From eco bread to ego thinking
February 4, 2010 by S
Words “retro” and “eco” have definitely lost their valuable meaning to lead ones thoughts to something like preserved old granma’s goods or “mind the bushes”- like thinking. Now when even driving a car can be counted as a green action the words green and eco are loose and often misused and taken. Not going into too details with Finnish common greenish politics, where the attitude and the view to energy policy has been the more and the cheaper the merrier. Anyway..I was just wondering when bread became ecological (there is a new driving commercial on buses in the town)? Producers, are you sure you don’t mean organic, or do you really want to say that your bread product is the study of the life? hmm..I think this is interesting how media and international companies try to lure us into believing that everything with an original label, a piece of rough paper our goods are rapped in or a hemp sign on a jar is the natural product. There is or at least there will be a big fight of customers in the future, once markets are boiling with green organic near produced fresh tofu. Being wise with one’s consuming habits doing a decision and standing for it later on too – if something, that is sustainable consuming. No matter whether you want your bread eco or tofus local. I’m sure there is no way I could save and recover the words retro and ecological from their own inflation for my own sale purposes. So maybe relating eco to ego would work out better on a market of status updated people.
Fresh wakening in Helsinki has risen already at Lasipalatsi since last summer. Eat&Joy Maatilatori brings eco and the local farmers near and makes it attainable..not forgetting Ruohonjuuri in Kamppi nor Ekokolo in Hakaniemi. And as a commercial I want to inform people with interests to order organic and near produced foods to contact me to join a well organized food district.
Mørgenstedet is the famous veggie restaurant in Christiania (Cph) and anyway the Danes knew fairly long ago how to do it (http://copenhagen.unlike.net/locations/301046-Morgenstedet#)
Interesting article!
I think you might like Spotted by Locals Copenhagen – a cityblog by CPH locals with many more eco-places!
My favorite on this website is Riz Raz:

I certainly do like the spottedbylocals blog indeed. Wish Helsinki could give a good response for that in the near future.
And about Riz Raz..you could easily smell and see the lunch buffet to the street, which just leads you in!
