Is it because we are an altruistic species, or do we want something in return?
Why do we feed some, and do we forbid feeding others?
Can we build relations with other than human persons through feeding?
Can we make the unseen visible through shared dining?
Or is feeding just another selfish way to mess with nature?
Discover the feeder in you, and share your meal with the fish.
We eat to survive, to transform, to meet, to share, and even to consume one another. Food often serves as a tool of control and affection in our relationships with other species; we feed ducks in parks, design feeders for garden birds, pamper our pets, and leave waste that helps rats thrive. Through feeding, we select who we care for and who we ignore, yet we almost never feed the fish.
