Grocery shopping tips: Spoiled fruit and vegetables?

Employees of the magazine "Markt" (on NDR television) have discovered rotten and moldy fruit and vegetables on the shelves of large grocery chains. Our shopping tip for fresh food: take a close look at the food before you buy it and do the pressure test. If you have accidentally bought rotten goods, complain about them promptly - the supermarket must exchange them!

Greenpeace: Never again salmon & co.

The environmental protection organization Greenpeace recently examined the stocks of 115 fish species. The result: almost all species are overfished, at least in parts of the world. Only carp can still be eaten with a clear conscience. But don't worry - we don't have to give up other types of fish completely. Rather, we should pay attention to the type of catch and origin: For example, salmon from the north-east Pacific, which is caught in the Gulf of Alaska using purse seines, trolling or set nets, is ecologically acceptable.
Yellowfin tuna from five fishing areas in the Pacific is just as acceptable as sea bream from the Mediterranean or brown trout from Germany.
