The look is really secondary!
The glossy generation's obsession with beauty and its impact on fruit and vegetables.
The fact that fruit and vegetables have to be on the shelves in a glossy, photo-ready state is a very new quirk of our time. During my trip to the USA in 1996, I was particularly fascinated and also a little frightened by the perfect staging of fruit and vegetables on the shelves. At the time, I found it unreal and almost artificial.
As our small European world has also become increasingly photo-friendly, this trend has quickly found its way into our country.
Now would be the time to give our thoughts the space to question this in peace and we will realize - we simply can't afford this nonsense anymore.
A large part of the harvest does not make it to the supermarket shelves because it fails the casting.
870 million people suffer from hunger.
I'll leave it at that for now.
The words of the great Adelheit K. "... unfortunately I don't have a photo for you today" are really out of place here.
