What's Gastro- travel all about?
Challenging the modern day food system and utter synapse like accessibility of nearly any product is an arduous and difficult task. To argue against convenience is sheer blasphemy. Selfishness has taken a malignant stance blanketing the global food attitude. Like a drug, industrial food production stimulates reassurance and promotes a false sense of modernity. Creating an environment that critically induces a forfeiture of reality, inevitably engendering a new reality that stokes fear into many in the thought of its absence. Manufacturing such an exploit on a global scale can only create addictiveness or, revolt. The latter is and can only be achieved from a design of education, inclusion, promotion and involvement.
Approaching tourism with this is mind, we see it advantageous to crucially inspect the way tourism influences a system such as industrial food manufacturing and farming along with the cultural destruction that it can lead to.
Tourism based on the idea of touring is absurd. Travel, is more prudent of a term. Implying that the education of oneself while respectively existing within a place through awareness, ethical understanding and cultural integration leads to an informative experience for both traveler and local.
