Looking Back and the New Year Ahead...

It's now 2010.  Honestly, I am no longer connected with the fastfood sector. I chose to come back to do academic research and extension which I have no problem with in terms of principles. Looking back, what could be the purpose of my being involved in the fastfood industry?

As part of my academic responsibilities, I attended a workshop for our National Council for Sustainable Development which had been hibernating for quite a while. I was noticeably a new face and most of those involved were quite young but the dilemma right now is resuscitating the concept back towards mainstream knowledge. The meeting were mostly composed of technical and academic people mostly involved in policy research and I realized people like these are not easily encountered by fast food people and it seems I could work out my purpose there.

I never thought of people in groups as fast food people or academic people. I think you get a mesh of both.
