How Did That Get In My Lunchbox?: The Story of Food

Main takeaways:
- Farms.
- Chocolate is onerous indeed. Now I feel guilty eating chocolate. Someone once tweeted that so much human suffering has been undergone so rich British people could have a “nice breakfast” (sugar cane plantations, coffee and tea plantations, colonialism, imperialism, etc). Chocolate really takes a lot of steps.
- You know what's missing, and what we all noticed - parents and kids - MEAT? That conversation was left up to ME to describe. Thanks a lot, book.

kid: how are fish made even?
me: uh well ok, the book is not showing you because it's sort of sad and scary, but fish and meat are things that we kill to eat.
kid: [loving it] O RLY? HOW DO WE KILL THEM?
me: uh
kid: HOW?
me: uh well i'm actually not sure, i think we pull fish out of the water and they suffocate? ...
kid: O RLY [popcorn emoji] WHAT ELSE
me: uh and for cows i think we make them bleed until they die?
kid: OH WOW

I don't even know. I mean, I'm not going to go into the dystopian nightmare hellscape that is industrial meat production. But even virtuous pastoral meat production, I'm shaky on. They behead chickens, right?
