Jerm, Mike and Charles explore food culture, globalisation, technology, and space exploration.
They examine the differences between local and global food sourcing, how corporate influence affects food production, and why nutritional density matters more than quantity in diets. The trio discuss biltong, a South African speciality now gaining traction, and highlight how globalisation has eroded culinary identity and local food sovereignty.
They argue that supporting local food sources can boost community resilience and health, with potential for diverse food production in the UK. Technological advances in farming could improve food quality, though cost remains a key factor in people's choices.
The conversation also touches on the links between space exploration and military-corporate interests, growing concerns over digital privacy, and how analog solutions might help reclaim control over personal data.
