The U.N. health agency is illustrating what many of you have been saying, "food is political."
The agency says world leaders will discuss efforts to control and limit (pass laws) on junk food eaten by children when they meet in New York this September.
The heads of state will use the U.N. General Assembly meeting to plan limiting the number and type of ads that children are exposed to.
WHO, the Geneva-based U.N. health agency says 43 million preschool children around the world are fat and obese.
They even have a name for it, they call it the "fat tsunami."
Bjorn-Inge Larsen of the Norwegian Directorate of Health says that he expects voluntary measures limiting junk food to eventually evolve into laws banning the practice in the same way that has occurred with tobacco.
So, once again the greed of politics and food are at work, and we need to keep an eye on this.
When we see that fraud plagues Global Health Fund and $21.7 billion development fund backed by celebrities and as much as two-thirds of grants are eaten up by corruption, we get suspicious with all these organizations.
A lot of the money is accounted for with cooked books and forged documents suggesting it was pocketed.
Even donated prescription drugs for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, wound up being sold on the black market.
We are being told that the levels of corruption that have been audited so far are astonishing.
