Buying the real made in Italy is not easy, on the contrary, and it is even more difficult to make an "ecological" purchase of non-polluting or, better, not too polluting Italian products, materials and objects. Why is it difficult? Because globalization dates back at least 30 years, it was in fact strongly desired above all by Ronald Reagan, implemented by Bill Clinton but above all managed by the two presidents of the wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan, the Bushes. And, for this reason it is very difficult to defend ourselves: we often buy a dress, a food, any object that bears the inscription made in Italy but in most cases the inscription lies shamelessly. Even more mind if he calls himself "bio". As for other countries, the German standards, for example, allow for the affirmation that a product is made in Germany even if it was packed in Germany. And they know something about it, for example the Italian manufacturers of valves and thermo-hydraulic components that for years have seen orders from German import-export multinationals with very low prices (of course, it's Chinese stuff) but with the very powerful appeal of the made in Germany. Made in Germany are also many household appliances that a German manufacturer had to withdraw because they were defective, manufactured outside Germany and indeed manufactured outside Europe. And if you have the misfortune of buying a made in England especially of a food nature, be careful: it is most likely Asian, of poor quality since it has a bargain price.
And do we call it made in Germany or made in Italy?
There is very little bio
Now we reveal the true story and the true path of what we buy in supermarkets where globalization is sowing massacres of original, local, quality products. And above all Italians. In 90% of cases, any food product – we are talking about products on sale in multinational supermarkets – spends its so-called life traveling and once in the fridge, as very often happens, it risks going bad if you do not consume it immediately. Pay attention: let's take the strawberry yogurt, the best-selling it seems. The German scholar Stéphanie Böge has analyzed with great care the distances traveled by all the components of the yoghurt, from the packaging to the strawberry, from the milk to the sugar, from the plastic to the labels… Stephanie has composed the trajectory of the transport of each of these components and a terrifying logistics came out: that yogurt, like many other products, traveled 9.115 km before entering the fridge.
And we call it organic?
