Feed: World of Food 1: Afghanistan, in reply to Nat Curnow,
I'm really sorry to hear that Nat - it's definitely a long and painful road. I'm sorry the both of you are having to travel it - but also amazing that you're there with her through it. I'm not too sure about inspirational - I still struggle a lot! But have discovered that learning to love and be excited about food is certainly possible. I'm hoping this project will help extend the comfort zones a bit more, and if someone can find hope in my ramblings, too - then that's more than I could have hoped for :) Wishing all the best for your daughter.

Hey Russell, pretty similar method I imagine, though less heavily spiced and without the heat, from what I can see. More of a stew flavoured with spices than a curry. Going from a quick browse of recipes, anyway - I have very little knowledge/experience with Indian cooking (give me a couple of months :)

Russell, thank you for sharing. Difficult to do, I'm sure, but a wonderful tribute. I'll raise a glass for you and your family and think of you tomorrow. They say the first is the hardest, but I think they'll all be difficult. Made only slightly less so by that final thought of yours. X

Speaker: My brother, my hero, in reply to Don Christie,
I think you're probably right. It's a special kind of relationship, that's for sure.

If you're wondering who he was - Great interview with an impressively sensationalist headline: http://www.vice.com/read/i-worked-out-how-to-remotely-weaponise-a-pacemaker

Thanks Russell - I've been wanting to put something down for a while - It's good to have a welcome home for it :)

Speaker: The act of not eating doesn't…, in reply to Live Below the Line .,
Thanks for the reply.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to suggest that campaigns like Live Below the Line *cause* eating disorders. Much like I don't think it's possible to assign blame to something as complex as eating disorders and I'm pretty sure that if all obviously triggering factors (fad diets, weight loss television shows, deathly thin magazine models etc) were removed, there'd still be eating disorders. Much like alcoholism would exist without St Patty's Day or Tui ads.
But I do believe that campaigns that encourage people to deprive themselves, even for a short amount of time, and put severe restrictions on what they can and can't eat can be triggering for people who are susceptible to disordered eating.
Which is why every time I see campaigns like this spring up I get nervous. And can't help but wonder if there's not a way to raise the money without encouraging behaviour that could even raise the question - regardless of whether it does prove dangerous to anybody or not.
I commend the intention, and the fact that it has been so successful. I just wonder whether it could be just as successful with another method of raising funds. -
Congrats Russell - A milestone well worth celebrating :)

Speaker: Pipes: Understanding Hackers, in reply to Amy Gale,
Haha - Glad I could (inadvertently) help. Just read between the lines of villain-esque photos and sensationalist catch phrases :)
I do know what you mean - I've had the pleasure of reading a lot of either badly written or terribly misinformed/innacurate stuff over the years. It gets depressing.
Hope you finally found what you were looking for.
