We are a group of physiotherapists that have been forced to do a survey about junk-food and peoples thoughts about it, please take your time to answer these questions.
Why aren't we investing in long-term solutions such as improving the quality / nutritional value of the soil?
Why do you think fast food has become so widespread, despite the poor quality?
Why are people still "uninformed" about food, although knowledge is available?
Why do scare campagns do poorly in your country. if they do ?
Do you think that people who drink alcohol or smoke should have to pay for treatment of diseases related to lifestyle, and why?
what country are you from?
Thanks in advance.

Melinda Gates Denies Her Children the Sweet, Delicious Temptation of Apple Products – GIZMODO
In a terse exchange with the New York Times, Melinda Gates, wife of billionaire tech playboy William Gates, says she's all but banned Apple products from the Garden of Eden—er, her household.
It's a show of solidarity with her husband, the former head of Microsoft, who famously banned all Apple products from his company's campus when he presided there in his spartan Microsoft Office-equipped office back in 2005.
Business Insider has graciously excerpted the Apple-related answers from the interview, all of which are short enough to feel right at home in a Twitter feed:
Do you own an iPod, which is made by Apple?
No, I have a Zune.
What if one of your children says, "Mom, I have to have an iPod?"
I have gotten that argument - "You may have a Zune."
Do you have an iPad?
Of course not.
Is it true that Bill works on an Apple laptop?
False. Nothing crosses the threshold of our doorstep.
Isn't there room in this world for both Apple and Microsoft?
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh. Go talk to Bill.

I do the same thing though... no one is allowed to borrow or sync music with my computers unless they have a Zune or something besides an ipod. I don't help my friends with macbooks, iphones or any other apple products they have. They made fun of me when I got a zune so they can rot in hell! haha
Hmmmm... what happened to [OP]?
good day.
Yeah, so we're having a son in about 3 weeks and I agree with this style of parenting.
No Apple products in my household.
I'm not raising a family that buys easy at an overpriced rate rather than works to learn easy, gaining essential knowledge on the way.
Stupid people spending stupid money is why we just had this recession in the first place.
No gimmicks in this house.
No tyrants either.

Arizona marches to the beat of its own drummer. But if that drummer gets upset and starts hollering on the Internet, he might get tossed in the clink.
After spending years targeting illegal aliens, the Grand Canyon State is turning its sights on obnoxious Internet users (commonly called 'trolls'). A new update to the state's telecommunications harassment bill could make the practice of harassing people online illegal.
Arizona House Bill 2549 has already passed both of the state's legislative bodies and is currently sitting on the desk of Governor Jan Brewer. While there's a lot in there that doesn't concern trolling, here's the line that has people worried:
It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use ANY ELECTRONIC OR DIGITAL DEVICE and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person.
Violators could be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor and face up to 6 months in jail. If electronic devices are used to stalk someone, the charges then become a Class 3 felony, with penalties ranging from a minimum sentence of two and a half years in jail for non-dangerous offenders with no prior record to 25 years.
At the heart of the bill is an anti-bullying agenda. Cyber-bullying has been on the rise in recent years and has been in the news lately. A 2010 report in The New York Times found that one of out five middle-school students said they had been victims of cyberbullying.
Despite its good intentions, the Arizona law is already being called "overly broad" by critics. By using vague terms like "annoy" and "offend," it could easily encompass Internet forums or even comments like the ones found at the end of this story.
Free speech groups say they don't believe the law would ever stand up to court scrutiny if Gov. Brewer does, in fact, sign it. And many have pointed out the flaws in the bill to the governor herself.
"Government may criminalize speech that rises to the level of harassment and many states have laws that do so, but this legislation takes a law meant to address irritating phone calls and applies it to communication on web sites, blogs, listserves and other Internet communication," Media Coalition wrote in a letter last week.
So tell me guys what do you think about this? I for one do not live in Arizona so it does not affect me but still its alittle stupid.. we can't have fun anywhere can we?

From what I can read, it's only for government use, not for the public.

In the end, Congress decided on a measure that will essentially ban the US government or anyone that wants to work with the US government from using components from Huawei, ZTE, or a number of other Chinese communications companies. The ban goes into effect over the next two years.

Did you actually read the article?
"The ban which is part of the Defense Authorization Act bans phones and parts produced by Huawei and ZTE from being used by United States government or anyone who wants to work with the government."
It's very important to read everything mentioned in an article else false information will be spread. In this case it doesn't affect normal users and it's only about the US.
It all starts to make sense.
