  • If you believe that your local bakery can survive without those chemicals, think again. There are a handful of specialized bakeries that actually work on “clean” recipies, but they are rare and much more expensive.

    Yes, even in Germany, the country of bread, rising agents and acidity regulators are common. Whenever you see a “bakery” put prepared rolls into the oven, you can be sure that chemistry is the bakers best friend.




  • The first step with bread is grinding the corn. This a basic way to make it edible for the tribe. Have you ever tried to bite on a corn of wheat or rye?

    Mix it with water and cook it to make it softer, and you get a kind of porrige. Leave it warm over night, and you have a sourdough. Rekindle the fire on the next day, and you’ll have a proto bread.

    From there to the white bread made with a dozen chemical stabilizers, acid regulators and raising agents as they are sold in the supermarket is just the result of refining the process.







  • When I watched the crash video, I thought that something cut the fuel off. Because that was the most likely reason for all engines to stop.

    So, if the pilot or copilot did not do it (I assume it is not just a switch that you can trigger accidentally), what other system has the capability to switch off all fuel lines? Fire suppression systems? Some general “switch off”? And how hard would it be to restart fuel supply? Is it possible to override e.g. such a fire suppression system?
