Fast food

The horse meat fiasco can be seen as such for two reasons. First is the disquiet some people have at eating horse unknowingly. The second is the fact that meat that may not have passed the usual controls has been used in the manufacture of processed food and that this may have been done on a large scale with criminal intent. The real issue is the fact that so much processed food is being consumed and that people have lost touch with healthy food preparation and consumption. Healthy fast food is possible and an example of this was on the village market this morning. The vats of food prepared are just an upscaled version of home cooking, using proper ingredients for consumption on the same day. The menu each week is the same, paella or boles de picolat (meat balls and beans in an olive and tomato sauce).
