Burma is still dominating the news; with up to 100,000 dead, Burmese officials are saying that they want aid and not and influx of foreigners aid is now arriving but UN Officials are concerned that the aid will not go to the people who require it.
In other news, Gordon Ramsay has said that restaurants should only serve seasonal vegetables and if they serve out should be fined if they serve out of season fruit and vegetables. He says it would cut carbon emissions, has they would not have to be transported. Am sure this will work (not), what about supermarkets whose imports are far greater than any restaurants.
But what about the farmers of these impoverished countries whose livelihood depends on export they fruit and vegetables to us. I agree something has to be done but I dont think this will work.
