食物是人类最基本的需求之一,但摄取食物早已不再仅仅为填饱肚皮而已。 食物始终要有附加价值,人们放进口中的,必须是健康和有利环境的。重要的是,食物必须切合社会形像。今天,有哪些食物符合这些要求?有哪些食物已经不合时宜? 愈来愈多基本食物正在被替代品取代:大豆或豌豆蛋白制成的素肉饼可以取代免治牛肉饼;羽扇豆取代咖啡豆冲泡咖啡;用杏仁奶和腰果取代牛奶制造芝士,以至用3D打印「三文鱼」出来⋯⋯ 这些替代品真的更健康,更环保吗?对个人而言,替代食物会否要求我们牺牲味蕾的享受?对社会而言,替代食物的潮流会否为世界带来翻天覆地的改变?
Food - one of the most basic human needs. But food intake has long since ceased to serve only a full stomach.
Food must always have added value. It has to be healthy, good for the environment and, last but not least, it has to serve our own social image. But which food can meet all these requirements today and which food products have perhaps had their day? More and more basic foodstuffs are being replaced by alternatives: Burger patties made from soy or pea protein instead of ground beef, coffee made from lupines instead of coffee beans, salmon from a 3D printer, and cheese made from vegan alternatives such as almond milk and cashew nuts. But are these alternatives really better for us, health-wise or better for our environment? And what does this change mean for our society?
