Food Matters

We all need to eat but how many of us are concerned where the food comes from and what we actually put into our bodies? The amount of people in this planet is growing and growing every year and many have estimated that Earth has already way over the maximum capacity.
The growing amount of people has led to mass production of food: the cheaper we can get it the better.

One of the most worrying side effects of this, for me at least, if what we let our children to eat. Schools spend less and less money for food served in schools. Unfortunately, this means that the food is mostly processed in many countries. In Finland we are privileged to have a lunch everyday free of charge. The food is always prepared at the site and it is never pizzas or burgers.

I was browsing the Internet about this topic and found this very inspiring video about Birke Beahr, an 11-year-old boy, who is concerned about how food is marketed to children and is very interested in sustainable and organic farming practices.
