Today we are having the Easter Sunday family lunch. I expect there will be food left over. I remember my parents reminding us of the kids in Europe just post WW2.
‘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.
The bike looks like it was purchased as an exercise tool and having been ridden once was shoved in a shed.
