The last weekend before the Christmas Eve was not characterized by a good sale in the stores of the center and the faces of the majority of the retailers said everything to it: much people of stroll but few purchases.
“The majority has still not begun to buy and the one that is doing yes it takes to gifts of low price and detallitos”, said yesterday the president of Asunico, Manuel Garci’a. In fact, for this group the Christmas campaign has taken with a 20% less than sale than the past year. “It does not seem that we are in Christmas and the days of rain have been the finishing nail that we needed”, she continued Garci’a.
In spite of the evil beginning of the campaign, the retailers trust a rise of the sales in the next days, when they approach plus the festivals. “We are going to try to arrive at the same level that the last year”, assured the representative Asunico. For that, the retailers are fitting to much the prices and even offering succulent improper discounts of these dates, everything with the intention to foment the consumption.
“What he can”
“The crisis affects everybody. To that it is in unemployment, because it cannot buy and to which is working, because it gives fear him that it needs if it remains in unemployment, as it is the thing”, said yesterday Juan Carlos Durán who, accompanied by Manuel Rock, was of the few that they took yesterday in the morning of some bags by downtown. “The budget is cortito than other years and all we watched plus the prices”, assured putting like example slippers: I have seen “Them in a store 30 Euros but I have watched in other sites until I have bought by ten”, Durán said.
If the clients watch the prices, the retailers do also it, like Koki Forno, of Kontiki, that in the last assures not to have spent through a so loose gust of wind sales 15 years: “I have had myself to look for the life to bring cheaper products without losing quality. The months of October and November have been horrifying because people have still not begun to buy gifts. Before it contracted four people for Christmas and this year I have only been able to take to two”, said.

There are some products (to see graph, more down) in which the increase is scandalous: the onions happen of the 6 pennies that the agriculturist by kilo to 1.04 Euros in the stores receives. An increase of the 1,600%.

The tomato

According to Rural Means, the producers perceive between 34 and 65 pennies by kilo of the fruit and vegetable power stations, that are in charge of the manipulation, packaging and shipment. These, as well sell, it to the wholesale markets by a price among 0.68 and 1.06 Euros. The markets receive the product and they are as well sold it to the stores: new step and already is reached between 0.83 and 1.31 Euros. And client pays the final it, once including a 4% of IVA, to between 1.10 and 1.91 Euros the kilo, more of the triple than what received the agriculturist.

I to it do not say. He assures it convinced famous and mediatic cook Sergi Arola, with whom the past week I had the opportunity to agree in interesting conferences on life and feeding organized by the Foundation Felix Rodriguez of the Source in the Ignited House of Madrid.

To the question of how consuming being respectful with the environment, Sergi responds that the secret is in eating in a balanced fashion “and the Mediterranean diet totally is balanced”, due to its wealth and to the great variety of animal and vegetal products compose that it. For that reason it assures without flesh color:

“Our grandmothers cooked very many better than anyone of us”.

Why? Then because they had much than we have lost kill time, especially time to make stews wonderful to untimed fire, using near, fresh, healthy products, of quality.

Like moderator of their conference, the arguments of chef surprised to me pleasingly. A customary person to the great luxuries was to us very sensitized with the environmental and social problems of our malherido planet. Something very important since the great cooks, like the sportsmen of elite or the famous actors, have become prescribers of our society, in models to follow.

With the aim of shaping these ideas in the day to day of its restaurants, chef Catalan has created its particular decalogue of the “echo-gourmet”. 10 ideas to be an environmentally responsible cook:

1. To foment the local, originating product consumption of small producers that use respectful techniques with the environment.

2. To maintain as main axis at the time of designing a plate the textures of the traditional kitchen.

3. To support the production of agricultural and cattle varieties in extinction danger, better if they are of ecological origin.

4. To change of products based on the seasonality, that as minimum must suppose the 80 percent of the menu. It is not possible to be eaten tomatos or oranges all the year.

5. To reject species in risk of extinction like the red tuna, the too small caviar or shark, or units (pezqueñines).

6. Not to make use of speculative products of extreme luxury, like the white truffles.

7. To incorporate new cooking techniques (evolutionary gastronomy) from a reflective process.

8. To replace great letters by menus, thus to reduce the amount of foods that in the end finish in the sweepings.

9. To as much foment the education of the professional as of the client. It is necessary to learn to eat.

10. To be sufficiently honest like leaving to the profession the day in which it is not enjoyed her.
