Thank you for your investigative sleuthing into which man-fangled companies own the crap-masquerading-as-food behemoths who do not give a flying false tooth about nourishing humans.....the only expansion they seek are trans-fattening their bottom lines.
When looking at the hugeness of the sector it is easy to become overwhelmed and believe 'there's nothing I can do'
BUT
when using the metaphorical and literal examples of being small and nimble, our smaller, personal, intimate and local-knowledge food groups possess the capacity to get things done when needed to.
Yep - we need to get over the idea we have to seek permission before we do anything.
Yep - we need to be visionary, brave and activate Gandhi's advice for civil disobedience and non-violent demonstrations.
If it is to be it is up to me......and my eating friends :-)
There certainly is a lot of preaching to the choir at climate weeks. I think of it sometimes as "therapy for those lost in the climate world." God knows it's hard in the climate world at the moment, so on the whole that's a good thing. However, as the first part of your essay points out, there's a whole world out there that works differently, and it's how we engage in those spaces that will determine how we deal with climate, food, and so on.
