Fruit City seems to be the fashionable UK version...
“Fruit City is a growing map and network of all the fruit trees in public spaces in London. Logged and mapped by the Fruit City team and you.

Zeitgeist
Just the other week we talked about dumpster diving and now the local street magazine Motz put it on their front cover. It finally arrived in Berlin..

During the week of the assignment, Lamia poetically collected, accumulated and color-coded her food intake and created a secret power sauce for her brother’s birthday. Why the birthday party ended up in a chinese restaurant and what really happened to the magic sauce we don’t know..

Luncheon on the L train
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/04/dining/04train.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
“IN the era of pop-up restaurants and speakeasies, flash mobs and social stunts, it was perhaps inevitable that a formal luncheon for a dozen people would be staged aboard the Brooklyn-bound L train. Inevitable, but still impressive.”

Die Dokumentation meiner Nahrungsaufnahme der letzten Tage ist beendet. Abschließend ist zu sagen, dass man von gesunder Ernährung in meinem Fall wohl kaum reden kann. Aber es hat immer geschmeckt und seinen Zweck zur Beseitigung meines Hungers erfüllt.
