Food for thought

Yet again Google captures me before dinner time, but this time theirs a twist.

After searching for a recipe or ingredient on Google, select Recipes in the left-hand panel on the search results page. You can filter your results by ingredients, cook time, or calories
This is a stroke of genius now I can even play Food Roulette  or ask Google Whats For Dinner ? It's ironic when More than one-half of the world's people live below the internationally defined poverty line of less than U.S. $2 a day. Including 97 percent in Uganda, 80 percent in Nicaragua, 66 percent in Pakistan, and 47 percent in China, according to data from the World Bank.

With only 2$ a day to live on it seems hard to imagine that a service like this is needed
Sure its all numbers and I understand what 2$ is but what I can't grasp is 1.6 million New Yorkers live in poverty, struggling to afford basic necessities such as rent and medical care while trying to put food on their tables. While 1.6 million New Yorkers living in poverty shocked me a closer look here in my own back yard here in New Zealand  shows that according to the OECD at least one in five New Zealand children live in severe or significant hardship, while at least one in four children lived below the semi-official poverty line.

• 1 in 25 households do not have access to a telephone, fax or the Internet in the dwelling.
• 1 in 9 people of Mäori ethnicity live in households that do not have telephone, fax or Internet access.
• 1 in 8 people of Pacific peoples ethnicity live in households that do not have telephone, fax or Internet access. 

After all this I'm not sure what I feel like for dinner.
