I listened to a podcast this morning about supply chain management was disappointed to find I learned almost nothing new, despite knowing littie or nothing about supply chain management.
However, I did notice this jar of salt, which came with our flat, and wasn’t purchased by us.
I am quite sniffy about Himalayan pink salt which is just salt in Pakistani terms, as it comes from the Salt Range (not the Himalayas), about 20 km south of my ancestral lands, plus I place a very high value on buying local as far as possible. This one particularly struck me because it comes from that place near where my ancestors lived for a few centuries at least, was sent to the US where it was packaged, and then was sent to Taiwan where, eventually, it ended up in my pantry. Curious business, global capitalism.
