What Did You Have for Lunch Today?

Just two days ago British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was urging everyone to cut down on waste in the kitchen in light of rising food prices and shortages of food stuffs. Then he travels to Tokyo to the G8 Summit and this is what he has for lunch and later for dinner. If you have trouble reading the 24 course menu, click on it to enlarge it. If you still have trouble reading it, it may because you are only used to macaroni and cheese. The topic of the day was the coming world food crisis. Coming!!? Food prices world wide have doubled in the last year. A report just released last week by the UN says that 75% of the increase can be attributed to the fact that a lot of the world's food is being converted to ethanol. All this to save the world from Global Warming! The UN also admitted last week that the overall temperature of the globe has not risen since 2002. My suggestion is to forget about ethanol, which will lower the prices of food, so that when the G8 Summit leaders sit down to their 'over the top' meals, they can do so without guilt.
