BRAZIL: Blessed be the flour
Farinata is a flour made from ground up food. The mayor of the city of São Paulo, João Doria, has proposed making farinata with food close to its expiry date as a way to help reduce hunger and food waste. Doria believes that this “blessed” ingredient is the solution to eradicating these problems in Brazil’s most populous city. Doria’s idea has gained some support from various religious groups. But many São Paulo residents have balked at the idea, which they see as an insult to poor people’s dignity.
