We went to watch the new James Bond Movie – Quantum of Solace yesterday evening. The boys – T and his brother liked the movie and think it’s good. The folks and I have problem following the storyline.
The movie starts with a big car chase (all together now: eww!), Bonds leaping across rooftops, but the character development is weak and the story line isn’t that intriguing. Though it’s an action packed Bond’s movie, I had trouble staying awake!
T’s brother D came home last Saturday and stayed six days for Thanksgiving. We will be busy spending time with him. D works in DC, he comes home 3-4 times a year and this Thanksgiving I met him face to face for the first time!
The brothers are not particularly close but they seem to get along better this days. All of us included the folks were invited for pizza popcorn dinner at aunt Carol’s place today. They invited us for Thanksgiving dinner on next Thursday. It will be a big Thanksgiving gathering among 20+ family members.
All over the world, poor people who live in poverty-stricken areas are at the greatest risk for hunger and malnutrition. In poor countries, wars and natural disasters such as droughts and earthquakes may also contribute to hunger and malnutrition by disrupting normal food production and distribution.
But, in the land that has so many fat people, it’s hard to believe that malnutrition happens. :-) But someone can become malnourished for reasons that have nothing to do with hunger. Even people who have plenty to eat may be malnourished if they don’t eat food that provides the right nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Parents who are raising picky eater for instance worry the child isn’t getting the nutrients necessary for proper growth and development, and will give supplement like pediasure to the child.
Malnutrition can affect people of every age, although infants, children, and adolescents may suffer the most because many nutrients are critical for growth and development. Older people may develop malnutrition because aging, illness, and other factors can lead to a poor appetite, so they may not eat enough.
