Veg and other consumables

What is happening?
Everything is exceeding itself. Shampoo for ultra-healthy hair, sports drinks to induce that "super-hydrated" feeling, mascara for lashes up to 200 times thicker. What does ultra-healthy mean anyway? Isn't "healthy" the peak category in health? What does it feel like to be super-hydrated? Soggy?

Egg whites now come pre-separated and cartoned with added "egg flavour" to make scrambled eggs so much simpler. Avocado comes packaged pre-mashed in little plastic cups with preservative added.
It won't be too long until babies come packaged in a tear-top resealable plastic film, floating in a nutrient enriched fudge flavoured protein goo with activated chia seeds.

Personally, I want to pull my food from the earth with both hands, and admire it in all it's freaky dirty sexy glory. I think there is no healthier existence than the existence of a vegetable in rich soil, fed by rain, the earth, the sun. Thinking nothing, growing slowly, smelling like mud.



Hello I am a little beet
With a hairy root
And this is a little worm
Making its commute
