lentils coming from ethiopia, you get wheat from the states, rice from the states,ap apples from france, tea from india, coffee from brazil and columbia, sugar from the windward islands, bananas from all over the place, you know  those are the things that keep us alive, no, you know, whether we one think they are or not, but i mean them things are what keeps the economy alive for one, it's also what keeps us personally alive  if you don't know why we take an interest in third world issues, i would say that it's that, we're dependent on these countries, we could produce enough foods for our own needs, but we wouldn't have oranges, coffee, tea, sugar, you know cos we can't grow them in this country  we, we really depend on those things to stay alive, and for that reason alone we should have some kind of interest, if you went to kenya for example they would be staggered at how little you know about their country given how much they know about yours  they know a lot about this country, a lot of it is a bit loopy, but then what you know about their country is probably a bit off centre as well, and you know i hope that this is something that we're reversing in this section, our perceptions of the third world or the south or whatever we choose to call it, colour a lot of the things that we think and do and say and it increases the amount of racism that there is around us all, all those kind of things, erm and i think that it is really important to look at what a perception is, you know, for example what's your perception of this?
