Travel Photo Gallery: Luxembourg Photo Gallery La Tomatina is the giant tomato fight held in the town of Buñol in Spain on the last Wednesday of every August. It has become an immensely popular event, but is it appropriate to continue a food fight festival while in some countries food shortages and prices have produced food riots?
At a time of rising global food prices, where food riots have broken out from Haiti to Egypt to Indonesia, What kind of message does this send to the world that struggles to feed itself. It might only be 100 metric tons of tomatoes that is used, but the event serves as a potent symbol of western excess. La Tomatina began in 1944 or 1945, no one knows exactly when or how it started. While Europe was slugging it out in WWII the town of Buñol began slugging each other with tomatoes. Not that life in Franco's Spain was a picnic. Who wouldn't want join in a food fight to let off some steam? Franco actually banned it because it had no religious significance, but it was reintroduced in the 1970's. Today the La Tomatina legend has grown to become an international event that is listed in Things To Do Before You Die type lists and has even featured on a credit card advertisement. La Tomatina though is not a festival suited to the age of mass tourism, where budget airline loads of tourists can do Spain for the weekend and tick another festival from the been there, done that list. This is not to say there shouldn't be large messy festivals. Visit India during Holi to see how joyous a messy festival can be. Location: London - England

Over the coming decades this tally will only increase as the Chinese better manage their population and sporting institutions.
With a traditional medal tally the powerhouse nations always top the list, but I often wonder about the smaller nations that over-achieve. The Economist have also pondered this and have produced a medal tally from the 2004 Olympics by per head of population.  Note how the Caribbean and Eastern European countries fare.
