Hurdling the WYD feeding challenge

The organizers for the World Youth Day Program in Sydney finally announced the 'feeding' plan of the participants in July this year.

WYD pilgrim services director Geoff Morris said the food would come with a distinct Australian flavour, with the iconic Vegemite sandwich and ever-popular Tim Tam appearing in lunch packs.WYD pilgrim services director Geoff Morris said the food would come with a distinct Australian flavour, with the iconic Vegemite sandwich and ever-popular Tim Tam appearing in lunch packs.

The organizers calculated that one million breakfasts will be distributed to about 700 accommodation sites; 1 million lunches to about 300 sites where the faithful will be undertaking catechesis (Catholic teachings led by a bishop) and 900,000 hot dinners to six CBD sites where evening functions will be held.

There you go. One very important concern that most of the pilgrims asked are answered six months before the program proper.

Remember -- leave no rubbish lying around and, stay healthy!
