Twisting. Twisting like the neck of a cow, having a wash. Cow twisting after their beautiful eyes from last month.
We can twist different things….
To get a "twisted spirit" means in French, to be extravagant, is it more or less dangerous than to be conformist ?

To see, absolutely :

The film : "We feed the world" - as the Pioneer Company says, conducted by Erwin Wagenhofer.
Because we all are consum’actors and not just pawns on the consumption and profit chess-board, because each day food is wasted, the over-fishing, the deep sea consumption, the deforestation, the pollution, because trucks and planes transport refined food for improbable distances, the suffering of factory animals, GMO, the intensive agriculture and all its threats, the millions people dying of hunger, thirst or poisoned with polluted water, the incredible profits of certain people, the destruction of human agriculture, all of that isn’t a fatality but results from our behavior, our ethic, our responsability assumed or not assumed, and all of that has repercussions on the state of our planet and on our own state.

Believe my experience, your favorite beverage will really get another taste if you mix your sugar or your honey with a twisted spoon. Absolutely incomparable.
So say my favorite twisted spoon girls too !

Extract

"You can read a large panel about these benefits "possible without work" such as fishing small rivers, where we could get much more if we were satisfied with "doing nothing", if we fished for only a reasonable time, for only so much as we need, without fishing for small fry, chasing otters only a quarter of time we spend destroying wild game.."

In the New Industrial World and Society, or Invention of an Attractive and Natural Industry, by Ch. Fournier (1772-1837) edition 1829-1830, p 3 for announce book.
