The cynic in me says that talkfests like World Food Day are just that: talkfests. We meet so you can eat, but nothing actually changes as a result. So I was brought up a little short by a post over at Greens & Berries. World Food Day seems actually to have influenced the way one person thinks, and as she formulates and achieves her plans, may have an impact on the people she works with. That’s heartening, and I feel suitably humbled.
I wish Elaine strength, and hope other people are similarly moved to real action.

Seconded. It may be cynical to say it, but cynicism is all too often an excuse for inaction. I know because that’s the way I use it.
