《關於吃的閱讀 -- 3之1》
在一個預備年貨和年夜飯的時節中,來閱讀關於吃的一些書籍。第一本就是關於我們熟悉的生鮮超市,以及它的黑暗秘密。
"Food is the business of eating,grocery we'll see, that's completely different," it's the business of desire"
"食物,是關於餐飲業的話題,而生鮮食品,我們會發現是完全不同的,他是一個關於欲望的生意”
我閱讀這本書的速度比以往都慢,一方面因為作者很細膩的描寫每一個採訪的對話,讓人感覺置身其中。另一方面,是因為生鮮零售業是這麼一個生活中理所當然的存在,當作者深入剖析到其中每一環的時候,包括採購選貨,物流運輸,生鮮維運,以及進口食品來源等等,其中的種種黑暗面都會讓讀者深刻反思,以“競爭”為名的剝削,要物美價廉然後講求時效方便,這一切的代價是誰來償付的呢?
書本一開始用簡短的篇幅述說美式賣場超市的出現,如何引發許多新發明 (運輸用的紙盒,食品品牌,超市推車,零售業動線規劃,等等。在大者恆大的競爭態勢當中,我很喜歡作者用 “Trader Joe's" 這個例子。這家生鮮零售店在美國以外比較沒有名,但它可是全美所有零售業者中單位平方英尺獲利最高的公司之一,僅次於Apple Store 和 Tiffany 蒂凡妮珠寶店。他刻意語大公司競爭策略避開,完全是從如何創造最高面積價值的方式來選擇銷售的品項。創辦人想像他所面對的消費者,跟以往不同,是一群受過“被過度教育” (他強調但是不見得“過度聰明”的年輕人),他們不再只是尋找最低價格二是要透過購買來表達他們的價值理念(有那麼一絲理想主義文青的概念)。他在早期如何透過紅酒的策略有著不錯的獲利成績。再來就是與產地直接推出掛名品牌的特殊產品。然後,也在無法與大公司價格競爭之於創造出一些特別的品項(例如因為花生醬價格無法競爭就自行開發了杏仁醬。後來反而成為他們的暢銷獨門產品)
裡面也有一段講到自動化帶來的巨大便利性,以及看不見的代價。作者回到汽車業最開始美國車廠,如何用更大的腹地並垂直整合原物料,來製造便宜的汽車說起。日本汽車廠因為沒有這些先天的條件而感到岌岌可危。當年TOYOTA的一名工程師到美國超市大賣場之後,被那樣的場景震懾了,也同樣激發期所謂JIT (即時製造)流程的靈感),反而讓日系車廠因著效率,而成為世界汽車製造業後來最有競爭力的一群。美國人看到了這樣的做法當然也爭相模仿。可是如果把這一套思考方式帶到人力密集的產業之中,就有一個很大的問題。因為人不能像零件或是原物料那樣隨傳隨到,人必須有一定程度的工作保障才能夠養家活口。書中講到了許多美國大型零售商的勞資糾紛,看到許多人好像再怎麼努力,都無法離貧窮或是負債太遠,真的能夠體會近年來美國內部因加劇的貧富不均所引發的怒吼,真的是非常可以理解的。
這本書另外很特別的一點,是作者花5年的時間為了真實了解大型零售超市生態圈的各個層面,他親身參與在第一線的工作。包括花數月的時間與貨車司機朝夕相處,參與運送的過程 (然後在那個漫漫的長途運送過程中聽司機的故事)。他成為美國大型知名生鮮超市的實習倉儲員工,與那些無法負擔學生貸款,充滿期待加入這個行業的人一起走一段路。還有每年無數多新食品發明的創業者,他與其中一位保持數年的聯絡,看見她散盡存款,挨家挨戶的推銷產品(“會改變你人生的一款沾醬!”),卻依然保持120分的熱情持續往前,直到逐漸嶄露頭角。還有前往泰國魚村,認識從人口販賣奴隸漁業制度黑暗中,逃出來的人的現身說法。
很多書中提出的觀點一時無法消化,也不太能想到身為一個消費者立即能夠做些什麼。但觀察著在台灣身邊的這些傳統市場不斷轉型進步,以及一些與小農合作的新創企業,覺得“有社會責任地消費”的意識越來越普及時,也會有越來越多人思考要如何改變,真正透過我們的消費行為傳達心中的價值。相信這些努力,在一些消費者的支持下,在5年,10年,20年的期間,應該可以創造出一個更健康平衡的食品零售樣貌。
“零售很大的成份是在反映著整個社會, 關於人們在思考什麼,想要什麼,以及尋找什麼。根本的來說人類總是在尋找意義,而我們把消費當成一個重要的表達方式”
"Retail is a giant reflection of society, what people are thinking and wanting and looking for. Fundamentally I think we are meaning seeking species, and I think we place a lot of meaning in consumption"

【#迷上英式英文】英國首相Boris Johnson宣布全英禁足演說:"In this fight each and every one of us is enlisted"
演說全文:
Good Evening,
The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades – and this country is not alone.
All over the world we are seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.
And so tonight I want to update you on the latest steps we are taking to fight the disease and what you can do to help.
And I want to begin by reminding you why the UK has been taking the approach that we have.
Without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope; because there won’t be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses.
And as we have seen elsewhere, in other countries that also have fantastic health care systems, that is the moment of real danger.
To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it - meaning more people are likely to die, not just from Coronavirus but from other illnesses as well.
So it’s vital to slow the spread of the disease.
Because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time, so we can protect the NHS’s ability to cope - and save more lives.
And that’s why we have been asking people to stay at home during this pandemic.
And though huge numbers are complying - and I thank you all - the time has now come for us all to do more.
From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction - you must stay at home.
Because the critical thing we must do is stop the disease spreading between households.
That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes:
shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible
one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household;
any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and
travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home.
That’s all - these are the only reasons you should leave your home.
You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No.
You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home.
You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine - and you should do this as little as you can. And use food delivery services where you can.
If you don’t follow the rules the police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings.
To ensure compliance with the Government’s instruction to stay at home, we will immediately:
close all shops selling non-essential goods, including clothing and electronic stores and other premises including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms, and places of worship;
we will stop all gatherings of more than two people in public – excluding people you live with;
and we’ll stop all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but excluding funerals.
Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed.
No Prime Minister wants to enact measures like this.
I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and to their jobs.
And that’s why we have produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business.
And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to.
But at present there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost.
And yet it is also true that there is a clear way through.
Day by day we are strengthening our amazing NHS with 7500 former clinicians now coming back to the service.
With the time you buy - by simply staying at home - we are increasing our stocks of equipment.
We are accelerating our search for treatments.
We are pioneering work on a vaccine.
And we are buying millions of testing kits that will enable us to turn the tide on this invisible killer.
I want to thank everyone who is working flat out to beat the virus.
Everyone from the supermarket staff to the transport workers to the carers to the nurses and doctors on the frontline.
But in this fight we can be in no doubt that each and every one of us is directly enlisted.
Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together.
To halt the spread of this disease.
To protect our NHS and to save many many thousands of lives.
And I know that as they have in the past so many times.
The people of this country will rise to that challenge.
And we will come through it stronger than ever.
We will beat the coronavirus and we will beat it together.
And therefore I urge you at this moment of national emergency to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives.
Thank you.

Kalau ayah tak ambik berat,lelaki lain akan buat..
Sampai satu masa,anak perempuan akan datang perasaan segan dengan ayah.Ada sesetengah perkara yang dia rasa cuma boleh cakap dengan mak sahaja.
Selalunya masalah ni lagi kritikal kalau waktu kecilnya ayah jarang luang masa berkualiti dengan anak-anak perempuan.
Ada tak bermaksud ada.
Tubuh ada.Tapi main handphone,tak berbual,tak tanya khabar,tak peluk cium,tak ajar mengaji,takda buat aktiviti apa pun dengan anak...sama macam tiada.
Anak-anak faham kalau ayah memang tiada dirumah.Tapi,kalau ada macam tiada,memang boleh mengundang bahaya.
Masalah kritikal ni lebih meruncing kalau sudahlah ayah jarang luang masa berkualiti bersama,anak cuma asyik ditegur dan dimarah.Mereka makin menjauh hati.
Simpan semua gadjet.Televisyen juga.
Banyakkan beraktiviti dengan anak perempuan.
Main kad,bersukan,melukis,ajar anak baiki paip,pergi pasar.
~Supaya dia tak cari aktiviti diluar rumah dengan orang lain.
Banyakkan memuji anak perempuan.
'Awak cantik'.
'Pandai masak nasi'.
'Suka tolong ibu'.
'Pandai jaga adik.'
~Supaya dia tak termakan pujian lelaki lain.
Banyakkan beli hadiah untuk anak perempuan.
Tudung,barang sekolah,mainan,barang keperluan.
~Supaya dia tak rasa ingin dengan hadiah dari tangan orang lain.
Banyakkan pegang tangan anak perempuan masa berjalan.
Di pasaraya,ke masjid,diatas jalanan,di tempat orang ramai.
~Supaya tidak lagi rasa perlu untuk dapat perlindungan dari lelaki lain.
Biasakan bergurau dan menasihati anak perempuan dengan kata-kata yang baik dan manis.
'Kakak wanita solehah'.
'Tutuplah aurat elok-elok'.
'Nanti malaikat lindung'.
'Allah sayang sebab kakak budak baik'.
~Supaya hatinya sentiasa diisi dengan tarbiah yang tak putus sebagai peringatan dari seorang ayah.
Biasakan teman anak perempuan ke tandas awam.
Tempat asing,stesyen minyak,rumah orang,pasaraya.
~Supaya dia rasa ayah sentiasa ada untuk jaga keselamatan dia.
Nampak macam dimanjakan dan tak pandai jaga diri sendiri.
Tapi ironinya...
Anak perempuan yang dekat dengan ayah selalunya lebih kuat semangat dan berani.Mereka tahu ayah mereka akan sentiasa jadi pelindung dan penyokong mereka yang paling utama.
Yang benar,
Seorang Ummi.

If dad doesn't take weight, other men will do it..
For one time, girls will come to feelings of shame with dad. There are some things he feels can only talk to his mother.
This problem is often critical if when he was a child dad rarely spent quality time with the girls.
There is no meaning to exist.
The body exists. But playing with handphone, not chatting, not asking about news, not hugging kisses, not teaching, not doing any activity with children... same as nothing.
Kids understand that dad is not home. But, if there is nothing, it can invite danger.
This critical problem is more greedy if dad rarely spends quality time together, the child is always reprimanded and scolded. They're getting away with the heart.
Keep all the gadgets. Television as well.
Have a lot of activities with girls.
Play cards, sports, draw, teach kids to fix pipes, go to market.
~ So that he doesn't look for activities outside the house with others.
More praising the daughter.
'You are beautiful'.
'Good at cooking rice'.
'Like to help mom'.
' Be smart to take care of brother. ' '
~ So he doesn't eat other men's praise.
More gifts for girls.
Hoods, school items, toys, needs.
~ So that he doesn't feel like wanting to be gifts from other people's hands.
Hold more hands of girls while walking.
At the market, to the mosque, on the streets, in the public places.
~ In order to no longer feel the need to get protection from another man.
Get used to joking and advising a daughter with kind and sweet words.
'Solehah'.
'Cover the aurat well'.
'Later the guardian angel'.
' Allah loves you because you're a good boy '.
~ So that his heart is always filled with unbroken tarnish as a reminder from a father.
Get used to my daughter's friend to the public toilet.
Foreign places, oil stations, people's houses, supermarket.
~ So that he thinks daddy is always there to keep his safety.
Looks pampered and can't take care of yourself.
But the iron is...
Daughter close to dad is always stronger and courageous. They know their dad will always be their ultimate protector and supporter.
For real,
A Ummi.

We've been wanting to Vlog the experience of going to the supermarket
But to the shop and to stay clean and to film all at the same time just seems like a load of effort and a load of worry
Having seen Dr. Jeffrey VanWingen's vlog about cleaning groceries inspired us to show you how we do it (how Jason does it)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCldCyQOF-hwkVXEsF5-oRFg
It's actually much more easy-going now, since the situation in Hong Kong seems to be somewhat under control
Nevertheless it's always good to be prepared, and it never hurt to do a little more (if you can)
You should take what we say with a pinch of salt
Jason does like to clean, more accurately, Jason used to like doing a bit of cleaning
Jason: I think I've done enough cleaning for a good many years, I'm looking forward to not cleaning anything soon
Sarah: not true, he's pretty OCD, pretty meaning "extremely, top 5%, cannot be saved "OCD, so you tell me if he'll ever stop cleaning???
Have a lovely lovely weekend
Happy Mother's Day
Maybe you can all do the dishes for your mothers or your wives or the future mother of your kids… You know what we mean???
