  • 24) Empty Table
    ‘...The year is 2085 and Yasmin’s teacher has taken the small class to the local museum .Their assignment is to discover how their ravaged world has come to be. As they enter the darkened central chamber, a single ray illuminates the object displayed on a blackened pedestal, a thing so forbidding that its vague form – let alone the messages it contains- sends a chill of horror through the awed children. As they draw closer they begin to feel its power. Closer and they can at last make out what is, this fount of all the ruin, the suffering, the hunger, the loss. It is a cookbook.

    Those raised on conventional museums are accustomed to the guns, swords, religious symbols, and legal documents with which our thuggish ancestors imposed their views on their fellows, or died in the attempt. The victors had the privilege of framing history the way they liked. In the food wars to come, however, there will be no victors - only victims, and they will see the matter differently. The typical early twenty-first century cookbook, with its gorgeous illustrations, elegiac combinations of the failing fruits of the Earth with those that cost us the climate, water, soil, and our safety to produce is, unambiguously, a recipe for disaster on a planetary scale...’
    Extract from the book : The Coming Famine by Julian Cribb (publisher University of California press).
