Egg and our Wealthy Food

From The Coffee House,
debating today's environment and possible solutions.

The egg, symbolic of life itself, is nutritious and serves up well as a snack or as part of a more substantial meal. Everyone the world over eats eggs, except vegans.

Mountains of good food is destroyed daily in wealthy countries as the sell by date is passed.

Our relationship with food has changed beyond all recognition. The bottom line is we have lost the ability to understand our food. It has resulted in:
- our difficulty in choosing a good piece of fruit, meat, fish, vegetable. Our knowledge of what looks, smells, feels, even sounds right (think of a melon) has gone.
- our inability to cobble a number of dishes together from a few ingredients
- our lack of desire to cook something from scratch more than a couple of times a week
- our compliance with Health & Safety Guidance and labelling schemes. If it’s out of date, throw it away.
