The journalist Salvatore Minieri chooses the “Manzoni” high school again to present his latest investigative book, “Pane e Veleno”.
The event, organized by the Caserta institute, directed by principal Adele Vairo, is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli”, by the Rotaract of Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli” and by the Inner Wheel of Caserta “Luigi Vanvitelli” and will be held in the setting of the “Buon Pastore” Auditorium-Theatre on Monday 22 April, at 6pm.
“Pane e Veleno” aims to be a real journey, without censorship – and rigorously conducted on the basis of scientific documentation – to discover the dangers of foods and products that we consume every day, unaware of their harmfulness to our health.
“For about five years we have reached the lowest point of the food chain: raw fish, often contaminated, fake oils, Chinese tomatoes passed off as Naples gold. Up to the mozzarella bleached with lime and the worst meat that ends up in fast food chains”, underlines Minieri; and adds: “with this book we try to enter into the secrets of counterfeiting, delving into topics that – at least until now – had remained covered by a thick blanket of complicit silence”.
The event is part of the activities of the Institute project “Meeting with the Authors”, which aims to help students approach, with a critical approach, the reading of texts of various genres, helping them to strengthen their own ‘itinerary’ of human and cultural growth. Minieri will guide the Manzonian students in discovering uncomfortable truths about our diet and the risks to our health, which we often ignore. An event that promises to be of great importance and which will offer a precious opportunity for reflection to the school community of the Manzoni Campus and to the city of Caserta.
