When I used to study in the city, I would often buy a can of Organic chick peas for fast meal usage.

Most brands I purchased had a quick release style lid. Eating a can of chick peas can be fast, nutritious, and less environmentally demanding than eating a steak.

In terms of flavour flavour raw chick peas are inoffensive, this is because as you probably allready know chickpeas are a major component of hummus, and I think they are what gives it such a distinctive flavour.

In general flavour has previously been an obstacle to me making nutritious and ethical food choices, but I am currently unsure if taste receptors have any evolutionary value.

On the one hand purchasing from a Super Markets is not very ethical because with every purchase you make you are financially contributing to many different industry’s which may or may not pay their workers a fair price, or treat animals humanely.

Probably part of issue which leads to exploitation of third world people, and the environment is related to the profit making mechanisms of Franchises, however I insist that it must be theoretically possible to have a Fair Trade fast food out let.

Maybe such a franchise would become viable if everything cost ten times more, than at a real McDonalds.

BTW:
Sorry for writing random comments on your blog previously. I asked about modal memory in drunk fish because I am really interested in neurobiology.

I am not sure if anyone would find it very interesting, I am only adding it for extra transparency on my behalf.
