Fat People Cause High Food Prices?
Now since we are blaming all and sundry for rising food prices across the world, why not include everyone’s whipping boy, the fat people? In a letter published Friday in the medical journal Lancet, two scientists write that obese people are disproportionately responsible for high food prices and greenhouse gas emissions because they consume 18% [...]

Culinary Delights aboard a Cruise
This is part deux of our honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean series.
One of the primary selling points of a cruise is the all-you-can-eat food once you are aboard. The best part about a cruise is that the price includes the top three hassles of traveling – accommodation, food, and travel. While you are technically traveling [...]

Chapatis for Peace
We bought wheat flour (atta) for nearly twice its regular price yesterday. I wondered why the sudden shortage in supply (remember the dal crisis a few months back?). The shopkeeper had no clue.

Early Thanksgiving
Ash and I celebrated an early Thanksgiving this past weekend. Celebrating Thanksgiving is as simple as hogging traditional American dinners consisting of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, French bean casserole, and a plethora of pies. We had a typical international student thanksgiving dinner at a local Baptist Student ministry. Although it was advertised for $2, no [...]
