TURN OUT THE LITE... by ANDERSON DIGBY
[Negative]
* The mildest thing one would want to say about this horrid dry pink innovation, which sweated under the gril and fell to bits under the knife, was that it was less than a sausage.
*Lite is insipid, weak, denatured, flat, diluted, and easy: food for cowards and children.
*So booming Lite business gives us a picture of the American and British consumer of food. He is ignorant, timid, squeamish, and childish.
*Our moraility is Lite, childish, and diluted.
*The entertainment industry is fluffy and flimsy.

NOSTALGIA FOR KERALA (AND ITS FOOD) by PETE CHERCHES
[Positive]
*There are beautiful beaches and backwaters, places of great historical interest, reflecting the region's varied colonial past, and an overall sense of contentment and well-being among the people.
*Kerala is a success story of the developing world.
*It was a lovely, idyllic place, and I felt a bit like Gauguin arriving in Tahiti.
*Keralan cuisine is one of the world's great culinary secrets.
*I took the LIRR out on a beautiful late summer day for lunch, and the walk was rather pleasant.
