Description: Without commentary, the images speak a powerful language about the importance of bread as a staple food for humanity. We see the growth of the grain: plowing, sowing, ripening, harvesting, and milling. In a modern bakery, we learn about the baking process and the diverse range of baked goods. An abundance of bread, pastries, and treats is often coupled with a lack of respect for it. Thus, pieces of bread and baked goods—usable or spoiled—are carelessly and recklessly discarded in garbage cans and classrooms. A lack of bread leads to hunger and malnutrition, unrest and discontent. Many hands reach out toward the bread as an urgent plea to those who are well-fed and prosperous to help the hungry.
