[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2114366, member: 510611"] oh yes! My brother and I use this phrase as shorthand every time we talk about another stupid thing that's happening in the world that we simply ought to be doing better. "Where are the flying cars, that's what I'd like to know?":) I'm more cynical about some predictions than others. In particular the ones that tell me I don't need to worry, everything's OK and it's not happening, when the evidence appears to point to the contrary. (Banking crisis anyone?) Also cynical of corresponding "advice" that says it's my responsibility to "do" something about the thing (that isn't happening) when it's obviously a political problem that needs a coordinated political response. (e.g. problem was irresponsible house buyers not crazy interest rates, irresponsible (bankrupt) banks, inadequate social housing). It's quite clear to me that this "food thing" is incredibly political and we shouldn't be trusting a word anyone with a conflict of interest is saying. I'm just a little surprised how deep and widespread that conflict of interest is.:wideyed: CoP [/QUOTE]
