1st arm: Hansel and Gretel stand looking around curiously. They don’t recognize their surroundings. There’s a fence around the forest because an investment company is planning on creating a golf club and leisure center here. And a nearby industrial area on the outskirts of town is already beginning to take its toll on the forest. The pollution produced by these industrial plants has already damaged the trees’ roots; many will not survive. This gives the investors a good excuse to cut them all down. Greedy poachers set traps for the few remaining forest animals and some die an agonizing death. The foxes worry about their coats of fur, will they soon be made into fashionable coats for humans? A badger hardly dares to leave his den, asking himself whether it might not perhaps be better to be a mole. The trees view everything that approaches their habitat with suspicion, nearly everything could turn out to be a threat. Nearly starving in the forest, Hansel and Gretel see a land of plenty just beyond. It smells of fried foods, sausages and everything they could possibly imagine.

2nd arm: Heavy and overfed, a young person lies surrounded by an abundance of food. He’s a glutton and can’t decide what to gorge on next: the sausage, the ham, the drumsticks or the chocolate? Maybe some wine or beer? He is obese, just like a good 30 percent of the Earth's human population (Die Zeit online,12 June 17). The people who lived hidden away in caves below him consider themselves lucky, as this excess of food allows them to "steal" a little every now and then – not enough to put on weight, but enough to stay alive at least. The food industry pumps more and more food onto the market, gluttony is what they want. Any leftovers end up rotting in containers. Enough to feed how many people?

3rd arm: But this is not the problem of the "Banksters" while they dance around the golden calf. Their greed for money is a cult that drives them to worship the golden calf. They have forgotten that there are also other values; they see, hear and dream only of gold and the $ sign, their devotion is almost religious. They have become victims of the dollar snake, which, in the beginning, approaches them in disguise. People try in vain to free themselves from their dependence on money. They are in prison with no hope of early release. There is no escape and, once infected, nearly all of them die a money-greed death.

4th arm: Once greed for money has made you wealthy — which can in fact happen (in 2017 0.8 % of the world's population owned 44.8 % of global wealth, while 63.9 % of the population owned only 1.9 % of this wealth — statistics for 2019, source Credit Suisse) — the temptation to indulge in a shopping spree increases dramatically (which at least is beneficial to the economy). The greed for things becomes the norm. Inspired by fashion shows, glossy fashion magazines, internet forums, influencers and luxury fashion houses, people buy until they drop. If they can’t buy castles, large yachts or Ferraris, they can keep themselves happy with the latest gadgets, cool gifts, or luxury handbags, which can easily cost 15,000 euros or more. Designer shoes and extravagant creations bought from famous fashion houses are stuffed into showy shopping bags — so that everyone can see where they have been shopping. An at the end of the successful shopping spree there’s time for a selfie before jumping into a comfortable Rolls Royce or Mercedes to whisk them home, the weight of the numerous shopping bags forgotten. Once at home, they immediately try everything on. Some will now start noticing that these clothes make them look a bit old – which brings us to the next arm.
