A sobering and revealing six minute clip of food mass production and consumption from the 2011 film SAMSARA that’s been doing the rounds of late. Producer Mark Magidson sez:

We are happy this clip has struck a chord with so many people, and we hope that the interest in this clip will lead viewers to see SAMSARA in its entirety. This clip represents only 6 minutes from a 100 minute long film, which was photographed in 25 countries and explores many other diverse aspects of the human experience. We would love for viewers to experience SAMSARA as a whole.

WikiPearls are balls of Ice cream encased in an edible protective membrane, which prevents them melting in your hand.

‘Inspired’ by the design of the human cell and invented – in collaboration with French designer Francois Azambourg – by Harvard professor David Edwards, the frosty treats are currently available in three flavours at the Wikibar in Paris – mango ice cream with a coconut skin, chocolate ice cream with a hazelnut skin, and vanilla ice cream with a peanut skin – the concept may soon be extended to yoghurt, cheese and coffee.
