There is a move to use corn based packaging but this is not without its problems. Ideally there needs to be a radical shift in how much packaging is needed and only that which is absolutely necessary should be allowed and then in a form that is sustainable.

I watched a TV programme a few years ago where they made an apple pie that was massively over-processed and hardly even had a bit if apple in it yet by carefully manipulating the wording and images on the packaging they could legally imply it was an artisan produced pie of the highest natural quality.

In France you don't hear a lot about gluten intolerance and many people buy their bread fresh from he bakery every day ... but sadly this is gradually changing and there is now much more "plastic bread" on sale than 10 years ago.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-26314064679533718702018-06-08T07:31:49.621+02:002018-06-08T07:31:49.621+02:00Off to look for that book now!Off to look for that book now!A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-41830996192985583302018-06-08T07:31:18.241+02:002018-06-08T07:31:18.241+02:00Thank you - if only everyone could stop and think ...Thank you - if only everyone could stop and think about the implications of what they eat, then the planet might not be in quite such a mess.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-49575937348484252512018-06-08T06:32:24.004+02:002018-06-08T06:32:24.004+02:00I didn't know the word GreenWash!

Though I thought about this a lot - how misunderstood concepts like green, natural, sustainable etc. is, and how many companies hijack these words for their own benefit. It's important to keep discussing it, defining it..

I think they affect alot of people too - I've been on a gluten free diet for the last few years, but have recently found that by buying freshly baked bread from a bakery that I have no issues - I wonder if other people who are gluten intolerant might find the same thing?Leannehttp://ecothriftylifestyle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-11447733093947443242018-06-07T22:41:16.165+02:002018-06-07T22:41:16.165+02:00I read a book once called “Green, Greener, Greenes...I read a book once called “Green, Greener, Greenest” about the various degrees to which things are environmentally friendly.

Not in my book. Ditto palm oil.

We do buy bread because despite my efforts gluten free home made bread is not successful, but I’m never sold on “organic” when it’s in a plastic bag. Also I agree with you, on the palm oil thing? I use olive oil or butter in my bread when I make non gluten bread. <br /><br />This is marketing, at its finest! Now I want bread and butter pudding! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
