Images from by husband and wife team Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida‘s art website Minimiam (French for Mini Yum), which combines Carl Warner style food landscapes and tiny models in charmingly tiny dioramas.
Of course, street artist Slinkachu has been doing this kind of thing since 2006. Predating them all though is the work of US photographer Christopher Boffoli (below), who created his first tiny nomscape in 2003.
The most recent Eurobarometer study (2010) shows that Genetically Modified food has less than 25% acceptance among European citizens, while over 70% believe GM to be inherently unnatural. There is no grey area between being a GM free country and not. Ireland cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hound when it comes to our reputation as a food exporter. Either we value and protect our reputation as a clean, green food island and continue to exploit high value export markets, or we can court the pet projects of industrial agriculture and exit the food business in favour of the low value commodity business. It appears that both Teagasc and the EPA have chosen the latter.

At least.
“If a football bursts, they are replaced. Whether they are going. through more balls down there because they play more football in Limerick or they end up in the razor wire quicker, we’d have to look into it.”
But one prison source said the number of balls bought could be even higher as those taking part in open-air kickabouts have to play with balls that don’t meet FIFA competition requirements.
Frankly?
Bizarre.
