    Things like this happen. Unfortunately, with France and her appetite for great foods and other long established traditions, this situation spells added grief. Its a shame that something so trivial such as food could possibly rock rooted and beloved traditoins. The best meal I ever had was in France. In-fact, in my travels, I've struggled to find a more palatable country. Too bad. We can only hope things turn around. Theres nothing like a fresh crispy yet airy loaf of french bread. Vive La France!!!

    We have to give up greed and self-indulgence and return to self-sufficency. But we won't. World wide, there will always be those who believe they are entitled by virtue of having enough money to do as they wish instead of realizing they were blessed in order to help others. Even if doing as they wish uses up finite resources.

    There are two ways to become rich: make more money or want less stuff. Eventually, making more money won't do it without a world wide agreement to resist filling our lives with stuff. But people will not voluntarily limit themselves even if it means using up all natural resources such as oil. We all need to put limits on indulgent accumulation and work at becoming self-sufficient.

    You can't stop people from eating what they want to eat if they can afford it. But like all politicians Sarkozy will never fulfil his promises once in power. The French and Sarkozy are now facing the reality.
