Like the people that makes those ridiculous sculptures out of chocolate or take a huge block of cheese and shape a bust out of it? Idk what they do with the food afterwards but it always seems like a massive waste or resources. Like sure these people have talent but is what they are making really worthy of consideration? Imagine being some poor cocoa farmer who’s basically a slave or just straight up is a slave and all you existence is to farm cocoa for chocolate that isn’t even consumed? Some asshole just shapes into a giraffe for some rich fuckers to look at then throw in the trash to rot after maybe taking a bite. Or having some 40lb block of cheddar who’s caloric density could feed a small family for days and they just cut it up to make a stop motion bust of some fucking cartoon character? You do the same shit with clay that I could dig up in my yard.

Every time I see one of these videos it just kind of pisses me off. Maybe I would feel different if there weren’t people starving and/or being horrifically exploited all over the planet.

    the guy who make massive chocolate things tries to make the edible, i heard, and the point of making things out of chocolate is that is melts and dries really easily. food art as long as it is edible afterwards is fine by me
