First of all i don’t feel like blogging this issue in my blog, but my dear said it’s important to let people know about it. I agree with him.
Okay, the story begins when i went out to purchase my grocery. Took the LRT to KLCC to have my breakfast at the nearest Subway Restaurant and ordered a Subway VegeDelight.
It was very early and i was the only customer at that time.
She asked me what’s my choice of bread since they have Parmesan, Wholemeal, Honey and etc. So i told her that i wanted a Wholemeal bread. But since they don’t have wholemeal or parmesan so i have no choice but to choose the plain bread “roti kosong” instead. She filled my bread with vege, olive, onion, tomatoes, and the rest of the healthy veges and i opt for oil & vinegar.
Okay after she had wrapped my VegeDelight bread nicely. She moved on to the cash register.
The total of the VegeDelight is RM6.90 I gave her RM50
She gives me back Rm33.00
When i received back my Rm33.00 i felt weird. How come it’s short of RM10.10.
So, I asked her to give me the receipt. She gave me. [She pretended nothing happened)
I looked at the receipt and feeling so odd (and blur about my maths calculation skill), i pointed to the total amount in my receipt.
Sigh!..Do you know what? She gave me back RM0.10 only??! (more doubtful about my maths skill)
[Begin to wonder what about my RM10.00?]
Yet, she pretend nothing happen…
Finally, i had to voice out. There is a short of RM10. She said “Oh” and gave me back RM10.00
Where to complain in KLCC
Locate the Concierge desk at Concourse level @ KLCC. Request for a complain form and fill up your dissatisfaction. They are very well mannered and will assist you.
I lodged a complaint by filling up the complaint form and one of those officer took me back to KLCC food court and informed the foodcourt supervisor about this problem. Then, together we went back to Subway outlet and verify the issue. She admitted her fault and apologize to me.
Is she doing that on purpose or is she day dreaming?
Well, if something like this happen to you, now you know where to go to file your complain..
King Corn is a feature documentary film released in October 2007 following college friends Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis as they move to Greene, Iowa to grow and farm an acre of corn. In the process, Cheney and Ellis examine the role that the increasing production of corn has for American society.
The film shows how the industrialization of corn has all but eliminated the family farm, which is being replaced by larger and larger industrial farms. This trend reflects a larger industrialization of the North American food system, whereby, as was outlined in the film, decisions relating to what crops are grown, and how they are grown, are based more on economic considerations than their ramifications on the environment or the population. This is demonstrated in the film by the production of high fructose corn syrup, an ingredient found in many cheap food products, such as fast food, which has an adverse impact on the health of America. The two return to the same small town that was coincidentally home to both of their great-grandfathers.

We are the first generation of people that will likely have a shorter life span than our parents, largely because of the food we eat. A scientist then states that a disproportionally large amount of the carbon in our bodies comes from corn. Both of these are probably little known facts. Whose fault is that?
Genetically modified seed
Corn yield has increased by selecting types of corn plants that grow closer to each other so there are more corn plants per acre. This has increased the yield from 40 bushels per acre in the past to 200 bushels of corn per acre now. The trade off is that it has more starch and less protein. Is the trade off worth it?
Most farmers use genetically modified seeds to make crops like corn resistant to the herbicide weed killers (e.g., Liberty-ready, Roundup-ready). The result is that an entire field can efficiently be sprayed with herbicides without killing the crops. This keeps the yield per acre high and thus lowers the cost we pay for food.
Corn fed
Corn grain isn’t a healthy food for cows, and too much of it will produce acidosis, which will kill them. Large cattle feedlots are unsanitary and expose the cows to diseases. Antibiotics are put into corn feed to help combat both acidosis and disease from confinement; about 70% of the antibiotics in this country go to that purpose. All of this is driven by economics: corn is cheap food, and confinement allows cows to put on weight quickly. Is the tradeoff worth it?
According to one expert in the film, the muscle in factory farmed cows looks more like fat tissue than muscle tissue. Steak from grain-fed cows has about 5 times the saturated fat as grass fed cows. Again, this is driven by economics: steak with less saturated fat would mean spending more money on how cows are raised. Is the tradeoff worth it?
The corn sweetener industry emerged as an outlet for the excess corn that was produced after farming was deregulated. About 70% of high fructose corn syrup goes into beverage sweeteners. One problem this creates is obesity: one expert stated that drinking calories doesn’t produce the digestive “stop signals” that eating calories does. Another problem with sweet beverages is that it contributes to type 2 diabetes.
“We spend less of our income on food than any generation in history, and fewer of us are needed to produce that food than ever before. But we also might be the first generation to live in a time when abundance brings too much.”
Human become fatter because every food is made out of genetically modified corn!
If you go to Ogori coffee shop in Tokyo when you pay you don’t receive what you have ordered, you receive what the client before you ordered and paid! Would you go to a coffee shop where you can’t have what you want but what other client that you don’t know at all ordered? What would you order knowing that what you are ordering is not going to be for you but for the next client?
I love the surprise factor of this coffee shop!
Ogori coffee shop in Tokyo is full of surprising. When you pay for your orderings, you don’t get what you have ordered, you will received what the client before you ordered and paid! Would you visit this coffee shop knowing you can’t have what you want but what other client that you don’t know at all ordered?

Beta-agonists are used to force the animals to mature faster and increase the lean meat content, but have been said to cause palpitation, headaches and even death among consumers, especially heart patients.
In Malaysia, 5 pig farms have been banned following evidence that they had used beta-agonists.
Two of the farms are in Selangor, while the others are in Perak, Kedah and Penang.
If your bak kua taste weird, perhaps you know why….
I heard my friend said some of these pigs are dead pigs delivered in bulk to shops selling bak kua, pigs turned black or purple color from illness or disease will be dyed so that it will look fresh. Don’t know it’s true or not but she sounded confidence because it seems that her friends relatives are involved in the transportations of these pigs to shops.
If you have eaten or plan to eat these meat. You better think twice before buying.
