Food for Thought

Food for Thought

In the last 40 years the way we produce and eat our food has gone through significant changes.  Not only has the production become more industrial, also our taste is more and more defined by the companies that make our food.  These companies are only interested in the economics of making longerlasting and cheaper taste (on a bigger scale).  The restaurants we eat at are increasily owned and operated as big corporations.  Operating according to tightly managed formulae they offer exactly the same food in all their branches. Its food is meant to taste the same all year round. Are we becoming scared of a burger tasting of spring?

At the 24/7 SANDWICHSHOP we strive to (re-)aquint people with special tastes and develop new and ever changing combinations.  But how can we involve the whole food chain? Should there be chickens in the garden, a cow slaughtered in the shop? Should we produce our grain on-site? Or should we have different ‘shops’ dealing with the raw materials? Should we serve different food?  Sandwich pills? Algae rolls? Wood burgers? Or should we stop serving food and start to be hunter-gatherer again?
