Israelites are homesick for meat and bread and reviled prophets that they want to redeem hunger. Fortunately, however, there was God who sent down to earth people manu – The Food of the Gods, who is forty years nourished and who was I chosen to taste.

We recently came to my office pretty special invitation. Was it that we were invited to test the “most advanced food now” on behalf of MANA, which began its journey remedy the current board. Maybe you’ve already heard about anything like that.
