Semi-random Thoughts...

Once upon a time... 

there was a woman called Michelle Obama, who opened a homeless shelter, food bank and soup kitchen in OUR great big empty White House...

and all state capitol buildings around the country did the same... housing in OUR houses for the homeless...

And Michelle served organic, White House garden-grown fruit and vegetables to the poor and homeless... 

... because she thought that if it was good enough for her children to eat healthy food, surely it was good enough for the homeless and hungry?...

 

 

 

 

 And at the same time, she insisted that all children have free access to the best in health care.   As a mother, she knew what it was like when her children were sick or hurt and she couldn't bear the thought that other children were unwell and in pain...

And her husband Barack made sure that all children in the US get the same level of quality education his daughters got at Sidwell Friends School - rich curriculum, small classes, fully-qualified, experienced teachers, no standardised testing etc... 

 

See, he agreed that all of America's children deserved the same quality of life his girls were enjoying... despite what the oligarchs were whispering in his ear...

 

And they all lived happily ever after...

Out Of The Mouths of Babes...

Birke Baehr show us that garbage in equals garbage and disease out - if we knew how our food is manufactured, we'd be horrified...

Thank goodness for young minds not brainwashed by junk food and marketing...

Whirimako Black: "E Te Kai" & "My Funny Valentine"

Two songs (in Maori) from one of my favourite New Zealand/Aotearoa (Land of the Long White Cloud) singers - Whirimako Black...

This song is about Tanimahuta - the god of the forest - and the honor of this god, the honor of food, collecting food, the source of the food, preparation, and family; also the honor of the land and where you come from.   It is an old Tohue waiata (song).
