Scientist say food is alive and real.
They say they proved plants do feel
and respond on pain just like me.
If you touch them you can easily see
they are suffering and you feel their misery.
Now I know...
But my concern is what about me?
What should I eat, how can I stay healthy?
If what's on my plate keeps begging me
with tearing eyes "Please, set me free.
I'm a living person, I guarantee
I'll never kill like you intend to do with me"?
"Look at this little face. How can I eat it?"
My children stared at it.
"Cover it with tomato ketchup," one said.
But... If I cover it with ketchup it looks dead.
"Just turn it around" was an other response.
None of them intended to eat it though. It feels a bit weird once you know...
Food photography is an art. Did you know the photos made of food in magazines, for folders, posters, etc is prepared in a way to look good but seldom edible or made by following the recipe?
The photos are made with my mobile phone. I am not crazy about photo shopping and prefer to keep them the way they are made. It was hard to make a photo of a Brussels sprouts. For the photo above I just changed the color a bit with the phone's photo editor .
If food could talk, what do you think fruit would say? It grows only to e eaten, so the seeds are eaten and spread out. It displays bright colours and tastes sweet, only to make us like to eat it. Wouldn't fruit desire to be eaten then?
