Sojournpussy: Egypt

On the breadline
Photos by Kess Bohan

It's a pricing problem, not lack-of-food problem. What we face now is manufactured scarcity, thanks to the way our foods are commodotised like oil or gold, and 'hedged' by bean counters, and also the way the markets are manipulated by commercial food cartels and supermarkets.

When I used to stack shelves at ASDA, I threw away a lot of good food. Why? Any designer would tell you that in-built obsolescence is essential to trends, turnover of goods and consumerism. Food is no exception. They don't call it "sell by date" for nothing.
