Fact of the day

Have you heard of… bread fraud?

While scams today are undoubtedly devastating and intricate, the roots of fraudulent activities run deep in history, and even basic necessities were not spared. In the Middle Ages, bread fraud ran rampant, and dodgy bakers mixed sawdust, chalk, dirt and even arsenic into their products to maximise profits. One baker even inserted iron bars into loaves to make them seem heavier.

WORD OF THE DAY

Mauve

A pale purple. For example, ‘The flowers had delicate shades of mauve.’ Pronounced as MOHV.

Quote of the day

'Laughter really is cheap medicine. It’s a prescription anyone can afford. And best of all, you can fill it right now.'
