Honey and maple syrup

I sweeten with honey or maple syrup. Honestly: that’s sugar too, and I’m not kidding myself. But I know what’s in it, I use very little, and I decide when. Not the factory that dumps it into every other product.

Water

Since I got a reverse osmosis system, I love drinking tap water. No more lugging crates of bottles around, no plastic. That’s my decision and my gut feeling. Important: reverse osmosis also filters out minerals like calcium and magnesium. You then have to get those from your food or top them up deliberately.

The body mostly makes vitamin D itself, when sunlight falls on the skin.

Dreh es um.

Nothing wrong, they said. I looked like I was dying.

This one I’m only writing once. To you.

Turn the pack over. And then stop laughing.

Five questions. After that, nobody sells you a story again.

The serpent wasn’t the devil. It worked in sales.

What you pay for. And what’s really inside.

Four manufacturers I earn nothing from.

Three moves. In the shop. On the jar.

Fluoride: the substance nobody adds up.

From the lab to the plate.

Who owns the whole shop.

And the vegan shelf.

Enough standing around in the dark.

Outside, it’s simpler than you’d think.

Five questions. After that, nobody sells you a story again.
