Food for Thought

Attended a public meeting at Fakenham Parish Church tonight on the theme: 'Food for thought - Are consumers and farmers getting short-changed?'. Guest speaker was Michael Pollitt, the Rural Affairs Editor of the EDP.

The debate covered a wide range of thought provoking topics, from nobbly carrots to the international sugar trade! Local produce, healthy eating, and the power of supermarkets were all discussed.

The only disappointment was that there weren't more people at the meeting. However, there was a high rate of participation in the debate amongst those who were there.

Afterwards, my fiance Rosalind and I went to the 'Sweet & Sour' Chinese restaurant on Norwich Street. Very good vegetarian selection. :-)

    If you are a resident of the Norwich South constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
