A destroyed West African rain forest and obese Westerners, London

First blogged on the 19th of March 2021 forests are still being destroyed to grow cocoa to make sugar laden chocolate and those addicted to it fat.

19th March 2021

Pile it high chocolate representing a destroyed rain forest somewhere on the planet with probable economic slavery thrown in of the growers paid far below what first world workers would earn so Westerners can stuff themselves with sugar laden products that make them obese and ill. Economics if not the dirtiest game then certainly one of the most dirty games that humans play. 15th of September 2018.

Fast food – what’s wrong with that?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-52737641/coronavirus-queues-for-mcdonald-s-drive-thru-in-sutton

To many this seems normal but it represents the epitome of what is wrong with the convenience food system. A fast food drive through outlet has opened to long queues. What’s wrong? First it is necessary to own a car which is impossible to replicate in terms of global population. Then the cars emit CO2 adding to climate change. Then there is the consumption of mostly meat with all its attendant environmental and human health issues. All those forests being cut down to create animal farms means some of the animals have to end up somewhere like this. All that global obesity has to have some connection to this. There are social issues of not being able to prepare proper wholesome food because of laziness and also because of the cheapness in terms of those who can afford this type of food and the overall source of that money in terms of human and environmental exploitation.
