In the Victorian language of flowers magnolia symbolises fortitude, a love of nature, and magnificence. In folk magic, it is said to guard true love and fidelity. A branch placed near or beneath the bed was believed to keep both partners faithful to one another. #FolkloreThursday

Japan is leading the way in protecting children's health by completely eliminating processed foods and artificial additives from school cafeterias.
The country is spearheading a global movement toward superior nutrition by removing all processed and ultra-processed items from school menus. In their place, students now enjoy fresh, traditional, seasonal Japanese dishes prepared daily from scratch—emphasizing whole, natural ingredients over convenience foods.
This is far more than just a dietary change; it's a comprehensive national strategy to educate the next generation about the true value of balanced, wholesome nutrition. By prioritizing quality over quick fixes, Japan is cultivating lifelong healthy eating habits that start right in the school cafeteria.
Japan's dedication to food purity extends well beyond schools. The nation enforces some of the world's strictest regulations on food additives, preservatives, and chemical colorings—many of which are common in Western processed snacks and beverages. International brands must reformulate products like cereals, candies, and soft drinks to comply with these rigorous standards.
Additionally, Japan maintains tight controls on food imports, including strict bans or high certification requirements for meat products and a strong emphasis on the JAS organic label. These measures protect against diseases, industrial contaminants, and unsafe practices, reinforcing Japan's global reputation for having among the highest food safety and quality standards worldwide.

17 Dec: Saturnalia, held 17th–23rd December, was the Romans’ midwinter festival marked by gift-giving, feasting, and role reversal between masters and slaves. It is thought mistletoe may have been hung over doorways during the festivities to bring peace and good fortune. #history
