The Business of Hunger

Sadly, only those without money are the hungry ones. The world grows and produces enough food to feed its entire population, but only for those willing to buy it and pay the high cost of distribution.  To really solve the world’s hunger problem we must dig deeper into the waste business. Food and waste go hand in hand. Sometimes it’s cheaper to toss something than to recycle or give to others. Perhaps, when we stop enterprising food, hunger will stand a chance!

“We have failed to end hunger using the traditional recipe that saw hunger as a technical problem, requiring only that we produce more. We’ve failed because we’ve underestimated the need to empower people and hold governments accountable.”– Olivier De Schutter

Outbreak & Contagion

Brought to you by us, thanks to our self-damaging skills (talking about the environment of course). There will be no Matt Damon or Dustin Hoffman at the end, only a significantly diminished World Population. Will Darwin play with our fate again like he did after the Black Plague and restore the world’s population? Who knows… Perhaps, we’ll learn to coexist with the Zombies we created.

My Vote Goes to Mother Earth

Sometimes it feels like we are fighting mother earth we are chemicals, pollution and unnatural ingredients. They want to own all the seeds the farmers use to plant crops year after year. Some of those seeds have been in the family of farmers for generations. Now they have to buy them and return them after the crop if fully grown. Since when plating became a private business?

I’m Cooking & Living!

Just when you thought you have heard everything about what Michael Pollan had to say about the sad state of our food industry, he surprises us again.  Now he is simply saying: “start cooking or die.”  You know that when you eat out, you have very little control of what you’re actually eating. Follow Michael’s advice and live a long, healthy life.
