Grotenhuis, Walter. Smakelijk Eten! [Enjoy your Meal!]. Vienna: Autlook Filmsales, 2010. Super 8, 90 min. https://youtu.be/q-hSVkPBwnU.
Enjoy your Meal! tracks down the origin of a meal prepared by renowned chefs. The film traces not only where the ingredients come from, but stresses the impact of their production on local life. Soya beans, the main food for the piglet, grow mostly in Brazil on huge pieces of land, right next to an Indian tribe. As a result, their natural habitat changes drastically. Prawns from the Philippines are cultivated by a former banker, seeing his dreams come true, but at the cost of the local fishermen. Sugar snaps in Kenya are massively exported to Europe. A visit to the land where they are grown shows the reality and how it brings people to desperate actions. Many people in the food industry work hard and try to make a living, mostly without even realizing the long-term impact of this industry on others and the environment. The food on our plate tells a bigger story than we initially know. A creative documentary on how food changes the world. (Source: Associate Directors)
