10. Centuries
ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helped to preserve
it, and that the easiest way to do thiswas to expose the food to sun
and wind. In this way the North American Indians produced pemmican
(dried meat ground into powder and made in to cakes), the Scandinavians
made stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and apricots.
All foods contain water - cabbage and other
leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root
vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60%
depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of
the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked. Fruit is sun-dried
in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and ot her Mediterranean countries, and
also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary,
but in general the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the
hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pe ars, peaches and apricots are
exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur before drying. Plums for making
prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and
currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins
of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so increasing the
rate of drying.
Nowadays most foods are dried echanically;
the conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers
throughwhich hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110°C at entry to
about 45°C at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as
vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea,
soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal
steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber throug h which a
current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is
scraped off the roller as a thin film wh ich is then broken up into
small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it
falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable
pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients
are dried separately and then mixed. Dried foods take up less room and
weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not
need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are
invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have
little storage space. They are also po pular with housewives because it
takes so little time to cook them. From Practical Faster Reading by
Gerald Mosback and Vivien Mosback. CUP

13. We
live in a world of tired, sleep deprived people. In his book Counting
Sheep, Paul Martin - a behavioural biologist - describes a society which
is just too busy to sleep and which does not give sleeping the
importance it deserves.
Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep. We are now a 24/7
society where shops and services must be available all hours. We spend
longer hours at work than we used to, and more time getting to work.
Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round the clock and
late-night TV and the Internet tempt us away from our beds. When we need
more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less. The
average adult sleeps only 6.2 hours a night during the w eek, whereas
research shows that most people need eight or even eight and a half
hours' sleep to feel at their best. Nowadays, many people have got used
to sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent
state of 'sleep debt'.
Until the invention of the electric light in
1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend on the hours of daylight.
People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall. But
nowadays our hours of sleep are mainly determined by our working hours
(or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an
alarm clock. During the day caffeine, the world's most popular drug,
helps to keep us awake. 75% of the world's population habitually consume
caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation.
What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us?
As well as making us irritable and unhappy as humans, it also reduces
our motivation and ability to work. This has serious implications for
society in general. Doctors, for example, are often chronically sleep de
prived, especially when they are on 'night call', and may get less than
three hours' sleep. Lack of sleep can seriously impair th eir mood,
judgment, and ability to take decisions. Tired engineers, in the early
hours of the morning, made a series of mistakes
with catastrophic results. On our roads and motorways lack of sleep
kills thousands of people every year. Tests show that a tired driver can
be just as dangerous as a drunken driver. However, dr iving when drunk
is against the law but driving when exhausted isn't. As Paul Martin
says, it is very ironic that we admire people who function on very
little sleep instead of criticizing them for being irresponsible. Our
world would be a much safer, happier place if everyone, whatever their
job, slept eight hours a night.
