Crisis has changed our eating habits

Red meat, fish, fried potatoes and refreshments have been reduced to once a week. Chowing down on lamb or goat is today a monthly affair.

Once-a-week eating out is the habit of 31 percent of people, down from 37.6 percent in 2011.

Notably, the share of people who said they never eat out at fast-food restaurants rose from 48.96 percent in 2011 to 60.08 percent this year, which is attributed to the reduction in pocket money that Greek parents give their children these days.

Wonder if "fast-food restaurants" includes souvlaki shops?

What is being hailed as the world's first commercial regular drone delivery service is beginning drop-offs in Rwanda.

The operation uses fixed-wing drones that automatically fly to destinations in the central African nation.

They release small packages attached to parachutes without needing to land at the delivery points before returning.

The technology promises to make deliveries much faster than had previously been possible by road.
