Answer :Pizza can do a lot of things (like make life

better) but it can also increase productivity in the

workplace, according to a study in psychologist

Dan Ariely’s new bookPayoff: The Hidden Logic

That Shapes Our Motivations. Workers were

promised an incentive of a small cash bonus,

compliments from the boss or a slice of deep pan.

The group given pizza performed 6.7 per cent

better than the control group (given nothing), and

the cash bonus group came last. The take home?

If you’re a boss, reward your team with a pizza

party for a good return on your investment.

Hate to food-shame, but

the United Nations says that

close to 10 per cent of global

greenhouse gas emissions are

from producing grub that ends

up in the bin. Oh. Protect Mother

Nature (and your moolah) with

these smart freezer tricks:

MAKE YOGHURT POPS

Turn soon-to-expire yoghurt

tubs into icy treats by poking

pop sticks through the tubs’

foil lids and popping them

into the freezer. They’re best

eaten within two months.

Got excess fruit? Slice or

blend it all up with coconut

water, then pour into some

iceblock moulds and freeze,

like we have above. Yum!

PROPORTION MEAT

Place minced beef or poultry

in a ziplock bag, flatten to let

out air, then use a chopstick

to make a noughts-and-

crosses pattern (dividing it

into nine squares) before

stashing it in the freezer for

up to six months. You can

curb any food waste by

breaking off only the amount

you want to defrost and use.

GRATE BUTTER

Freezing butter saves blocks

for future baking sessions

and lasts for six months

at top taste. But what if

you need some, like now?

Grate it – over toast, vegies,

anything warm – and then

watch it melt in seconds.
