The poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) used to say "If you eat three meals a day, eat only two or one. Simplify... Simplify".
Let us "simplify". Let us eat at the bottom and not at the top.
Flour burgers
Ingredients
- 4 heaped spoonfuls of whole wheat flour
- Half a teaspoon of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
- 1 small green or red pepper or a small
onion sliced up
- Ground black pepper
- Salt
- Half a cup of water
Procedure:
Put all of the ingredients into a bowl, add salt and
black pepper to your taste and mix well with a spoon.
Heat up some sesame seed oil in a flying pan. Take a
heaped spoonful of the mix, put on the bottom of the pan, mould
it with the spoon and fry it until brown on both sides.
Depending on the sizes, you may get two or more
delicious flour burgers.
Now comes the best part:
Get two slices of whole wheat bread or one bread bun, lettuce,
mustard, tomatoes and whatever you want to put on your flour burger (Fig. 1).

The privilege of having something to eat
In a world full of Have nots, it is a real privilege to be able to get the hands on one on the flour burger babies.
Sadly there are too many poor people. We the people who live on the side of abundance have a lot to do with this.
The giant multinational enterprises that keep us fat and sick make sure we do not go missing anything and cater to every whim we can think of, so in the end we all suck dry the "poor" nations.
Not that these nations are poor. Quite the contrary, they are immensely rich, swimming in vast oceans of natural resources. They are simply badly mismanaged and kept poor for our convenience, for our fucking consumerism.
The multinational shepherds only give the stuff that their insatiable human sheep ask for.
And if the human sheep do not ask for stuff they are pushed and manipulated to ask for stuff, in a never ending stupid cycle that is tearing up and fucking up Mother Earth´s Biosphere.
And beware... The human sheep are becoming ever hungry for more stuff.
Food is sacred
Still hungry for the flour burger? We hope so.
We are not trying to spoil your moment. We are just hoping you do some soul searching before you sink your teeth on a piece of sacredness, for food is sacred.
And having something to eat is a real privilege.
We ourselves are quite thankful to Life for the many things we have been given on loan, for nobody can really say this is mine because we are all passing through this beautiful planet, Earth.
We are all tourists on Earth.
And whilst we are alive, why not make our mission as human beings to take care of Mother Earth?
Let us "simplify". Let us eat at the bottom and not at the top.
