food fast healthier

  • It seems to me that the fast food industry should be blamed for most if not all of the obesity in America. People want to eat healthy but the fast food industry has taken over. There are no other alternatives. Sure they claim to have healthy alternatives but when you look at their version of a healthy alternative in most cases you are back where you began. For instance the salad that they offer has the same deep fried chicken loaded with sodium that they put on the sandwich and the salad dressing is loaded with empty calories. Shouldn't the fast food industry be held more accountable for the products they serve. One sandwich can have the entire days worth of fat and calories. Like it or not fast food is a way of life and the industry should bear some of the blame. We should start a campaign to reduce calories across the board.

  • Higher minimum support prices for foodgrains are good for farmers. Not so.
  • The move to a Goods and Services Tax will reduce the burden of taxation. I hope not! Or the already massive fiscal deficit will soar higher.
  • There is no role for monetary policy when inflation is driven by supply shortfalls. Not quite.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Our labour laws protect labour. Quite the opposite
  • The exchange rate only matters to exporters. This is a common misperception, even among trained economists.
  • Reducing fiscal deficits hurts growth. In the present "stimulated" environment, there is much anxiety that a reduction in the current record high fiscal deficits (over 10 per cent of GDP) will hurt growth.
  • Subsidies on food, fuel and electricity mainly help the poor. Not so. The food subsidy mainly helps better-off farmers and consumers in only four or five states where the public distribution system has effective coverage.
  • Foreign capital inflows are always good for our economy. Twenty years ago, most Indians believed the opposite, that all private foreign capital inflows were bad and somehow designed to impoverish us.
  • Private provision of infrastructure can effectively substitute for government. Private public partnerships (PPPs) are the ruling mantra of the day. Since the government has failed badly in providing adequate power, roads, ports, water, sanitation and so forth, we must turn to PPPs for our deliverance.
  • The trader (or middle man) is at the root of many of our economic problems. This is one of our really hoary and hairy myths. Whenever the rate of inflation rises, governments blame rapacious traders and deploy regulations to control their stocking and other activities.
