Verkoop "stoom"-frituur HiFri verloopt moeizaam

Netherlands, January 29, 2010

HiFri stoom-frituur
De verkoop van de verleden jaar door Adriaan Verdaasdonk geïntroduceerde ‘stoom’-frituur HiFri verloopt moeizaam. Volgens Verdaasdonk door de lastige economische situatie.

Verdaasdonk zegt op de website FD.nl (Financieele Dagblad) dat bedrijven door de crisis minder bereid zijn te investeren. 'We hebben klanten gehad die hadden toegezegd en vervolgens 30 procent van de werknemers op straat moesten zetten. Dan kopen ze geen apparaat van euro 10.000, ondanks de terugverdientijd van nog geen 2,5 jaar.'

De ondernemer verwacht dat vanwege de toenemende focus op gezonde voeding de machine uiteindelijk wel zal gaan verkopen.

BBC: Time to rethink the potato?

United Kingdom, January 29, 2010

Potato Nutrition
The Potato Council is trying to garner support for its campaign to reclassify the tuber as a "supercarb" - recognising its "unique dual identity" as both carbohydrate and vegetable.

A petition is being put to Downing Street asking for such recognition amid what the industry body believes is widespread confusion about the health benefits of the spud.

Are the potato people on to something, or simply trying to bamboozle the health-conscious with a new but meaningless name?
