Pork Pies by Hiromi Suzuki

For those who aren’t familiar with cockney rhyming slang, to tell a ‘porky pie’ means to tell a lie. However, the cold hard facts Hiromi Suzuki presents in part two of her infographic triptych are completely true.

“Delicately wrapped in brown paper and twine then placed in a quaint wicker hamper, these picnic snacks appear to be completely harmless. They are actually one of climate change’s worst offenders.”

Why?

The carbon footprint of transporting the pork from farm to fork is only a small fraction of the total production footprint. So although your pie might be made with British pork, it doesn’t mean it’s good to eat.

How?

Packing the perfect picnic is a delicate art and keeping it vegetarian is the secret. Find some inspiration here.
