What's inside your fridge?

What's inside a person's fridge is their biographic encyclopedia, their history of taste, and culture of nourishment. The ingredients that one stocks bear a blueprint of the lineage that one continues. In it lies the recipe of grandma's stew and the leftover mooncakes from one's mid-autumn fest.

A person's fridge also tells whether they have access to abundant nourishment; perhaps they live in a food desert or have no substantial means to support themselves. Perhaps they have no knowledge about nutrients, no model on healthy eating, or no time to cook whole-food meals.

Each item in a person's fridge is a vote for their politics. Their advocacy for localization of food, for permaculture, for environmentalism, and social justice. Or it can indicate an absence of environmental and social awareness, in which case indicates the person's lack of access to empowering knowledge or to a community of care.

We can do an exercise of looking into our fridge to understand ourselves, our votes, our aspirations.
