and silk. Vegetarianism is usually a diet, while veganism is a lifestyle. Vegetarians often choose their diet based on its reported health benefits or for religious or political reasons. In general, vegans have much stronger political beliefs regarding their diet, with some believing animals should be protected under many of the same laws that humans are."

Michel et Augustin - Les trublions du goût

How interesting!

Oddly high prices

Many food prices in France are both reasonable by US standards and in fact, many are dramatically lower than in the US. There are exceptions, however. One I noticed today was in a sale flyer from Carrefour - Spanish jambon (ham) WITH the bone, selling at 50% of its normal price. That, by itself, is attractive, but consider the starting price - 50 euros/kg. Very roughly that is about 25 USD/lb. At half-off, I guess it becomes somewhat attractive, but at the normal price, phew!

Sibling Rivalry – the facts and fiction | Showbiz Geek

Interesting.
It’s often said that Aldi and Lidl were set up by two rival brothers – but that’s just not true.  Aldi was set up by the Albrecht brothers Karl and Theo and they split the company into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd after a row in the 60’s. 
But neither went off to set up Lidl.
Lidl was actually founded in the 1930s by a member of the Schwarz family.  The name Lidl is the surname of Josef Schwarz’s former business partner Ludwig Lidl.

[Défi: épisode 1] Je mange local pendant un mois: c'est plus dur que je le croyais...

Great effort!

"Quatrième
newsletter “On se bouge” et deuxième semaine #mangerlocal.
Ça fait maintenant 15 jours que j’essaye de me nourrir exclusivement de
produits locaux, en gros dans un rayon de 60-70 kilomètres autour de Nice. Il
paraît que ce n’est jamais trop tard pour essayer de consommer autrement, mais…
c’est plus dur que ce que je croyais. D’abord, je suis allée au supermarché (je
vous vois rire - ne riez pas). Je n’y ai pas rempli mon chariot, mais j’ai
quand même trouvé des courgettes fleurs, du fromage de Lantosque, des pâtes
fraîches made in Nissa, et des herbes aromatiques de la vallée du Var. Puis, je
suis allée au marché - nettement mieux - où j’ai fait le plein de légumes de
Saint-Jeannet. Enfin, j’ai mangé dans un café “agri-culturel” et on ne m’a même
pas servi du quinoa. Forcément, le Court-Circuit, rue Vernier à Nice, ne
cuisine que des produits locaux. Lasagnes aux légumes, betterave et fenouil
pour tout le monde. Bref, c’est très bon, mais en une semaine, je suis devenue
végétarienne. Heureusement, grâce aux précieux conseils de collègues et amis
avisés - et qui aiment la viande, la situation est en passe de s’arranger. Vous
connaissez l’agneau de Briançonnet? Je vous tiens au courant."
