It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food firstappeared with the label: store in the refrigerator.In my fridgelessFifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, thegrocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or threetimes a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread andmilk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted and we were never troubledby rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetablesare almost unobtainable in the country.The invention ofthe fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Avast variety of well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling,drying, smoking, slating, sugaring, bottling…What refrigerationdid promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing softdrinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a goodprice.##C.onsequently,most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in thetropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mildtemperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter,millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expanse, busilymaintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house --while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, whileits contribution to human happiness has been insignificant.
