Is it just me?

I was talking about this today actually.

Seeing Gordon on the TV preaching about us wasting too much food. Well, if we buy less food, it is still going to cost us as the prices will go up! I didnt think it was 24 dishes at the G8, was it not 18 courses? (not that that is much better!)

 

I don't know about you, but no matter how much food I eat, its not wasted. Its only wasted when I don't finish what I eat. Does anyone know if there were leftovers from the G8 meal? If not, to my mind, the food wasn't really wasted. Of course, its not as funny if you think about it practically. (shrug)

 

Gotta love John Travolta who warns us about global warming then takes a ride with one of his planes.

 

I looked up Gordon Brown, and he appears to be of moderate weight for a middle aged male with a sedentary job. Chronic over-consumption of food is difficult to hide.

A fancy meal could involve less food than supper at an American mall chain restaurant, where grotesque portions are served on 24-inch plates.

 

You... you say that like it's a bad thing.

 

They worked too hard to get where they are so they should be able to take in the perks. Or something like that

IMO, they should be served half a bowl of rice and a glass of dirty water. Then they can see how 30% of the world lives. All world leaders should be forced to live in a village somewhere in Africa for a month (live like the local) before they can take office. That would put things into perspective for them. The G8 summit is down the road from my best friends cottage next year (or maybe 2010), I am going, might not protest or anything, but I want to see what it is like.

He's a terrorist. Obviously.

 

It was probably a degustation menu. No Burk, that doesn't mean the food was disgusting.

 

It's not just you. The esteemed Al Gore's use of energy is a great example of that.

Maybe the G8 dinner was tapas and everyone actually left dinner hungry after 8 courses.

 

mmmm, tapas....

 

Did they waste food or consume an extraordinary amount of it at the summit? That counts more than the number of courses, especially if it was a dinner served Japanese style.

 

I'm hungry...
