Hey, that’s bad news. The owner company is considering closing the Guinness brewery at St James’s Gate (Dublin) due to the falling of Guinness business in Europe. The brewery is a piece of history, operating since 1759 and having been the largest brewery in the world for some time. The surrounding area is developing, and the place is worth a pile of money, for sure.

What can we do to save this piece of lovely Ireland? As for me, I’ll start choosing Guinness more often when I decide to have a beer!

Sláinte!

Yes, of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Nevertheless I can’t but wonder: is there no shame at all?

Yes, I know far worse problems afflict the world. Or is it maybe the same problem after all? Isn’t really the point just how much money you can get compromising the health (or even life) of other people? That’s the basic idea that I refuse, even if sadly it’s currently the most powerful force around.

Back to the fact: a New York City Health Board regulation will require primarily large chain restaurants and fast food to display the calorie count of their menu items on the menu. Guess what? The New York State Restaurant Association filed a lawsuit asking for the rule to be declared unconstitutional.

I’ve also found interesting this research about what’s NOT on the menu.

Should it be unconstitutional to know what you’re putting in your body? If restaurants want this to be a secret, I cannot but wonder: are they conscious of bad nutritional quality of the food they sell?
