Ecotarians
EcoteriansWe have all heard of vegetarians and the more sinister vegans but there is a new group out there called Ecoterians.
They will only eat recyclable materials, no animals or vegetables are consumed at all.
Some examples:-
The Martin family from London only eat recycled bricks, sometimes in dust form other times in small pieces; although completely toothless they all seem to be in good health.
A sect in Cork, Ireland live purely on old kitchen furniture, they find these in skips and dumped on the roadside, the leader Paddy O’Kelly said it was great as a single old kitchen feeds his followers for weeks. The spokesman mentioned that because he had scurvy he was suffering and had to eat McDonald’s burgers.
Other less extreme Ecoterians live on cardboard and plastics and there are numerous recipe books available that will help new followers transitioning from normal foods to recyclable items.
Would you become an Ecotarian? If so what items would you eat?

But if there wouldn't be a choice, but to eat recyclable items... For me it would be paper dipped in water please
Curried Foam Sponges
Boil the sponges in salted water until all chemicals have been removed.
If there is a scourer then this should be cut off.
Gently fry the sponges in olive oil with curry powder and simmer for 2 hours. Serve on a bed of shredded cardboard.
Seri...Good for you, paper is nutritious (maybe)
Still warm sometimes

Previous recycled paper on the other hand might be more tasty( like smoked bacon , with great imagination !)
Oldblue..Dumpster life is cool! so I suppose you are recycling, but some of that warm food maybe sick bucket or nappy contents..do check beforehand.
Think i'll skip lunch...and go scavenging amongst the dunes....
Snook, I mentioned that there are slightly less extreme Ecotarians, and I doubt they would have a problem with a little bit of protein in their sand.
You do not have to become one, stick to potjiekos, biltong and bobotie like the rest of us.
I have seen a shop in London (too far away) that serves just empty Cereal boxes.
The only takeaway near you serves large amounts of human hair, so perhaps mould would be a good idea.
I have seen the disclaimer on the Kentucky Fried "chicken" menu, that states that "No chickens were used in the manufacturing process" and then something about small parts maybe a choking hazard.
Serene, Good idea, perhaps served with some sort of saliva reduction?
or as we Chefs call it.."spit".
Serene, You can have whatever you like with your chewed up stone bashed milk cartons.
