… And if you want to think about food specifically today, check out this food photography project that has made its rounds round the Internet for a while and which pictures what an average weekly grocery trip looks like for families around the world.

Unrelatedly, but importantly, sad news from the US in the last couple of days where a freak blizzard decimated South Dakotan cattle farmers’ herds. And with the USDA still in furlough and the farm bill expired, these ranchers might need to wait a long time before they see federal help arrive. Another one of these examples where systems had been out into place to prevent hardship, only to be disrupted in times they were really necessary because of political squabbling. I hope by tomorrow American politicians will have come at least to a limited agreement and will let the world economy out of its current state of limbo…
