PETER TOMAŽ DOBRILA: Recycled Food

The first, second, third world … but what about the fourth and fifth? Philosophical re-questioning, where we come from and where we are going is in the capitalist world shifted to where we are and in which link of the food chain we are located. We are either on the side that ponders about organic food and genetically modified organisms, or where also food and scraps from the restaurant are recycled and then re-processed and offered as a low-cost meal, which some say it is excellent, but most nothing, because something else they can not afford. Food is becoming more and more a luxury of the modern world and probably there will eventually be even less doubts, what we eat, just to have something, even if the numbers, how much of it is daily thrown away, are astronomical and also gastronomical, as this is permitted only to few. Food is like the ultimate material of recycling, as a solution of distress, as the possibility of survival, as use of all that we’re offered by this world, before it is devoured by nature.
