1. That most of the food he was giving his pigs was fit for human consumption.
ResponderEliminar2. He grabbed a sun-dried tomato loaf, sat down and ate breakfast with his pigs.
3. That there's a huge difference between the likely level of consumption and the real supply countries produce, especially in rich countries.
4. Because we are reaching the ecological limits that our planet can bear.
5. The global food supply. Four.
6. Because the corporations don't tell us what they're doing at the back of their stores.
7. Discarded food and vegetables which are perfectly edible but have the wrong shape or size (fresh bread crusts, spinach, potatoes, parsnips, tomatoes, oranges and bananas). The same for meat.
8. The national dish (sheep's organs)symbolizes their taboo against food waste.
9. Keep feeding pigs with our food waste.
10. 'Feeding the 5,000'
I am utterly convinced the Earth will be destroyed by our own means in a short period of time. And, I guess that's a lethal mistake for us, because we depend on this tiny blue pale dot in the vast universe to live. We are wasting life on the Earth. I believe we cannot afford to lose focus.
