Yes, I am aware of, & I do follow, what is going on in Sri Lanka right now. I have even proposed a solution.

I happened to see this article in the esteemed ‘The Washington Post‘ today & I had to smile when I saw this picture. Aahhh!

He doesn’t look exactly undernourished. If anything I would wager that he is obese! Well, he should be cutting back on what he is eating — and definitely so on the ‘coconut milk‘. In Sri Lanka what we call coconut milk is NOT the clear, healthy coconut water which has become a health fad in the West.

So, to be fair, in his case, the food shortage is doing him a favor. Might extend his life.

You would think that The Washington Post could have found a better subject to interview & use in a photo. Worst case they could have used MY picture. SMILE.
