3. Conscious consumer course

Let's start your journey through the supermarket and create a normal healthy set of products today.Let's start with these things, well, you probably don't eat this anymore, but perhaps your children or your grandchildren do.I remember myself, well, like Elena Ivanovna the doctor - there’s no time to eat, at 8 o’clock you’re already at a five-minute appointment, then you make rounds to see patients, etc., you accept new patients, in short, it’s busy.And somewhere around two or three o’clock in the afternoon you already understand that your brain is not thinking straight, you need to eat something.And when you go downstairs to the buffet, there are only pizzas, rolls, croissants, all carbohydrates.Well, when you realize that this is not really food, you have to take something with you, and the girls and I took herring fillets.What are the complaints about these herring fillets?Well, it would seem that it’s just a herring, by the way, when the bones are already taken out of it, it’s very convenient - I ate the herring, soaked up all this liquid with a crumb of bread, well, butter and everything, and it’s really tasty, and I’m full.But really girls, why does it last so long?Because the shell itself consists of the substance hexamethylenetetramine.It is used as a hardener for phenol-formaldehyde resins and when it interacts with the acidic contents of this jar, and there is vinegar there, formaldehyde is formed.

Formaldehyde is a strong preservative, which is why it is used in the food industry.Formaldehyde stabilizes dead tissue so that it does not decompose, which is why the herring is very well preserved in this package.This is colossal toxicity.The herring has nothing to do with it – it’s a shell.Once again, E239 is the substance that is found in this plastic.You will never see formaldehyde E240 in your life, because it is a carcinogen, because once again I say it is a cellular poison, and it is clearly prohibited everywhere.Unless it is used in pathology departments to fix dead tissue.That's why we don't eat things like this.We can buy herring, which is in tins.What is a tin can?The tin can is made of aluminum and is coated with a protective film on the inside.How intact is the protective film, how much aluminum comes out into the general solution?There are also a lot of questions here, but it’s safer when the young lady selling herring pulls the herring out of this tin, packs it for you and gives it to you, than something like this.We need to explain it to everyone, including the family.
