Thoughtless Food uses design to stimulate debate and discussion about the amount of food waste we all produce. It makes a statement about how little we consider the effort used in producing our food. It is a bespoke food waste bin made using traditional craft techniques – the amount of effort expended on it is obvious. The bin can only be filled – never emptied. When full, the whole bin must be disposed of – dramatically equating the wasted effort of constructing the object with the more abstract effort wasted in producing the food which has been taken for granted.
