Crikey. I'm anything but a food activist but this M&S post stopped me in my tracks. 15 million loaves of bread!! (See below) I love carving a pumpkin as much as the next person, but I can't look at this without thinking, "what a waste." ?? A few caveats before anyone starts hammering me: 1) I'm not an expert. 2) ChatGPT has helped me with the stats. 3) I'm just pondering this on a coffee break (with a Garibaldi). 4) I am very keen for people to point out the errors in my calculations, knowledge, understanding or thought process. 3,000 acres of land in the UK is used for pumpkin growing*. The soil needs to be rich, well-drained, and sunny, so it is probably also suitable for wheat. 3,000 acres of wheat would make 15 million loaves of bread**! The GBP yield per acre of pumpkins (which are largely wasted as Halloween decorations) is a minimum of ￡3,000-￡4,000+, whereas wheat is just ￡500-￡1,000. I completely understand why farmers grow pumpkins. If I were a farmer, I would grow pumpkins, but is it not an indication that the system is properly broken? Absolutely nothing to do with recruiting FDs but it make me a bit sad and I'm hoping someone can give me a more positive slant on this. #foodwaste #costofliving #sustainability #coffeebreak *source: Countryside Online and The Guardian **source: NAWG.

Have some indoor fun today Florida/East Coast friends! Stay safe and stay aware! ? Below is a recipe for some easy indoor sensory fun : OOBLECK Oobleck is a quick mixture of: 1 cup of water 1 1/2-2 cups of corn starch A few drops of all natural food dye/few shakes of glitter to add some fun! Start with the water in a bowl and start adding the corn starch to it. You can use a spoon at first, but pretty quickly you'll be moving on to using your hand to stir it up. When you're getting close to adding 1.5 cups of the corn starch, start adding it in more slowly and mixing it in with your hand. The goal is to get a consistency where the Oobleck reaches a state that is the liquid and yet solid. Sometimes you will need more cornstarch. If so, keep adding more than the initial 1.5 cups. If you add too much, just add some water back into it. You will have to play with it to see what feels appropriately weird. Have FUN! ?? #hurricaneparty! #besafe
