Layers of Shhh
Layers of Shhh examines shame, more specifically food shame from a personal viewpoint through a common daily activity many people share, eating cheese.
We all experience shame don’t we?
It is deeply rooted in us and taught to us from the day we are born into modern societies we live in. Manners and behavior we should know when we move in public spaces and interact with other humans. Other behavior when we interact with other species such as animals. We try to navigate our way through news, opinions, researches and feelings doing the best we can for our planet while staying sane. How to eat right and what to consume?
By learning more about the state of the globe and how our choices affect global warming we create health, ethical and moral codes and many cases identify greatly through them.
Veganism and environmental issues related to food production are very topical subjects today.
