Mike Carruthers: 最近我和朋友们在烤鱼时,讨论了新鲜鱼和冷冻鱼哪个更好。我发现这其实是个有点“狡猾”的问题。很多时候,我们认为的新鲜鱼实际上是冷冻过的。所谓“新鲜”仅仅意味着它没有被冷冻,但这并不代表它有多新鲜。如果一条鱼从未冷冻过,它可能已经捕捞了好几天,味道可能不如刚捕捞时好。为了解决这个问题,商店通常会购买冷冻鱼,最好是捕捞后立即速冻的鱼。然后,他们解冻这些鱼并出售。这样可以减少浪费,因为他们可以只解冻预计会卖出的量。所以,如果你想在家做鱼,冷冻鱼可能是一个更好的选择,特别是如果包装上标明是速冻的。它的味道可能和新鲜鱼一样好,甚至更好,而且通常更便宜。

Contrary to popular belief, many 'fresh' fish have been frozen at some point. This segment explores the advantages of frozen fish, especially flash-frozen fish, in terms of taste, cost, and reduced waste.
  • Many fish sold as 'fresh' have been previously frozen.
  • Flash-frozen fish can taste as good as or better than fish that was never frozen.
  • Frozen fish is often cheaper and less wasteful for stores.

How do you solve a problem before it even becomes a problem? The perfect example is changing the oil in your car. You do that to prevent problems from happening later. And it turns out a lot of problems in life can be solved – or prevented - that way if we just change how we look at them. That’s according to Dan Heath author of the book Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen (https://amzn.to/3atB1Os). )Listen as he reveals this way of preventing problems that everyone can put into practice.

Our tendency is to add. When the government sees a problem, they add a new law. When there is a problem at work, management adds a new rule. We add. But what if a better solution is to subtract? Take away a law or a rule or remove an obstacle. We tend not to think that way, but we should according to my guest Leidy Klotz. Leidy is a professor of engineering and architecture at the University of Virginia and author of the book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less (https://amzn.to/3olHXG5). )

If you have a sweet tooth you would like to tame – the solution just might be a pickle! Listen as I explain. http://www.wisegeek.com/why-do-some-pregnant-women-crave-pickles-and-ice-cream.htm)
