Attempting to find a better angle for this project and more direct focus..I have begun reading various articles on food production, consumption and prep. One of my favorite articles has been, Food Convenience from The Economist. Some notable areas of the article are:
"For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilisation, the microwave...is the last enemy...The communion of eating together is easily broken by a device that liberates household denizens from waiting for mealtimes...The first great revolution in the history of food is in danger of being undone. The companionship of the camp fire, cooking pot and common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at least 150,000 years, could be shattered."
"The amount of time spent cooking meals in Britain has fallen from 60 minutes a day in 1980 to 13 minutes a day in 2002."
