We came back from the wedding yesterday with a whole heap of chocolates and stuff, given as a gift. It's touching that people are so generous, but quite worrying to consider just how easy it is to come by food in these parts. For example, just last week we were the recipients of two very flavoursome swiss rolls and a bento box simply by virtue of living where we do.
In times when one reads of food poverty in developed nations it seems counter-intuitive that so many goodies can be come by so easily. I find myself having to watchful that I don't over-indulge simply because the materials for such indulgence just seem to appear, yet others struggle with real hunger. The odd lack of balance points to something very fundamental going wrong with the way the world is organised.
