What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

Sales of store-bought baked goods like these declined by 24 percent since 2005, according to a report in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Unfortunately, manufacturers aren’t taking the hint: The study also found that newly released baked goods were no healthier than existing products.

Unfortunately the focus is always focused on shortermism rather than long term.
