Lots of people think going gluten-free is stupid if you don’t have celiac disease or a non-celiac wheat sensitivity, sure. But let’s all get off our high horses for a second and say that sometimes, very occasionally, a gluten-free substitute is better than the food it’s trying to mimic.

It can be easy to dismiss issues of representation in the abstract. Casting Scarlett Johansson as the lead in Ghost In The Shell was portrayed as part of the business, and many who criticized it as whitewashing were told they were over-reacting. After all, “it’s just a movie.” But as one video shows, there’s nothing…

Os Japoneses criaram a Coca-Cola Plus, uma nova versão do refrigerante mais famoso do mundo que chega no final de março no Japão (você pode pedir pela Amazon).
Mas o que faz com que a Plus seja considerada saudável? Vem ver!
A Coca-Cola Plus não tem açúcar (substituído por aspartame) e não tem calorias. Além de tudo, a principal novidade é a presença de fibras na bebida: são 5 gramas de dextrina em cada garrafa. Beber uma Coca-Cola Plus por dia (idealmente em 3 etapas) junto com alguma refeição deverá reduzir a absorção de gordura e ainda moderar o nível de triglicérides no sangue após a refeição (mencionam uma redução de até 7%).
Do ponto de vista mercadológico, o lançamento tem o objetivo de introduzir a marca na arena dos refrigerantes com bloqueador de gordura como a Mets Zero ou a Pepsi Special. O target são pessoas acima dos 40 anos.
No Japão, a marca não está chamando o produto de “bebida saudável” – já que o refrigerante continua a ser um produto artificial e industrializado. Preferem a expressão “Tokuho Coca”, como são classificados a alimentos e bebidas usados para um uso específico. No caso, seria a fibra presente na bebida o diferencial.
A versão Plus já teve uma breve passagem pelo Japão em 2009, com uma taxa ainda maior de fibras. Mas saiu de circulação logo depois. Agora, volta reformulada, com nova embalagem branca, com detalhes em vermelho e o “zero” destacado.

Making rope is hard. Making rope the way the Vikings did it over a thousand years ago is even harder. First, you have to find the right tree. Then, you have to strip the bark of the tree when the sap is rising. And then, you soak the bark you just harvested in the sea for three to four months before you can even think about turning it into rope.
