I could foresee negotiations over this boomeranging into the US putting a damper on sending meat to China for processing and then shipping it back, speaking of food standards. That has always disturbed me. Our food standards have been degraded. Maybe a level of concern over our own citizens and the foods we eat is a good thing? Better than always kowtowing to the latest harebrained scheme to shave a penny or two off the cost of goods to pad the bonuses of a few MBA’s.
Their dental care is still so poor that our food is probably a challenge for them to eat.
1) Mexico surpassed the US as the fattest country several years ago. Given that Mexican food is the most delicious food in the world, this probably is not surprising.
2) I recall this fight against obesity starting in the 1970s. It seems that obesity has increased every year since.
3) I do not see how eating imported meat and vegetables is going to make one any fatter than eating home grown stuff. Isn’t the calorie content about the same?
4) That thing about traffic lights must be a British thing. Something about British vs. American language, I suppose.
Not just fat and sugar but salt. Most processed foods like in cans or flavor or soup packets are saturated with salt.
Its cheap.
Huh. Too bad they didn’t feel that way about American food during the World War(s) when we kept them from starving.
Has anyone ever seen a “full English breakfast”? They should come with their own defibrillator.
It's very effective indeed.I have it on good authority that elephant and giraffe meats are very low in fat and high in good cholesterol.
I agree and see it walking around everyday.
Ha ha his name is “Peter Plate”?? LOL
Corporate American farmers are the biggest welfare recipients in the world and purvey processed poison. Obese Americans like that to feed their sugar, chemical, fat addictions.
Here is a tip, grow most of what you can yourself, and don’t eat processed poison. Stop being fat assed lazy.
well,it IS the Manchester Guardian, after all. One should always understand that everything they publish is gibberish ...
My diet this winter has been successful.
Off to Walmart I go to get a new belt—I have dropped down to where I need a men’s 32 belt.
The belt rack tells quite a story.
There were hundreds and hundreds of belts—44,42,40,38,36, a few 34s, and exactly one 32 belt.
Walmart believes their customers are hefty—and that is based on inventory turn—not good.
