I ask therefore I am20 Sep 2021

S2#9 - How can we eat whatever we want? - I ask therefore I am

There’s a saying that triggers me a lot these days. It goes like this: “Everyone can choose for themselves whatever they want to eat”.

It triggers me because in my opinion it’s just completely false.

It triggers me even more because so many people use it all the time to justify not taking responsibility for actions that have a negative impact on others.

But, I will try to stay calm as I take you through the reasoning on why I see it this way. Moreover, I will try not to be grudgeful, I will actually come up with solutions so we can eat more of what we want to eat.

And at the same time, this whole thing will teach us something about freedom, philosophy, economics and ecosystems.
