Vegetable Prices Have Risen Due To Truck Drivers

Istanbul, Turkey

For citizens of Istanbul, vegetable prices have risen due to lorry [truck]drivers recently holding a protest over a number of days. They were angry because they are limited to when they can drive on a busy bridge to Istanbul. 

Lorry[truck] drivers are not allowed to drive over the Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge between 7 and 10am, and 4 to 8pm as the government wish to bring a calmer traffic situation. However this decision is unacceptable to truckers and led to 1500 lorry drivers striking between 27 to 30 January, reported Turkish newspaper Zaman. This then resulted in consumers hoarding vegetables, amongst other things, and driving prices up even before the trucks had stopped.

This means that at the time that many people are having their first cup of coffee on the way to work, their bodies are actually “naturally caffeinating” the most effectively! According to Iwata, the effects of caffeine consumption at times of peak cortisol levels actually diminishes the effectiveness of the additional stimulation. Worse still, “By consuming caffeine when it is not needed, your body will build a faster tolerance to it, and the buzz you get will greatly diminish.”
