So what's the best way to get to Zurich from India?
Nobody except for Swiss Air offers a direct flight, and I'm not very
eager to fly bankrupt European airlines that offer all the goodness of
government run, union backed efficiency.

which reminds me... the wonders of food processing technology mean
that most dried fruits are actually cranberries.
apparently they are very cheap to produce in bulk, last forever,
have a chewy "dried-fruit" texture and can be cheaply inject

I wonder if the Lumière shorts are available somewhere (online?). I've
looked for them, but not found anything. Any idea

ok, it depends on what you mean by "cheaper" :-)

While agro subsidies in the US lead to
overproduction of corn and soy which in turn
leads to processed food based on the same, the
connection between relatively cheap processed
food and the obesity epidemic is tenuous.
First, processed food does not necessarily
decrease the cost of food overall.

most definitely not; EU subsidies go
