Lentil Soup of the Week
If ever there was a sign that Abbott the Rarebit will never strut the world stage as a leader of anything, it would have to be his utterly uncalled for and ungracious remark about Julia Gillard on her 50th. ‘I wish her a happy birthday but…….. I am not sure she will have many more years as Australia’s PM”, followed by his very best and very special condescending sneer.
He just couldn’t leave that last remark out, could he? How silly and utterly telling of a small man no matter how often or how big he prances around in his speedos or hops from the bicycle.
Then there is the opposite; Julian Burnside making an apology to Tony Abbott for the words ‘Paedos in Speedos’, a remark he claims to have heard on a BBC comedy. A twitter Gaffe, apparently. It’s all becoming very edgy lately.
Last but not least, a real cruncher on all world markets again, despite Europe promising to not let Greece go into faillissement, the markets are continuing their downward path . Finland is vehemently opposed to bailing out Greece. Is Europe now doing a US and print billions in order to stave off the inevitable?
Last but not least (again), the supermarkets are continuing their downward spiral as well, in rubbish food that is. The ready- made sauces, the instant noodles, the shelves groaning with all sorts of pre-digested sugar, salt and fat items. I saw cheese in a tube today! Just as a challenge for you piglets, try and find dried lentils.
In the US, a voluntary set of nutritional standards on food was put into place together with information for shoppers to help make up their minds. It looked good but did not work. Which stressed mother/father has the time to read about kilo-joules or carbon hydrates on every item? Of course, when the setting of standards was left to those that profit from killer food items, it did not take long when Frooty Loops were found to be on the list of ‘high nutritional value’. It all came to nothing.
Anyway, the time for lentils might well be upon us. We will all start to lose weight and regain what was here before the Age of Aquarius.
