Sandwich change

According to this article, we get through 3.5 billion sandwiches a year in the UK.

This comes at the same time as Tesco is trialling plastic free aisles in two of its stores (Morrisons has already got plastic free fruit and vegetable sections)
Also a reminder to revisit nef's report 'An Inconvenient Sandwich' on the nature of the take-away food industry in the UK. (Download as a PDF from the link)

Sandwiches

This Guardian article has some interesting information on the impact of convenience food. It follows a report on the carbon footprint of certain sandwich fillings. This connects with work that we do on Food Miles and the wider geographies of food.

There's a podcast that you can listen to here as well.

It reminds me of the nef research on fast food and its impacts from some years ago.
An Inconvenient Sandwich was the name of the report, and it focussed on the fast food sector in general. 
A reminder of the wider importance of our food choices, which we spend billions of pounds a year on.

Just a reminder of a video I blogged a while back... been back on the food trail for part of today...

This clip (which may well disappear on the 12th of May) is superb for those exploring FOOD as an issue...
