‎“Wissen Sie, was ich an der Tugend nicht mag? Wer sich ehrlos verhält und nicht erwischt wird, der hat davon einen Vorteil. Wer sich aber tugendsam verhält, der hat in den meisten Fällen gar nichts davon. Das ist der eigentliche Skandal!“

Martenstein in ZEIT Magazin

Winston Smith is a low-ranked member of a totalitarian party. His job is to change historical evidence, for instance articles, to fit the needs of the Party. He is sceptical about the authoritarian regime and due to this commits ‘Thought Crime’. You better be aware of the fact that “Big Brother is watching you” – always.

Winston and his ‘comrades’ live in an all-controlled world, where even language is controlled by introducing ‘Newspeak’ and history is changed by manipulating articles. In this way, the Party is able to eliminate people from historical evidence and from the minds of humans. They disappear and must not be thought of anymore.

It seems just natural that Winston therefore is wary about the system and tries to escape the rules of the Party, which are very strict. Furthermore, he wants to join the Brotherhood.

Goldstein, the leader of the Brotherhood, is the Number One Enemy of the state and introduced by the Party as the most despicable person on earth.

1984 is about power, oppression and the strong will to escape. It is a distopia of a world where everything that matters is to function in a most inconspicuous way. It is about fear and love. It will make you wonder.

since I am already used to getting weekly deliveries of fresh organic fruit at work, three weeks ago I decided to order organic food from Gut Wulksfelde http://shop.gut-wulksfelde.de to my home, too. It is an awesome concept, as you can match the different parts as you prefer.

I ordered a fruit box worth € 7 and a vegetable box worth € 10. Then I added a loaf of bread and two types of cheese. Altogether it adds up to € 27 each week. Since my boyfriend and I live together it is the perfect amount of fresh food and I do not have to buy any more in the supermarket. 

There are plenty advantages:
1. Free delivery: When you order food that is worth more than € 25 altogether, the delivery is free (otherwise it is € 2,50).

2. Organic food provides a healthy eating: As I am a student, I prefer to buy the cheap products in the supermarket, which are often treated with chemical substances and may cause allergic reactions.

3. Mix and match: You have the opportunity to choose every single thing you like or get a box with mostly locally produced food that is arranged for you. I prefer the box alternative. It makes me eat more balanced, which is even healthier.

4. Weekly delivery: To have an accessable amount of fruit and vegetables at home is a great thing. I now eat more fruit and cook more different vegetables. Also, we eat salad multiple times a week.

5. Delivery even when you are not at home: Gut Wulksfelde has a key for our house door and leaves the boxes in front of our flat door. I am always happily surprised by the mix. Thursday is Gut Wulksfelde day! When I come home from work or Uni, fresh food awaits me :)

6. Unusual vegetables improve my cooking creativity: Lately, I had some cabbage in my box and cooked a great stew, which reminded me of my mum’s cooking – feels like home.

To sum up: Gut Wulksfeeeldeee… I’m loving it! :)
