Food

Since when did food become a commodity?

Since when did food become a global,

Corporate driven commodity?

Driven, by profit

Price

Volume

Brand, hype and advertising

By convenience

By excess

By our wants.

Since when did food become the destroyer

Of nature

Of forests, animals and the blue sky

Of balance

Of the land, the air, the sea

And ……………….. Our planet

Of life, as we never know it

Since when?

Food.

Should be anything but.

Since the beginning of our existence,

Food was there

Food has always been there

For our nourishment

For our needs

For our growth, energy and survival

For our lives

And our evolution.

And evolve we have.

To a point where we take food
