Seriously, tinfoil hat originated from a movie in which that funny British actor wazzisname played a psychiatrist...

I think tinfoil goes way back. I remember hearing that schizophrenics would use it to stop the government (or aliens) from reading their thoughts.

I FORMAGGI
dal latte di buon pascolo
i formaggi più pregiati

Dal latte al formaggio
Formaggi e nutrizione
Mappa dei formaggi
più tipici

DAL LATTE AL FORMAGGIO

Il latte, di buon pascolo, e soprattutto quel suo derivato assai egregio che è il formaggio, viene oggigiorno sempre più proposto dai nutrizionisti per assicurare all'organismo proteine alternative pregiate, che l’opinione dell’uomo della strada reputa abbondanti solo nelle carni. La carne ha sì proteine, cioè i principi nutritivi di base dell'alimentazione, le sostanze che, essendo "plastiche" per eccellenza, rafforzano la carrozzeria umana nella fase di accrescimento evolutivo, riparando le usure giornaliere in ogni organo e apparato. Ma proteine ha anche il latte e, in grande concentrazione, un buon formaggio. Per buon formaggio ha da intendersi un delicato prodotto dell’arte casearia, a partire dalla materia prima, che è il latte.

Quanto migliore è la qualità del latte, tanto risulta ottimale il prodotto della caseificazione. La qualità dei pascoli rappresentano un fattore determinante per le mucche da latte. La fragranza dei pascoli si trasfonde in quel latte, e da questo passa al burro, al formaggio, alle ricotte.


FORMAGGI e NUTRIZIONE

I formaggi sono alimenti ottenuti dal latte intero o parzialmente scremato o scremato, in seguito a coagulazione acida o presamica (ad opera di enzimi presenti nello stomaco dei ruminanti). Il coagulo (cagliata) subisce poi una serie di trattamenti diversi a seconda del tipo di formaggio che si vuole produrre. I formaggi freschi hanno un contenuto di acqua più elevato dei formaggi stagionati che, in quanto tali, hanno subito una concentrazione dei nutrienti che sono in essi contenuti. Essendo dei derivati del latte, i formaggi contengono gli stessi principi nutritivi di questo alimento (ad eccezione del lattosio e di una parte di proteine del siero che sfuggono alla cagliata), ma in quantità notevolmente più abbondanti: costituiscono pertanto la miglior fonte di calcio alimentare e sono eccellenti apportatori di proteine di elevato valore biologico, nonché di lipidi. Questi ultimi raggiungono quantità variabili tra il 16 e il 40 per cento e oltre.

I formaggi costituiscono quindi da soli un ottimo secondo piatto e non devono essere consumati in aggiunta a questo o come «fine pasto». Alcuni tipi di formaggio possono venire inoculati con particolari microrganismi, quali muffe, che conferiscono al prodotto sapore ed aroma caratteristici (gorgonzola, robiole, roquefort eccetera). La ricotta, formaggio che deve essere consumato freschissimo, si ottiene per riscaldamento (ricotta) a 70/75° C del siero di latte (cioè della parte che rimane dalla lavorazione del formaggio) di pecora o di vacca, dopo aggiunta di un acidificante. Il contenuto lipidico della ricotta di pecora è più elevato di quello della ricotta di vacca e, conseguentemente, anche il loro apporto energetico è differente.

Shiny side in, or shiny side out?

There's no hard and fast answer. It all depends.

Shiny side out offers better basic reflecting power, but shiny side in scatters the rays better. If you're among friends, I'd go shiny side out, but I'd reverse that when travelling in a hostile environment.

Likewise, on the inside, shiny-side-in serves as a natural intelligence-booster, whereas fuzzy side in works as an aphrodisiac.

As to my personal preference, I usually do two layers and go double-shiny.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense to me. I feel better already.

This book has all about the need for tinfoil and it is a conspiracy text from the looney left.

If you're getting 'brainwaves from Uranus' a tinfoil hat ain't gonna help!

Maybe tinfoil pants would work. ;^)

Nope. If I remember my anatomy studies correctly, a suppository *might* do the job.
But even then, I'd be wary.

If tinfoil is scarce, a gallon sized ziplock bag and about 10 feet of plastic wrap tightly wound around the head will keep easedropping parties from hearing any more conversations on the transmitter in your fillings < /sarcasm >

The look of irritable bowel syndrome.

Shiny side in, or shiny side out?"

Shiny lining of the suit goes on the inside, crusty on the out...

Oh, c'mon now, someone had to add ol' crusty to this thread of ever present topics on FR!

Be careful, Marilyn Monroe died from a tinfoil suppository (or was it just a moose bite?)...
