Hey all! For the Memefest2013 theme of Food Democrazy, I just wanted to share some really promising recent initiatives from Copenhagen, Denmark:
First of all there is FRESH (subtitled: The most awesome supermarket in the world)
FRESH presents itself as "a holistic concept that goes beyond the boundaries", offering the citizens of Copenhagen a living supermarket in the city. Instead of simp…

(odlomek iz prihajajoče knjige o hrani)
Ali je mogoče invazijo instantne trash american materializirane ideologije v obliki fast fooda misliti kot del ameriške neoliberalne ekspanzivne politike; kot kontrarevolucionarni odgovor na svetovno kritiko amerikanizma in zahteve svetovne kulturne revolucije in antisistemskih gibanj konec 60. let?
Tezno vprašanje ni nedolžno, če vemo, da je proces…

Vandana Shiva's text Stolen Harvest is part of this years Memefest Food Democracy Festival outlines. Things connect more and more. Last Memefest we have researched DEBT(http://tinyurl.com/bs3k5c8). Guess what- 270 000 Indian farmers committed suicide because they were driven in to debt.

Zašto DEMOKRATIJA HRANE?
Na isteku prošlog veka smo stanovnici ovoga planeta počeli ozbiljnije da shvatamo EKOLOŠKE PRETNJE našeg vremena. Pre svega mislim na promenu klime, uništavanje biodiverziteta i monokultura, narastanje toksičkog odpada, kao i zagađivanje izvora vode i okoline. Počeli smo da se bavimo pitanjima prirodnog kapitala, među koje spada i HRANA.
Usled NEOLIBERALNE DEREGU…

In the era of privatisation of everything fundamental human needs get colonised through corporate strategies. The food system becomes a machine, which excludes people. We have almost no chance to participate in the production and distribution of food. The consumption is to a big degree predefined as well- our desires to achieve pleasure with food are in many ways the product of the prevailing foo…

At the moment that I am writing this text, the massive social uprising in Slovenia continues and enters, with even fiercer political determination, into a new stage of political maturity.

This report is worth to read! How rapidly growing extreme wealth and inequality are harmful to human progress.
We know a lot about the subject, but there are some number which makes you really really sad and angry...
For example this:
"The top 100 billionaires added $240 billion to their wealth in 2012- enough to
end world poverty four times over."
Or this:

DEBT was our theme of interest for almost a year. The importance of critically researching DEBT can hardly be exaggerated. DEBT has become a major instrument of social control.
