Keynote
Food, The Great Disruptor!
Mikey entertains and informs as he explores the world of change and disruption through society’s relationship with food. Food is not only the most essential staple of human life it has also been the greatest implementer of change in our history. Using hilarious and thought provoking stories from his new bestselling book Seven Deadly Sins and One Very Naughty Fruit Mikey insightfully navigates your audience through the themes of disruption, innovation and determination as he discusses how society has grown and become more tolerant by the very thing that binds us all, food.
- How we have dealt with our changing tastes and food technologies over the years? Who has seen opportunity and thrived? What impacts have these changes had on our everyday lives?
  Includes stories of the accidental invention of the microwave & its bizarre role in the Cold War, the first multi-million dollar weight loss regime, how Canada invented the Hawaiian pizza, and the story of a chocolate bar with the bizarre name of “Chicken Dinner.
- How has innovation and looking outside the box made some people rich and left other’s behind?
  The incredible story of the woman who, through sheer will, overcame sexism, complacency and snobbery to give us the dishwashing machine, the man, the son and the moist towelette who (along with KFC) changed the world of catering, how Arab traders convinced the Romans to splurge on expenisve cinnamon, and the unintentionally sexy ad campaign that brought avocados to a mass market.
- What effect has ignoring the changes in people’s attitudes to food had on the foolish?
  How one man convinced the French that, not only were potatoes delicious, they didn’t give you leprosy, the controversial history of the fork (and why the British Navy banned it for being too effeminate), the almost overnight collapse of the Victorian pineapple rental market, where Vegemite went wrong, and how one medieval Pope turned caviar from something considered to be only fit for starving Russian fishermen to the great delicacy it is today.
  A side-splitting, fascinating and down-right thought provoking romp through the social, political and economic changes that our desires for food has brought to our shared history, these are stories of people that instigated change and the ways in which societies adapted and embraced those changes.
