A man and a woman are sitting side by side at a table. In the foreground on the crumbled tablecloth which lays in front of them, stands a bottle of wine, two glasses, and an empty plate. Only in one of two glasses is still a rest of wine. A broken piece of bread and a small piece are on the table next to the plate.
The lemon actually makes it taste better to it. It has a pretty strong taste but I personally like it. I put in one apple, don’t put more than one, it’s just a lot of sugar that you don’t need.
The man’s head is turned left to the side, his eyes are sunken and closed. Turned away from the woman next to him, his right arm lies around her shoulders. The absently glance of the woman is directed to the right. She holds her chin with her right bony hand. The hands of the two are oversized and skinny. The bodies are haggard and lean, their contours edged, as well as the folds of the tablecloth.

On average in Germany, we throw 11 million tons of food away every year. Food that could still be used. That’s about 55 kg per head, likewise you could fill Lake Constance twice with it.
Lake Constance, also called Swabian Sea, has a shoreline length of 273 km. Thereof, 173 km are in Germany, 155 km in Baden-Württemberg,
18 km in Bavaria, 28 km in Austria, and 72 km in Switzerland. Lake Con- stance is Europe’s largest drinking water reservoir. Four million people are supplied with the water from the lake. The secret of Lake Constance is its versatility. Whether recreation and relaxation, sporting activity or romance, on Lake Constance everyone gets their money. Visit bodensee.de

Everyone can download it, look in your fridge, you look at something and you don’t know what to do with it. Before you throw it away, you get good tips and hints with the Beste Reste App (Great Leftovers App). With the digitization you can read with an app about almost every product further on your mobile phone where it comes from. You also can read on a tablet in a store, briefly scan over it and then you get the information. That’s changing rapidly.
A human needs an average of 1800 kilo calories per day. If this value can’t be reached the ingestion isn’t enough to hold the body weight and do light work.
But otherwise, first of all it’s great that our shelves are full, that we have goods that we are allowed to choose, that is democracy and an open country.

If no food is consumed, the human body switches to the so-called starva- tion response after just one day. It decreases heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature. The energy is taken from the protein storage, the muscles. After and after your own muscles are consumed more and more. The body first breaks down the muscles, then the fat. If the fat is used up, the organs are broken down. Heart, liver, pancreas, kidney tissue, lungs, and all other organs produce glucose so that the brain can be cared for. The body begins to consume itself. The barrier function of the skin sub- sides, the immune system weakens, inflammation spreads. The organs can shrink up to 50%. Only the brain remains untouched. Those who starve, die with a completely intact brain.
