Economic improvements in recent years have led to a growing middle class of consumers in emerging markets who are seeking better nutrition and, more important, are able to afford it. This group's once predominantly grain-dependent diet now includes meat, milk and cheese, as well as more fresh fruits and vegetables. More than 300 million people in China, probably 100 million in Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia, and millions more in the rest of Latin America and Asia are increasingly beginning to resemble their counterparts in the West in terms of what they eat and how they shop for groceries...
...Lashing out at Kim's pariah regime was a relatively easy call for Abe, who has profited by using Pyongyang as a punching bag before. The Prime Minister might still be an ordinary Diet member if he hadn't raised his profile by becoming a vocal advocate for Japanese abducted by Pyongyang?an emotive issue in Japan after North Korea admitted to the kidnappings in 2002.

His maiden Diet speech contained a lot of rhetoric about the need to make Japan a "beautiful country" without mentioning specific, results-oriented policy initiatives that were a hallmark of Koizumi's administration. "He talks about economic revitalization and closing the gap between urban and rural regions, but he insists on cutting public...
...ready to take the sugar-free plunge, how do you do it? The authors' recommendations are diet classics: more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and plenty of exercise. Gott likes artificial sweeteners like Sweet 'N Low; Bennett hates them. But whatever you do, stay away from the Halloween goody bags...
