A “mockumentary”, but it does sound gross.
Gregg Wallace’s Wikipedia entry lists him as “Broadcaster, entrepreneur, media personality, writer“; I’ve read he was a greengrocer. But he’s not a chef, trained or self taught, so I assume he got into MasterChef etc by enjoying puddings and being a tv presenter (eg recent travelogues on Edinburgh, Amsterdam etc).
Very clever commentary. What we, as a species, are doing to our planet, and the way our meat lust destroys the environment is the sick thing. Not programming that makes us look back on ourselves.
Using Wallace to present added a level of credibility that, if you fell for it, I would advise that you need to think about how you consume media and your own critical faculty and learn to question and challenge more.
As for starving without it, it's incredible what people will do to stay alive - it is in our core animal existence to stay alive. We are essentially just pretentious (and not especially intelligent) animals, don't underestimate what humanity is capable of in a crisis.
In an absolute (theoretical) crisis. Your child lives if it eats human flesh. Dies if it doesn't. You have that choice. Do you starve your child to death?
As ever, all things in moderation. We have meat free Mondays and fish Fridays, the other 5 days are 1 beef, 2 pork, 2 chicken, and the portions are 125g (or 1/4lb) per person. Healthy enough and sustainable.
Ah Greg, that lovely flat cap wearing costermonger and pudding expert.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
