Let’s get drunk on vegetables, shall we? Put salad in our cocktails, sit in the sun and watch the world through sunglasses. We can drink this refreshing and summery Brazilian cocktail with the smugness of a smoothie and talk rubbish.
Bellies rumble in the night and we throw food in the bin. Children look in empty fridges and unfathomable tonnes of food waste is generated by commercial and industrial sources around the world.
I bake food that my family doesn’t actually need to eat to survive. Food that, in excess, would make us fat while others waste away. Sometimes I feel guilt. Though not as much as those who throw it away on a mass industrial scale should feel, though they probably don’t. Otherwise something would be done.
