Standards of richness..

You have a super continental breakfast;-rashers, an omelette, toast, cereal, a pie, glass of juice and a nutella crowned muffin with a cherry on top, every morning, in fact every other morning because your menu keeps drifting from food banquet to food banquet. 
Snack time comes and you pull out some skittles, a creamy donut, colour kissed with sprinkles and a milk shake.
By the time lunch has dawned on you, you are surrounded in a party boat of bolognaise, goat meat skewers, some fries of course and not forgetting that cheese cake dessert and the wish list that is always granted you anyway,continues! 

Somewhere in the tropics, a hard worker looking to feed his family with whatever he can afford to dig out of the ground, has his pottage of plantain and fresh beans topped up with some ghee for his breakfast plus a fresh guava at snack time. Lunch times shows itself with some fish steeped in fresh coconut milk, sweet potatoes and garden eggs. After that he has some millet porridge for his afternoon mini-meal and then groundnut sauce with his sweet potatoes again as dinner. May not really be his wish list foodwise but what measure of riches really counts? The cash rich or the health rich?

They call it fast food, I call it a saviour on that rare day, with a quick fix when there's nothing else to eat in the scary dark hour. ...
