We’re hoping this reaches you...
We’ve run out of time. In fact we’ve run out of everything. Food barely exists anymore. The fields have had it, they aren’t yielding anything anytime soon. The only thing we do have is technology. This is our last shot. Our only shot. We don’t know if this will reach you, but if it does we need your help. First there’s something you need to know…you might want to sit down. This is a message from the future, from the year 2053. My name is Ra and I’m writing this with the help of my friend Mikky. We’re some of the last people alive in Europe. Everyone else is gone. It’s all because of the food, farming was unsustainable and now we have nothing left.
That’s where you come in. We believe that we can still change things, that you can change things for us. Everything has consequences and if we help you choose the right things to eat now, maybe that will affect us here in the future. We’re desperate and I know it sounds selfish, but we’re the children of your generation and you’ll be living in this world with us.
The answer to our problem is surprisingly simple. Insects. I know, who’d have thought it. Now you may feel slightly sick thinking about insects but let me tell you, scavenged scraps are much worse. Insects are the sole reason the rest of the world are okay, 80% of the population already ate them, but they still don’t have enough to share with us.
So please, the more we see you guys starting to eat insects, the more we believe our world and your future world, will start to change.
We’ve found out one of the most popular ways to chat in this time is through ‘tweets’? The platform with the little blue bird. So we’ve linked our tweets to this blog. Get out there, eat some insects and watch our story change before your eyes, just don’t forget to mention us with the hashtag #feedthechange. If you guys have any questions don’t hesitate to ask either. We’ll be writing more soon.
