Dieta


No Diário Digital:
"O partido ecologista europeu, os Verdes, pediu esta terça-feira à União Europeia (UE) a proibição dos anúncios televisivos aos restaurantes de comida de plástico, de modo a reduzir o risco de obesidade entre os mais jovens."

Antes de começarem a proibir a liberdade de expressão das empresas (das pessoas a seguir?), que tal acabar com os subsídios ao açúcar!!!
"As the battle rages over reform of the EU's agriculture regime, a report has claimed that Europe's six biggest sugar producers received 819 million euro in subsidies in 2003.
(...)
The sum is similar to the estimated 800 million the EU and its members pledged for Iraqi reconstruction from November 2003 until the end of this year at a donor's conference in Madrid last year.
(...)
According to [Oxfam International], for every one [1] euro worth of sugar exports the EU is spending 3.30 [euros] in such subsidies.

This, they say, allows European producers to undercut producers in poorer countries who receive little or no such payments."
