“Хипократ вярвал, че храната е лекарството на човека. Днес, храната е причината, поради която хората се нуждаят от лекарства”. Това е, което мотивира Радики (“цикория” на гръцки), един малък проект от региона на село Рачес (гр.) в Месения, Пелопонес. В сайта им (англ.), те твърдят, че хората би трябвало да се върнат към автентичните форми на храна, тъй като те са станали твърде пристрастени към изкуствените вкусове на масовите продукти. Хората от проекта отглеждат зеленчуци само от местни традиционни Месенски семена и техните продукти включват диви зеленчуци, зехтин, трахана и сушени плодове. Можете да подкрепите проекта тук (англ.).
