While I agree with Dr Jennifer O'Dea's view that a tax on take away food is useless in reducing obesity, I strongly disagree that obesity is exaggerated. Look around; there are overweight children and adults at every turn. She admits that children from low income families have twice the rate of obesity of those from middle and upper income families. The reason why this is so should be ascertained. It is hard to believe that small income families spend more on junk food in real and proportional terms. Dr O'Dea says we should not become emotional about the issue because that is unscientific. Perhaps we do need to be more emotional. The scientific approach is not doing much good. It is true that the problem should be tackled from the top - down. It is parents who can impress upon their children to eat better. Today, high sugar food is so readily available. In the 1960s and before many families didn't have a refrigerator. When children wanted a sugar fix they had...

"Don't worry. The operation will be over in a jiff." http://vistacomputersolutions.blogspot.com/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The world revolves around beer. Some people think so. There are beer connoisseurs out there. Some time ago the Sea Shepherd ship fighting against Japanese whaling brought back polar ice which was made into beer. It was auctioned to raise money for "Operation No Compromise" for the grand sum of $8,000. Beers really getting a run lately. This is a challenge to "space" beer which is to be made for space flights and will take into account gravity and its effect on the carbon dioxide in the beer as well as viscosity. Why the interest in beer? It is so easy to make - just some malt barley, water and yeast. That's all there is to it. I suppose wine is even simpler. All you need is fruit from the grape vine. As humans we always like to play with our food - in this case, drink. http://www.adventure--australia.blogspot.com/ http://www.tysaustralia.blogspot.com/ http://www.feeds.feedburner.com/AdventureAustralia http://www.technorati.com/blogs/http://adventure--australia.b...

Dangle, Dingle, Dongle. They are all out according to the Great God Google. It has taken a business "minnow" offering alcohol price comparisons to court and beaten it to death, well into submission, until it agreed not to use the name "Groggle". This means that Google owns by default all new business names that contain "gle". The result of this courtroom debacle is disgraceful. There should be some way where the little man has the resources to fight a giant like Google. The little business cowered in the corner and quietly murmured " Drinkle! That is what we will call our service ." Only then would Google put the big stick down. What is the world coming to when there is no protection from economic monsters like Google. Though this business wasn't even in the same industry as Google, financial muscle won the day. He had to make an out of court agreement of SILENCE! The owner of the business said he couldn't afford to go on with the court c...
