Tuna: to eat or not to eat?

In case I need any more convincing, I've also been to the Sydney Morning Herald here and Greenpeace here and the BBC here and ::sighs:: it's not rocket science, is it.

When attitude and behaviour argue

Which crazy writer are you?

...and I so wanted to be Hunter S Thompson... (via twitter, take the quiz here)

My own worst enemy

I hate that I read this:

"I’ve got time to cook Robert’s favourite dishes, to lay the table and light scented candles. We adore travel and can take off at the drop of a hat,"  Laura Scott in The Daily Mail

And immediately thought, “oh, she’s making his dinner – how unliberated.” Which is, quite obviously, complete rot. I know nothing about their domestic situation (beyond their decision not to have children discussed in the article). Thus I’m completely unqualified to judge. As if who makes who dinner matters in the bigger scheme of things. As if I haven’t slaved over a hot stove (allowing for embellishments) whipping up previous partners’ preferred delights, feeling all aglow when I manage to pull it off.

Hell, I even regularly made one boyfriend’s lunch while he showered. It just made sense since I was usually ready in half the time it took him to scrub up and soap off. You know what? I enjoyed doing it so much I wrote about it in a poem. Confession No# 2 – I liked it better when he drove.

Than these men earn in a day

 

Rice farmers earn around

AU$2.60 /day in Noakhali, Bangladesh
