According to a new ruling by the Irish Supreme court, the bread served at US sandwich chain Subway can't be defined as bread because of how much sugar it contains.

The case rested on whether the bread for Subway’s sandwiches counts as a staple food and therefore is VAT-exempt.

The bread’s sugar content – five times the qualifying limit under Ireland’s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972 – means that it falls outside of the legal definition of a staple food. The definition serves to differentiate bread from other baked goods.

This isn't Subway's first slice of controversy. In 2014, Subway decided to start removing the flour whitening agent azodicarbonamide from its baked goods after a petition circulated online. The ingredient is commonly used in the manufacture of yoga mats and carpet underlay and has been banned by the European Union and Australia from use in food products.

아일랜드 고등법원의 판결에 따르면, 서브웨이 샌드위치는 설탕이 너무 많이 들어가서 빵으로 분류되지 않음. 다른 제과종류가 아니라 주식으로서의 빵은 부가가치세 적용대상에서 제외되는데, 1972년도 세법기준으로 5배나 더 많은 설탕이 들어서 (탈세)논란의 여지가 있음. 서브웨이가 문제된 건 이번이 처음이 아님. 요가매트나 카펫제조에나 쓰여서 유럽과 호주의 식품제조에선 금지된 표백제를 사용한 게 문제돼서 2014년이 되어서나 해당성분을 안 쓰기로 결정했음.

“They took the drums away!” the dancers of “Drumfolk” chant from the stage of the @NewVictoryTheater, where @StepAfrika performs through March 15. The Washington-based company, formed by C. Brian Williams (@safounder) specializes in stepping, a percussive dance form that uses the body as an instrument. Inspired by the Stono Rebellion of 1739 that led to the Negro Act of 1740, which restricted enslaved people’s use of drums, “Drumfolk” delves into the development of stepping alongside traditions like ring shout and tap. This section focuses on “different body percussive traditions,” Brian said. “We have the tambourine, we have the stamping stick, and we have the body.” In this 90-minute work, Step Afrika! expands its possibilities. “We’re using step as part of a narrative and really exploring the form and the movement as a practice,” Brian told the #nytimes dance critic @giadk. “There’s precision, and it’s not just the feet. The voice and all parts of the body are engaged. There are so many different ways to play with it.” @mosadek made this video for #SpeakingInDance, our weekly series exploring the world of #dance.

🌿 Depuis le début du confinement, des images montrent que l’arrêt de l’activité humaine permet à la planète de gagner un peu de répit.
격리가 시작되면서, 인간의 활동이 멈추자 지구가 조금 숨을 쉴수 있게 됐음을 사진이 보여준다.

Ainsi, les habitants des grandes villes ont redécouvert avec bonheur le gazouillis des oiseaux.
이와 같이, 대도시 거주자들은 새소리를 기쁘게 듣게 됐다.

Des sangliers ont été aperçus à Barcelone, ce jeune puma s’est aventuré dans les rues de Santiago du Chili, des dauphins se rassemblent en Méditerranée...

영국 안위크 성에 있는 독초정원에선 약 100여종의 독초가 자란다. 치명적인 나이크셰이드부터 헴록까지, 이 정원에 뿌리내린 식물은 인간에게 유독하다.

이 정원은 영국 노썸버랜드의 고성에 있는 워가든에 위치

노썸버랜드 공작부인의 아이디어로

그냥 허브정원보단

더 흥미를 끌고자 독초정원을 만들기로 한 것.

사람들은 독초에 흥미를 느끼고 들어갔다가 나와서야 걱정.

식물이 인간에게 끼치는 어마어마한 영향력을 사람들은 잘 모름.

Despite their striking colour, female mountain bluebirds are not interested in vanity. When finding a partner, they are more interested in a mate who has made a quality nest in a top location. They disregard any of his other attributes of singing, flying or appearance.⁣
.⁣겉으로 보기엔 화려해도 암컷 파랑새는 허영심엔 관심없다. 짝을 찾을 때 높은 곳에 둥지를 잘 짓는 수컷에 관심을 갖는다. 노래, 비행, 혹은 외모는 신경 안 쓴다.
