...growth estimates of 9% at the beginning of the year have been revised to well below 7%, and the effect is directly visible in the realty sector. "No one's buying anymore," says Ashwani Shukla of New Delhi-based Triveni Associates. "Two years ago, 25-year-olds earning fat pay packets from [multinational corporations] were buying high-end apartments. Now there are no takers for flats selling at 20% markdowns. Estate agents are finding it difficult to even meet daily overheads...
Harvard’s checkbooks may be fat, but its students aren’t. Harvard’s high proportion of student athletes and a general perfectionist attitude have likely spared it from the national obesity epidemic—look around any dining hall to see students noticeably thinner than the national average. Of course, the same factors that keep us fit also leave us vulnerable to eating disorders. However, HUDS’s recent decision to remove nutritional information from dining hall placards will not only serve as an ineffective means of fighting eating disorders, but also deprive...
...only ones HUDS serves, and we as a school should make an effort to promote healthy eating for all of our students. I often see people filling a plate with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, and while neither food is poison on its own, a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal without enough vitamins or a full complement of protein can cause weight gain and feelings of lethargy. Also, a tendency to strictly subdivide foods into a “healthy” and an “unhealthy” category (brown rice good, cookies bad) ignores the importance...
...Admittedly, the information provided by HUDS before this year was not perfect. Though a breakdown of fat, carbohydrates, and protein and a suggested serving size is useful information, it is too complicated to help plan a nutritionally balanced meal on the fly. Ideally, dining halls could provide some of the information displayed in the past along with a picture of a plate with appropriate portions for each meal. Not only would this help the majority of Harvard students easily identify the appropriate ratios of main courses to sides in a given meal, but also might even help students with eating...
...Professor Masahiko Okada of Niigata University School of Medicine questions the hype around the banana diet. The human body has three essential nutrients - carbohydrates, fat and protein -, he says, and "the golden rule is to balance these three nutrients and a daily calorie intake. Once you understand that, you don't have to be swayed by the fad diet any more, whether it is a konnyaku (alimentary yam paste) or a banana diet." But a nation prone to dieting fads often ignores such sober advice...
