Welcome! Please come in and take a seat, your dinner is served. We’ll skip the aperitif, amuse-gueules, hors d’oeuvres and other fancy starters and get right to the figurative meat of it all – this issue’s theme is essential stuff. No one can escape it, we’re all addicted to it and all equal before it – or rather below it, like amebas, or »shitting animalcules,« as Jonathan Meese would say. And we all must think and care about it all the time: FOOD.
