On December 13, 2016, a regulation came into force in the European Union, i.e. also in Slovenia, requiring food producers to label the nutritional value of foods. This means that from now on all prepackaged foods will have nutritional information. On the packaging, manufacturers will have to provide information on the energy value, amount of carbohydrates, total and saturated fats, salt, sugars and proteins. Only information on the amount of dietary fiber, which is not (yet) mandatory, has been omitted.

A distorted view of the world: after seeing these maps, you will never look at the world the same again!

Did you know that our picture of the world is distorted? After seeing these photos, you will never look at the world the same again! The reason why some countries on the map are larger or smaller than others, even though they are not, is the antediluvian transverse Mercator projection or. a cylindrical map projection in which meridians and parallels are straight lines that intersect at right angles, and which allowed mariners to plot their course as straight lines. The result of transferring the surface of the Earth to paper is today's misconception of the size of some parts of the world. The projection of the three-dimensional world on paper has its price, and we pay it with a distorted picture of the world even today, even though the maritime industry no longer uses classic maps for navigation. That is why such cards are still hanging in schools and, among other things, falsely create the impression that Russia and the USA are so big.
