Dietro al banco sembrano tutti irresistibili: cornetti alla crema, al miele, alla marmellata, ai frutti di bosco, al pistacchio. Ma basta leggere bene l’etichetta per scoprire che, spesso, ciò che immaginiamo non corrisponde davvero a ciò che stiamo mangiando.

When journalists are attacked, democracy is weakened and human rights erode, as citizens cannot make informed choices & polarization grows.

Protecting them is not optional – is essential for safe, informed societies.
