Blood, Sweat and Takeaways and tantrums
Yesterday’s BBC3 documentary Blood, Sweat and Takeaways plonked six young Brits onto the production line of a tuna processing factory in Indonesia, with predictable consequences. The Brits can’t cope with the living conditions, the heat, the factory environment, the tasks they are allocated – they vomit, they faint, they cry, they throw each other through plate glass windows but in the end they swear that they will pay more for their tuna at Tesco. They move from disgust at the lives, latrines and livelihoods of their Indonesian hosts to an appreciation of how much work goes into the food they buy back home. Looks like the supermarkets should be telling us about where our food comes from and about the lives of the people who produce it. Next week – the prawn industry
