Culinair Ontdekt: Langoustine

Verschoning. Maar er is goed nieuws te melden, en dat wil ik u niet onthouden. Langoustines (Nephrops norvegicus) zijn kreeftjes die nauw verwant zijn met de echte zeekreeft, de homard, zeg maar, anders dan garnalen en langoesten.

First came a quote from a Yale University professor of psychology and public health, Kelly Brownell, who was an especially vocal proponent of the view that the processed-food industry should be seen as a public health menace: “As a culture, we’ve become upset by the tobacco companies advertising to children, but we sit idly by while the food companies do the very same thing.

And we could make a claim that the toll taken on the public health by a poor diet rivals that taken by tobacco.” “If anyone in the food industry ever doubted there was a slippery slope out there,” Mudd said, “I imagine they are beginning to experience a distinct sliding sensation right about now.” Mudd then presented the plan he and others had devised to address the obesity problem.
