‘Eat your dinner...think of the children in Europe,’ That came out when we were expected to love the taste of tripe with white sauce.
Papua New Guineans are having a bit of a crisis because of the change from village gardens to a cash economy and eating tasty, but unhealthy food. In town centres such as Port Moresby, Kai Bars (roadside food bars) sell a very popular snack which is more than 90% fat...lamb flaps (read hogget) from New Zealand. Several politicians are spearheading a drive to have such imports banned as they can see the results of such a diet.
According to a summary report from a National Capital District workforce study, 40% of the workforce was overweight, 30% obese, 15% had high sugar levels and 20% was not involved in any physical activity. Wonder what problems the other 5% had?
Yesterday I spotted a nearby garage sale and bought a nice bicycle for $20. Helen and James bought a dog kennel for $20 also. Their dog is actually using it and I am using the bike.
