Instead of Eating Carbs, This Girl Turns Them Into Lampshades

Written by Gary

I think I have finally figured out what we have been doing wrong this whole time. We aren’t supposed to eat bread, we are supposed to use it in our home decor. Obviously.

In more crazy news out of Asia, Japanese artist Yukko Morita decided to throw shade (yes, I just made that joke) at all the third world countries that can’t afford to eat, and turn her favorite food into lampshades instead of stuffing it into her mouth. I guess that’s one way to lose weight. She calls them “pampshades” (pan means bread in Japanese, and lampshade means waste of money, in the universal language of nonsense).

Since Morita worked in a bakery, this idea was pretty easy to come by. I know you are probably wondering why the bread doesn’t just mold and rot away, but she hollows it out and coats it with resin to preserve it. She also uses LED bulbs to prevent forest fires. She may be seven shades of crazy, but at least she is being smart about it.

My guess is, she has never been more thin, either.
