It should come as no surprise that the typical American diet isn't exactly brimming with healthy goodness — rather, it's laden with fat, sugar and salt. And now new research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association points to a troubling reason: TV ads for food may be skewing our decisions on what we eat in powerful ways.

|
Malaysia will delay plans to cut state subsidies to allay inflation fears and allow more time for public feedback, a minister said. The government may now phase out subsidies on essential items, from flour to highway tolls, “gradually” within three to five years, Minister for Domestic Trade and Consumerism Ismail Datuk Sabri Yaakob said in a telephone interview today. New proposals will be presented to Cabinet this morning by Datuk Idris Jala and Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, both ministers in the Prime Minister’s Department, he said. |

National Conference: The New Economic Model, Globalisation and the Malaysian Consumer |
|
|
|
|
Friday, 21 May 2010 23:35 |
| | | | |  Greetings from FOMCA! FOMCA, together with the Consumer Research and Resource Centre (CRRC), will be organising a National Conference entitled “The New Economic Model, Globalisation and the Malaysian Consumer” on Friday, June 18, 2010, at Cititel Hotel in Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur. The primary objective of this Conference is to better understand how the recently-announced New Economic Model and the increasingly global economy will affect the Malaysian consumer, whether positively or negatively. We hope to have two outcomes from the Conference: Feedback for input to present FOMCA’s position to the Government on enhancing consumer protection and welfare in the context of the new model and the increasing number of new trade agreements being signed. Educating consumers on how this new model, as well as the new trade agreements, will affect them and what they need to do to minimise the risks.
Attached is the brochure of the National Conference for your perusal. Looking forward to your attendance at the Conference. Thank you.
Yours sincerely, Datuk Marimuthu Nadason
President, FOMCA

Published: May 8, 2010 DEATH NOTICE: The Tooth Fairy died last night of complications related to obesity. Born Jan. 1, 1946, the Tooth Fairy is survived by 400 million children living largely in North America and Western Europe, known collectively as “The Baby Boomers.” “We’ll certainly miss the Tooth Fairy,” one of them said following her death, which coincided with the 2010 British elections and rioting in Greece. The Tooth Fairy had only one surviving sibling who will now look after her offspring alone: Mr. Bond Market of Wall Street and the City of London. |
