The company is in the process of installing a pasteurization line. The pasteurization equipment looks like something out of the future, with unusual filtering equipment and electrical hookups. The pasteurizer has a quick-dry function that can sterilize without changing the color or flavor. It is also used with chia, a crop that is imported from Peru and other sources, and can be used for for herbs.

An increase in average guest check year over year continues to fuel positive sales growth for restaurants. “Guest check growth accelerated in October,” said Fernandez. “At 3.0 percent, check growth during October was the highest we’ve seen in the last three years. Many brands have been raising their menu prices throughout the year, use of promotions to drive traffic may be slowing down and strong consumer confidence plus raising wages may be motivating consumers to spend a more when they dine out. Likely, we are seeing a combination of several or all of these factors.”

Over half of UK workers (57 percent) said the introduction of tech-led loyalty schemes that could offer more personalised deals would lead them to visit their workplace canteen more often. At present, only 15 percent of workplace canteens provide any sort of loyalty scheme to office workers.

The softly spoken Marannano, 33, remembers the day in 1992 when prosecutor Paolo Borsellino was murdered by a car bomb in Palermo. “I was eight years old and coming back from the beach with my father. We saw my cousin in the street and he threw himself across the car to tell us. I will never forget it. I think, for those of us who lived through this at that age, it had more impact.”

White Rabbit candy is famous in China — Premier Zhou Enlai gave Richard Nixon a bag during his historic visit in 1972 — but the wrapper hasn’t always featured the well-known rabbit. The soft, vanilla-and-milk-flavored candy was reportedly first introduced in 1943 with a Mickey Mouse figure on the packaging, but by the late ’50s, candy companies were being nationalized, and Western imagery was a political no-go. In its 75-year history, the candy has become popular around the world. In 2008, when an incident involving melamine-tainted milk shook China, production shut down for several months to ensure the candy was safe to eat, though in Singapore, consumers were told they could eat 47 pieces daily before experiencing ill effects. Ten years later, the company makes the candies with only imported milk powder from New Zealand.

I will receive many scarves. Some are tenderly crafted from scraps of that plastic wool they make from recycled garbage bags. Others are elegant: a pashmina, the same pashmina and another lovely pashmina almost the same as the other pashminas. Plus the most exquisite hand-knit creation from an HIV sufferer, laced and studded with hundreds of tiny pearl beads appliquéd by hand. Patients crochet huge afghans for my cozy nest in front of the TV at home. They know I’ll be muttering about the cold soon, they crochet socks and slippers and a tiny purple jacket for my iPhone.

When asked what is important during their lunch break, a third of workers with a workplace canteen (32 percent) say cheap prices and value for money is critical when buying food from their workplace canteen. Currently a similar proportion (28 percent) don’t believe they are getting enough value for money – nor are they being rewarded in any way for their regular custom at workplace canteens.

At Unpackt, co-founders Florence Tay and Jeff Lam aim to change all of that. Nestled along a row of shops in the quiet Sembawang Hills estate, this two month-old shop is Singapore’s first zero-waste supermarket. What this means is an elimination of waste — namely packaging — along the entire supply chain, from supplier to consumer. On Tay and Lam’s side, they request for suppliers to reuse packaging from their previous bulk purchases. Customers at Unpackt on the other hand, are required to bring their own containers when shopping at Unpackt. For those who’ve forgotten to bring their own containers, fret not, shelves of donated containers are available for use, with new donations always welcome.

I resealed the bag of hearts and replaced them in the shopping bag. I haven’t touched any licorice since.

"That's when they really took off," Flaten said. "Pulses became eligible for federal crop insurance. All of a sudden farmers were able to have a loan rate which set a floor price on pulses similar to your traditional wheat and barley."
