The document summarizes an interview with Adriano Farano, co-founder of CafeBabel.com, on France Inter radio. Farano discusses CafeBabel.com as the first European current affairs online magazine, translated into six languages to facilitate pan-European debate. He says the "Erasmus generation" he belongs to sees themselves as European citizens with shared issues to discuss, beyond national borders. Bernard Guetta comments that someone like Farano, who sees themselves as a European citizen with a nationality, shows the European utopia is realistic despite Euro-skeptics claiming otherwise.

1. We all love bread.
As an Italian, it’s a matter of pride.

2. But when I got my third child,
I started questioning my food
assumptions

3. Many smart friends were going
gluten free.

4. But I… could loose my passport.

5. So, I started digging — is bre
health or is it today’s bread tha
One day, I asked myself:
Is bread per se unhealthy or is it
today’s bread that makes us sick?

6. As an ex-journalist, I started
reading and interviewing
experts. Here’s what I learned:

7. The food industry created
hybrid varieties of wheat that are
easier to bake and harder to
digest than ancient varieties.

8. Each harvest needs 150 kilos of
chemical fertilizers per hectare.

9. Then, they are stripped of the best
part of the grain to create white flour.

10. Finally, they’re fermented too fast.

11. So the issue is not gluten,
it’s the food industry.

12. But there’s a better way

13. Make bread alive again
Ancient grains
1
Whole milling Natural fermentation
2 3

14. Ancient grains
Less gluten
No fertilizers
More minerals

15. Whole milling
100% of the grain is preserved
with all minerals & oils

16. Natural fermentation
Our 132-year old levain releases all
wheat’s nutrients into our bodies.

17. We work with independent farmers
from Southern Italy where durum
wheat is an affair of millennia.

18. We will license our bread protocols
to the world’s best bakeries.

19. We will eradicate bread that
makes us sick by 2040.

20. Mi ch Adriano Farano.
