Food From Everywhere: Tea, Coffee, Sheep Ranches, Fish and Chips
Captions available
The idea
Rail and steamship moved food across the world: Indian tea and South American coffee daily for workers, fruit, a more varied diet. New Zealand became Britain's sheep ranch, the anchor says, and fish and chips, cheap parts fried in newspaper, the first fast food.
In practice
Single-product appendages feeding the industrial core.
Where people slip
Varied is not nutritious; the anchor keeps the distinction.
