From bon appetit to Uber Eats: why France′s beloved restaurants are in crisis | Paul Taylor (The Guardian)
|
|

When I started as a reporter in Paris in the 1970s, long, boozy lunches were the norm. Now only fast food and fine dining are thrivingSpare a thought for the poor French restaurateur. Once the iconic image of a sybaritic nation that loved nothing more than a boozy meal out with friends or colleagues, the French restaurant is in deep crisis. Traditional restaurants are closing faster than you can shout “garçon!”, as eating habits change and the cost of living pinches.“It's a catastrophe for our profession,” Franck Chaumès, president of the restaurant branch of the Union of Hospitality Trades and Industries (UMIH) said in a television interview recently. “Some 25 restaurants are going out of business every day.” The UMIH has demanded – so far in vain – that the government ration the opening of new restaurants, in proportion to the local population, and license only professionals who are qualified in cooking and accounting.Paul Taylor is a senior visiting fellow at the European Policy Cent...

Small restaurants in China starve as consumers suppress appetite for spending (SCMP)
|
|
|
Small restaurants across mainland China have taken a beating as budget-conscious consumers refrain from dining out because of prevailing pessimism about their income amid a shaky economy.

EU wirft Saatgut-Bauern den Großkonzernen zum Fraß vor (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Erklärtes Hauptziel der neuen Verordnung ist die Förderung der Agrobiodiversität, also der Artenvielfalt in der Landwirtschaft. Zur Erreichung all ihrer Ziele kennt die EU bekanntlich stets nur zwei Instrumente: Zentralisierung und Vereinheitlichung. Das ist hier genauso. Und wie auch anderswo nur allzu oft, so wird auch hier durch Zentralisierung und Vereinheitlichung absehbar das Gegenteil von dem erreicht, was man erreichen zu wollen behauptet.. --- Schon jetzt ist der internationale Saatgut-Markt de facto ein Oligopol. Die drei Großkonzerne Bayer, Corteva und Syngenta teilen 52 Prozent des Marktes untereinander auf.. --- Die EU will den kleinen Züchtern nämlich Arbeits- und Tauschverbote auferlegen. Dieser „bürokratische Albtraum“ werde die Sortenvielfalt massiv einschränken, warnt die NGO „Arche Noah“. Auch die Vermarktung neu entwickelter, vielfältiger Getreide- und Ölpflanzensorten werde massiv behindert. Sie sollen dieselben bürokratischen Auflagen erfüllen wie weltweit agierende Großunternehmen..

RFK Jr. Drops 2026 MAHA Agenda To Banish Toxic Food Dyes And Kill Off Processed Poison
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
In a game-changing move that's set to shake up the corrupt food industry, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled his 2026 MAHA agenda – a no-holds-barred assault on the chemicals and loopholes poisoning the health of America.
The agenda, highlighted during a Fox News broadcast, targets eight critical areas: GRAS reform to close loopholes for untested additives, updating dietary guidelines to prioritize real nutrition over junk science, defining ultra-processed foods, front-of-pack labeling for radical transparency, a chemical review overhaul to weed out toxins, banning petroleum-based food dyes linked to hyperactivity and worse, enhancing infant formula safety, and launching a nutrition regulatory science program free from Big Pharma influence.
As highlighted in the segment by FDA Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods Kyle Diamantas, “2026 will be a f...
