The occasion, a Book Group meeting. A member just back from India, bright-eyed and enthusiastic about the Green Revolution. Famines will be a thing of the past, she averred, frowning upon the doubters among us. I wonder does she still consider that 'Monsanto' and 'altruism' can be spoken in the same breath.

That's a great topic to talk about. Although I don't think Australia is quite as bad as the US at the moment with the obesity problem, it seems to be getting there, but there is realisation for a need for a better diet than the convenience of 'fast food'. I think dining at home with friends and family should be done more, since we all tend to have such busy lives and even dinner out at a restaurant can be a bit stressful with having to book the place, waiting to be served etc.... So when are we gonna have a home-cooked dinner eh? :) Congratulations on your first blog post. That’s a great topic to talk about.
