Vunerabilities:We are vunerable to supermarkets, markets, butchers, and all the information that comes with food. Having faith in what we eat means that it could be damaging us without our knowledge. We are vunerable to ecomonic and global systems when it comes to consumables and have little control of it as an individual. It is a minefield even if we buy organic produce as the organic symbol guarantees a set of guidelines, but not air miles, labour, carbon footprint, etc. 80% of london’s food is imported. If this was cut off, then we would survive for two maybe three days.

garlic everyday and wait the 15 minutes required for maximum health benefits.
