Tittel: RE: Hvordan er det muligt at de kan bli sittende !!
Det virker som om den fjerde statsmakt har litt å gå på når det gjelder å være 'vaktbikje' ovenfor politikere og myndigheter, som vel egentlig blir sett på å være en viktig del av pressens rolle.
Jeg synes det kan virke som om det er et svik mot vanlige folk, iom. at det virker som om pressen mangler evne og/eller vilje til å stå opp mot autoritetene i samfunnet.
Dette er vel antagelig noe som har skjedd i de siste årene, at pressen virker å være så tamme mot myndigheter og mektige politikere og næringslivsledere eller obliarker kunne man vel kanskje vel kanskje kalle noen av dem.
Er disse maktmenneskene såpass mektige, og har så gode kontakter nå, at det kan gå på liv og helse løs å skrive kritisk og oppriktig om personer innenfor makteliten i samfunnet?
Det eneste untaket, de senere årene, er tilfeller når det virker som om at pressen har fått en samlet ordre om å 'ta' bestemte enkeltpersoner, jamfør Valla, Thommessen, Jagland, Tønne og Søviknes.
Så man kan kanskje lure på om det nå i det senere årene har oppstått en mafia i Norge, sånn at vi har samme tilstander som i Russland, at pressen er ensrettet, og ikke tørr å angripe de mektige politikerne og obliarkene.
Bare at i Norge er det ennå mer skjult, så det har ikke kommet ut enda, at situasjonen er mer eller mindre nesten som i Russland.
Eller kanskje enda værre, siden ikke noe kommer ut angående dette.
Og da er det vel ikke så lett å si helt sikkert om dette kan være grunnen.
Men noe virker det som er galt i allefall.
Så man kan jo spekulere om det kan være dette.
Når det gjelder politikere som har gjort grove feil, som å gamble bort kommunens formue på aksjespekulasjoner, så er det vel sånn, i allefall som jeg ser det, at en politiker, stiller med blanke ark fra starten, og når en politiker har gjort en alvorlig feil, så har ikke denne politikeren blanke ark ennå, og følgelig har politkeren heller ikke tillit.
Politikere må vel være ansvarlige for sine handlinger, og man må vel sette grensen et sted, når det gjelder uansvarlighet.
Så når de gjør en alvorlig feil, så burde det vel egentlig være sånn at de burde ta hatten sin og gå, og la andre, som fortsatt har blanke ark, få sin sjangse.
Sånn trodde i allefall jeg at det var meningen at det skulle fungere.
Men med den graden av ukultur, som det virker som om sprer seg i samfunnet for tiden, så er det vel nye regler for dette og.
At politikerne gjør hva de vil, og avisene tørr ikke å skrive noe negativt, men de ringer i stedet de korupte politikerne og sladrer, og går bak ryggen på de som prøver å gå frem på en ansvarlig måte.
Og sladrer istedet til den korrupte ordføreren, eller hva det var.
Jeg tror folk har rett når de sier at korrupsjonen brer seg i samfunnet.
Det virker ikke som om offentlige tjenestemenn, f.eks. ansatte i politiet og embedsverket prøver å opptre korrekt og ansvarlig engang.
Så man kan lure på hva det er som foregår, om hele samfunnet har meldt seg inn i en mafia, og ingen tenker på oppføre seg på en ansvarlig og rettskaffen måte lengre.
Eller kanskje de ikke tørr.
Det er mulig jeg har misforstått, og at det ikke er så ille som jeg beskriver det, men man kan vel begynne å lure noen ganger, om det er Norge eller Russland det er snakk om, synes jeg.

Grandiosa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Grandiosa (also known as Grandis or Grandi) refers to the most popular frozen pizza in Norway. Grandiosa can also refer to the series of different Grandiosa variants. Grandiosa is originally an Italian word for great.

[edit] History
Production of the original Grandiosa started on February 11, 1980, then produced by Nora (now Stabburet) in Stranda in Møre og Romsdal. Grandiosa was one of the first frozen pizzas produced in Norway. The pizza became vastly popular and is still the most sold pizza brand in Norway, in defiance of increasing competition from other local and international brands. In 2002 Stabburet responded to increased competition in the frozen food segment by revived the brand with creative marketing and several new versions of Grandiosa. The pizza is also exported in smaller numbers to the neighbouring countries Sweden and Finland.
The pizza is subject to a lot of humorous debate, and is unquestionably a piece of modern culture, loathed and loved by Norwegians. It has has been called the "modern national dish" by some, others claim it is "a piece of cardboard", "laziness in a box" and even "refrigerated evil".[1]
In 2005 Grandiosa got its own unofficial book: "GrandiosaLAND". The book contains stories about the man who had a broken jaw and had to put his Grandiosa in the mix master so he could eat it, and many other stories about Grandiosa, and Norwegian favourite past times such as "hyttetur" (trips to cabins typically located close to the sea/fjords or up in the mountains), "russetid" (the close to lawless celebration of the high school diploma) and "dugnad" (the collective activity of helping one another with community tasks).
[edit] Market share
Grandiosa benefited from being first to the market and early creating surprisingly loyal customers. Lately Stabburet has used creative marketing to promote Grandiosa. Examples are their very successful SMS-vote marketing campaign for selecting new addition to the pizza in 2004. Another example is their hit mobile ring tone "Respekt for Grandiosa" (Respect for Grandiosa) which 300,000 downloaded within 1.5 months.[2]
A total of 260 million pizzas have been sold. Twenty million units of Grandiosa are produced each year for the 4.67 million citizens of Norway.[3] The average person eats about 5 Grandiosa pizzas per year showing how extremely popular "Grandis" is among young people. The reason for its popularity is that it is a Norwegian product, that it is easy to make, and, according to some, that it tastes nice. It is prepared in a stove for approximately 12 minutes at 225 degrees Celsius. 100 grams of Grandiosa gives 220 kcal (920 kJ). The normal price for a Grandiosa is about 25 NOK (about $4), and about 45 NOK (nearly $8) for the Lørdagspizza (Saturday Pizza).
[edit] Varieties
In addition to the original Grandiosa, there exists different varieties.

2007 Grandiosa Full Pakke Meatballs, beef, dip, pepperoni and ham.
[edit] Doubt surrounding the binding-agent being used in the 'pizza-meat' mixture
There is some doubt surrounding which binding-agent it is, that is being used in the 'pizza-meat' mixture.[4]
On one of the webpages on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is soy protein[5], while on another webpage on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is gelatin based on swine.[6]
Questions surrounding the binding-agent, were also brought up in an article in the online editon of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet in 1997, where the factory-managers are claiming that they have recently been switching the binding-agent from soy protein to gelatin.[7]
On the Grandiosa boxes, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is soy protein.[8][9][10]
[edit] Pizzas produced on the Grandiosa pizza-factory in Stranda, not being sold in Sweden
There seems to be a small paradox surrounding the fact that the extremely popular Grandiosa Original pizzas aren't being sold in Sweden, even if the less popular Big One pizzas are.[11]
In Sweden, only pizzas produced on the Orkla Group owned Procordia pizza-factory in Vansbro in Dalarna in Sweden[12], and on the Stabburet Big One pizza-factory in Stranda in Norway, are being sold.[13]
In the West-Norwegian municipality of Stranda, there are actually two Stabburet pizza-factories. One Big One factory, and one Grandiosa factory.[14]
The pizzas produced on the Big One factory, are being sold as 'Big One' pizzas in Norway[15], and as 'Grandiosa Pan Pizza' in Sweden and Finland.[16][17]
The pizzas produced on the Grandiosa factory are being sold as 'Grandiosa' pizzas in Norway, and as 'Grandiosa Perhepizzat' in Finland.[18]

[edit] Doubt surrounding the binding-agent being used in the 'pizza-meat' mixture
The neutrality of this section is disputed.
Please see the discussion on the talk page.
There is some doubt surrounding which binding-agent it is, that is being used in the 'pizza-meat' mixture.[4]
On one of the webpages on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is soy protein[5], while on another webpage on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is gelatin based on swine.[6]
Questions surrounding the binding-agent, were also brought up in an article in the online editon of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet in 1997, where the factory-managers are claiming that they have recently been switching the binding-agent from soy protein to gelatin.[7]
On the Grandiosa boxes, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is soy protein.[8][9][10]
[edit] Pizzas produced on the Grandiosa pizza-factory in Stranda, not being sold in Sweden
The neutrality of this section is disputed.
Please see the discussion on the talk page.
There seems to be a small paradox surrounding the fact that the extremely popular Grandiosa Original pizzas aren't being sold in Sweden, even if the less popular Big One pizzas are.[11]
In Sweden, only pizzas produced on the Orkla Group owned Procordia pizza-factory in Vansbro in Dalarna in Sweden[12], and on the Stabburet Big One pizza-factory in Stranda in Norway, are being sold.[13]
In the West-Norwegian municipality of Stranda, there are actually two Stabburet pizza-factories. One Big One factory, and one Grandiosa factory.[14]
The pizzas produced on the Big One factory, are being sold as 'Big One' pizzas in Norway[15], and as 'Grandiosa Pan Pizza' in Sweden and Finland.[16][17]
The pizzas produced on the Grandiosa factory are being sold as 'Grandiosa' pizzas in Norway, and as 'Grandiosa Perhepizzat' in Finland.[18]

Doubt surrounding the binding-agent being used in the 'pizza-meat' mixture
There is some doubt surrounding which binding-agent Stabburet is using in the 'pizza-meat' mixture. (A mixture which is containing only forty percent meat, from cattle, according to Stabburet, and therefore needs to be 'glued together' with a binding-agent).
On one of the webpages on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is soy protein[4], while on another webpage on the Stabburet website, it's saying that the binding-agent being used is gelatin based on swine.[5]
Questions surrounding the binding-agent, were also brought up in an article in the online editon of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet in 1997, where the factory-managers are claiming that they have recently been switching the binding-agent from soy protein to gelatin.[6]
Yet, it's saying on the Pizza Grandiosa boxes today, that the binding-agent being used is soy protein.[7][8][9]
[edit] Pizzas produced on the Grandiosa pizza-factory in Stranda, not being sold in Sweden and Denmark
It seems like there could be a small paradox, or maybe even a small mystery, surrounding the fact that many Grandiosa pizza-types, including the famous and hugely popular Grandiosa Original/Classic, all of which are being produced on the Stabburet Grandiosa-factory in Stranda in Norway, are being sold in very large quantities in Norway and Finland, while they are not being offered on the market at all in Sweden or Denmark.[10]
In Sweden and Denmark, only Grandiosa-types produced on the Orkla-owned Procordia pizza-factory in Dalarna in Sweden, and on the Big One pizza-factory in Stranda in Norway, are being offered.
In Stranda, there are in fact two pizza-factories. One Big One factory (The pizzas produced here are being sold as 'Big One' pizzas in Norway, and as 'Grandiosa Pan Pizza' in Sweden and Finland), and one Grandiosa factory (The pizzas produced here are being sold as 'Grandiosa' pizzas in Norway, and as 'Grandiosa Perhepizzat' in Finland).
The two pizza-factories, in the remote West-Norwegian municipality of Stranda, are being run completely separatly, and each of them have got their own separate pizza-bread bakery.[11]
These facts has led to questions being raised, about the contence of the pizzas produced at the Stabburet Grandiosa pizza-factory in Stranda, since these pizzas are not being sold at all in neither Sweden or Denmark, even if they are, by far, the most sold frozen pizza-types in Norway, and are also being sold in large quantities in Finland.[12]

One Big One pizza-factory (The pizzas produced on this factory are being sold as 'Big One' pizzas in Norway, and as 'Grandiosa Big One' in Sweden and Finland), and one Grandiosa pizza-factory (The pizzas being produced here are only sold in Norway and Finland).
The two pizza-factories, in the remote West-Norwegian municipality of Stranda, are being run completely separatly, and each of them have got their own separate pizza-bread bakery.[11]
These facts has led to that there have been questions raised, regarding the contence of the pizzas produced at the Stabburet Grandiosa pizza-factory in Stranda, since these pizzas are not being sold at all in neighter Sweden or Denmark, even if they are, by far, the most sold frozen pizza-types in Norway, and are also being sold in large quantities in Finland.[12]
