Half an hour’s drive from The Former Capital, deep in the region’s vast forests at the end of a muddy path you can find Samsonas meat factory. The director guides us with pride and enthusiasm through all the departments of the company. The place where the carcasses enter, where especially strong men with freshly sharpened knives tackle the dead animals, to the large buckets of meat porridge for sausages and wooden drying rooms for hams. “Within 50 years’ time, I expect major changes in meat industry, I think we will eat more insects and worms to get our protein. Nowadays we are not that far yet. Our people want to eat ‘normal’ food. But you never know how fast things can change.”⁠
