Doomscrolling: We've All Heard Of It. You know, that endless loop of TikTok (or Facebook, or Instagram) content that we all get sucked into every once in a while, scrolling just for the sake of it, not doing anything particularly interesting and certainly not having any fun in the process?

Well, today, that all changes. Let me introduce to you, dear listener, to the concept of joyscrolling!

Did I make that term up just now? Yes, of course - but hear me out. Imagine if, instead of car accident videos, depressing news snippets, and fail videos, you could explore content that was both inspiring AND entertaining!

This is the vision that Joey's Food Fight had when creating their YouTube and TikTok channels, and it is a vision that has slowly been realized over the course of the past few months. Before you can understand that, though, I need to tell you a little more about Joey...

Who Is Chef Joey? Chef Joey Morelli is a Chicago native and the founder of Joey’s Food Fight, which is a charity organization bringing equipment and culinary knowledge to orphanages around the globe. The recent videos on his channels showcase some of this work as he interacts with Cambodian locals through food and friendship.

The latest publication on the Joey’s Food Fight YouTube channel blends traditional cooking content with a ground-level exploration of Cambodia’s most populous city, Phnom Penh. In the video, Joey passes down a traditional family recipe to the children and staff at Hope House, an orphanage and educational center located in the heart of the city.

Watch along as Joey interacts with locals and teaches them valuable cooking skills - who knows, you just might pick up some tips for yourself along the way!

This content covers one of many similar excursions made by Chef Morelli and his team to orphanages and outreach centers around the globe.

As the Joey’s Food Fight content ecosystem continues to grow, new possibilities for further direct action campaigns will open up, including a planned future collaboration with the World Central Kitchen and other similar groups.

The guiding motto behind all of the content that Joey produces is “Cook, learn, smile, care,” four principles which he brings to each new location he visits.

He has stated that direct outreach - that is, boots on the ground, speaking to children face-to-face - is an infinitely more valuable approach to charity work than simple donation of funds, which is why he has taken this route in his career.

Similar to the new YouTube content, the charity regularly posts on a TikTok page as well, with recent uploads covering Chef Morelli’s visit to Ukraine. If you want to keep up with Joey's exploits, follow this page for more short-form snippets from the team’s global travels - meanwhile, the YouTube page will continue to cover these trips in a more in-depth fashion.

Both of these pages will continue to grow as Joey Morelli furthers his mission to provide food and facilities to orphanages around the world, bringing his smiling face and easygoing sense of humor to those in need along the way.

What are you waiting for? Your joyscrolling journey starts today, with content that will warm your heart and feed your soul - and, maybe, your stomach as well!
