Food for Thought - Moldy Bread

Recently, we found a bread we like.  The bread from a local bakery tastes good with butter and cheese.  I do not know why the organic sprouted wheat flour would be better for us than the regular whole wheat ones.  But this one made with sprouted whole wheat and other organic goodies pleases our taste buds.  So we were looking forward to enjoying this simple pleasure for a long time to come.

Unfortunately, our relation with this newly found favorite was short-lived.

The other night, when I was ready for a piece of toast, I found green blotches on a fresh loaf that we had just bought a couple of days ago.  The mold on the bread made with organic goodies became very uninviting.  It can also  make me sick if I had ingested any of it with the fungal growth unknowingly.  So, I had no choice but threw the moldy bread into the composting bin.

This bread incident made me wanting to go back living in the old days when no one threw foods away.  -   Ayee

Generous Boss

Over the last few days, there  are a few pieces of encouraging news. As of yesterday, we had another billionaire to join Warren Buffet's club.  The member of the club must pledge to give half of their billionaires to charity.  

And yesterday, I   learned from the Nightly Business Report on PBS that one of American companies is prepared to pay colleague tuition for the kids of their employees.  The young Chieh Huang, CEO  of  Boxed, an online foods distributor, told the reporters that education makes difference in his life. 

Humbly speaking,  I totally agreed with Mr. Huang's thinking on education.  This is why I wanted to include this news in my blog.  As we all know, to most of us,  education is the power that leads to everything.  Let us hope more corporate America will follow the lead of Mr. Huang's good doing.  -  Ayee
