#1 Never mind the malnutrition, worry instead about a possible heat wave. Granny will fry before she starves. If past performance is any indication.

#2 Experts believe up to half of elderly people in hospitals and residential and care homes are malnourished.

Which experts? Probably the ones from The European Nutrition for Health Alliance like The alliance's co-chairman Professor Jean-Pierre Baeyens

Don't we get enough of this agenda crap on this side of the big pond to understand this stinks of junk science and the "oh, look at me, look at me" syndrome.

#3 I wouldn't worry - I'm sure that Europe's short term Islamist problem will cancel out their long term elderly problem.

#4 I'm doubtful they'll do anything about it (except hold meetings at expensive resorts, of course).

More likely they'll talk and talk and ~~not so~~ secretly hope the deaths of a good number of their elderly from malnutrition - and another heat wave - will take care of their pension funding problem.... :-(

#5 the Romanian outbreak of Avian Flu will do the trick for them....
