The Harsh Recession Lifestyle

I just caught a bit of Insight on SBS, which was doing a recession special.


Jo and I were both quite shocked by the head of some retail organisation saying how the recession had forced her to start using her kitchen again. As in - she is cooking. WOAH get out! Cooking? How quaint.

She also said people are now buying more staples - like rice and potatoes. RICE AND POTATOES! What new fangled carbohydrates

Is this true - have you been stashing potatoes away for the winter, and actually turning your burners on for the first time in years??

Turns out I've been a freak all along.

haha!

How out of touch she must be!!

I love the fact that while celebs and high flyers go on no-carb, no-fat, no-dairy, no-sugar diets, the majority of the world eat carbs to like, you know, live.

What worried me was that maybe she wasn't out of touch! At least, with middle-upper class people.
