See- a middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt struggling to hold two phones and a pen. His
wrinkled forehead is from the uneasiness of his posture.
Think- seems like he is on two calls trying to get something down on a paper therefore he is
holding a pen. who is this man and why it is important for him to attend two calls
simultaneously?
Wonder- stay at home dad, work/home separation, children and technology. The child is sick
and his father is taking care of his child simultaneously working from home. A single parent.
How do these images help me consider either topic in a wider context than my own
life and experience ?
My friend believes foraged food is the future. ‘It’s natural, it’s unusual, and it tastes great!’ he
says. It seems local people agree: there are now three restaurants in our town (including the
one we visited) that serve strange-sounding things that you would normally regard as weeds
or wild plants.
However, is it such a good thing? For example, it is often the most expensive restaurants
that feature foraged food, such as Danish restaurant Noma, voted the best in the world in
2014. This leads some to say that it is a fad and just an excuse for restaurants to charge a
lot for weird-sounding dishes.
Yet the popularity is not just down to a celebrated restaurant or two. At a time when more
and more people are rejecting fast food, which is often unhealthy, the idea of going back to
nature seems very appealing. While foraged food is free and close to hand, it seems likely to
remain very popular, even if not everyone is convinced.
