Now, I Find We’re All Much More Adventurous
December, 2023
It seems like just yesterday I was writing January’s Animal Feed, and now, eleven wild editions later, we’re at the grand finale. What did we learn? Probably nothing, but boy, did we have a blast… And since I still want to share with you what I haven’t shared with anyone yet, here comes the last Animal Feed of the year, packed with transparent wood, chicken nuggets in reusable bowls, the enigmatic @BasedBeffJezos, crypto-cities, and fun?! Bill Granger, the chef who brought avocado toast to the world, once said about breakfast trends, “Now, I find we’re all much more adventurous,” and that definitely applies to us too.
