I don’t watch sports. If you asked me the difference between baseball\u00a0and football\u00a0I’d be able to say they both involve balls and in the former\u00a0they hit it with a bat, in the latter\u00a0they hit each other. I don’t do sports. I can barely swim and my dog despairs when I once again throw a ball about 5 feet. That said, I think there are numerous topics associated with the olympics that are worth contemplation. Some are tidbits that I randomly picked up, some are facts I read up on because they are linked to issues I care about.<\/p>\n

Tidbit #1:\u00a0http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/olympics\/2016\/08\/12\/rio-chefs-use-leftover-olympic-food-to-feed-the-poor\/<\/a><\/p>\n

5000 meals for the poor for 17 days. 5% of 208 million Brazilians are hungry each day – that is over 10 million people, most of them children whose physical and cognitive growth will be stunted.<\/p>\n

I’m all in favor of applauding good efforts and bringing attention to the issue of food waste on this planet, but the numbers are staggering, for just one country, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

Serious reading #1:\u00a0http:\/\/www.the-tls.co.uk\/articles\/public\/state-of-calamity\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Before spoiling\u00a0your morning with too much dismal information, here is some art\u00a0– photographed, I believe, 2 years ago at a Brazil exhibit in Frankfurt (I think it might have coincided with the 2014 FIFA world soccer cup also in Brazil – another sport that involves a ball, hitting it with your foot….)<\/p>\n
