KUALA LUMPUR (April 12, 2009) : A return to simple things and less dependency on subsidies are some of the ways to beat the economic downturn, says a consumer researcher.

 Speaking at a forum on the global financial crisis in Malaysia last week, Consumer Research and Resource Centre CEO Paul Selva Raj (pix) noted that resources such as oil, natural gas, topsoil, fresh water and forests are non-renewable and will someday be depleted.

KUALA LUMPUR: There will always be food at markets and in hypermarkets, but at what price?

Consumer groups, an academician and government authorities believe consumers are being forced to pay high prices although the reason for the hikes since last year is no longer valid as fuel prices have come down.

An academician said this was because wholesalers and retailers were unwilling to give up the "new" profits they were making.

ATLANTA – Hundreds of people have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs in four states and possibly more, health officials said Wednesday as a company dramatically expanded a recall to 380 million eggs.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working with state health departments to investigate the illnesses. No deaths have been reported, said Dr. Christopher Braden, a CDC epidemiologist involved in the investigation.

Initially, 228 million eggs, or the equivalent of 19 million dozen-egg cartons, were recalled by the company Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa. But that number was increased to nearly 32 million dozen-egg cartons.

CHICAGO – A stunning one in five teens has lost a little bit of hearing, and the problem has increased substantially in recent years, a new national study has found.

Some experts are urging teenagers to turn down the volume on their digital music players, suggesting loud music through earbuds may be to blame — although hard evidence is lacking. They warn that slight hearing loss can cause problems in school and set the stage for hearing aids in later life.
