Food Waste & Food Poverty

[Brian Peacock]

That's the spirit.

I'm all about sharing.

Of course, there would be no food shortage if people abstained from eating meat.

While a great proportion of arable land is given over to growing feed for livestock, the problem isn't necessarily one of shortage but availability and access.

Nonetheless, chopping meat from your shopping basket will cut your average meal price by c.50%, or more - at least in the UK, unless you're living on dog food....

They'll prise my medium rare steak from my cold dead hands...

Due to poverty I'm being forced to fish for more of my food these days. Caught a good sized Mangrove Jack the other night. I'll see if I can knock another one off in the next couple of days.

There's no shortage of insects. Loads of protien and tastes like chicken.

[JimC]

That's the equivalent of growing your own, in some ways...

Used to fish when I was a young bloke - might do some more when I retire...

"They'll prise my cockroach from my cold dead hands" doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

It's just not cricket...

4 legs good, 6 legs bad...

I need to take up fishing. Why should I support Asians raising shit-fed fish when I can catch my own? From here on out I'm only eating red, white, and blue 'MURIKAN mercury!

My religion requires periodic consumption of pork, are you demanding that I become an infidel?

[JimC]

And mine demands daily libations of gin...

We could ùmanage a syncretic thing...
