Stonefruit, Pears and coal mines

With Christmas over and NYE celebrations finished its probably time for most of us to have a good cleansing full body enema. Thankfully for me I've decided to keep eating a little extra and drinking beer for a bit longer yet.
For those keen on the idea wait till next spring as cleansing in the peak of summer is not the best idea. Fasting involves cutting out the sugars and with stonefruits abundant, berries pouring in and now the new season pears arriving cutting out sugar at the moment is not an option. Wait till spring when the apples are tired and the stonefruit hasn't arrived. Basically follow nature's lead.
Biodynamic white peaches from the Strathbogies have arrived and they are no doubt up there with the worlds best peaches. Sweet, juicy and peachy they literally explode in your mouth.
The other meal to eat during summer is the salad. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, capsicum, beetroot, avocado, carrots and herbs are all plentiful and in any combination are a great way to eat when it's hot.

In the world around us we have Mark Vaille, Former leader of The National party, now the CEO of Whitehaven Coal. Thanks to a cheeky protester and a ridiculously lax media, a report circulated that their bank had withdrawn funds from their coal project. This led to a wipeout of $314 million from the share value. This alone raises the absurdly sensitive nature of the share market and how a piece of unchecked paper can cause such a wipeout. No doubt the very same people complaining about the hoax were buying the stock as it went down, all the while "sobbing" for the "mum and dad" investors. Personally if you invest in coal mines in this day and age you deserve to lose your money. And by "mum and dad" investors doesn't Mark mean huge corporate superfunds who invest mum and dads super all the while taking a slice here and a slice there to line their own pockets. Please, give us a break. Next we have Mark Vaille call the hoaxer "un-Australian" Seriously Mark, get your hand off it. Surely being cheeky and sticking it up the establishment is very "Australian" Or has it now become illegal to protest in this country. In fact Mr. Vaille if you told the truth about this project the outcry would increase in volume.
According to Economics at large, a public interest economics group the project is every bit as dubious and polluting as so many other mining projects that go on in the name of "the economy" As for the "happy" people living in Maules Creek. The idea of breathing coal dust, polluting the aquifer and then selling last centuries power source to developing nations hardly makes them happy.
Anyway read this article for a more balanced report, I tend to rant when people with too much power and not enough brains talk so much dribble.  
Did I mention the white peaches?
