Livinfarms https://www.livinfarms.com/the-hive-en a Hong kong start up company supplied teh worms and the studenst really embraced the idea that ion the future we may all be eating insects to get enough protein to feed a growing population, and ver a billion people on the planet eat them regularly
This was part of a technology project with students design uniform, window displays, app and graphic designs for a restaurants concept, with students working in groups of 16.

Lords Kitchen Impossible Challenge
Healthy Eating Week was kicked off with the Lords Kitchen class taking on the Impossible challenge. Last week the class was split into teams and given the challenge to design a dish using impossible meat to serve to staff at lunch today, with the aim of making them want to convert to the plant based alternative rather than minced beef. The Boys team went for Spicy Koftas and salad and the girls Quesadillas,, the staff tried both and had to vote for which they would like again in the future. It was very close between the two dishes, but the quesadillas just pipped it by one vote. The huge take away from the challenge was how many people said “I can’t believe it is not meat” and “I will definitely be choosing Impossible in the future.”
