Food priorities

EDITOR, he Tribune.

We have one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, but Prime Minister Christie says his government will reduce or eliminate duty on macaroni, ice cream, biscuits, waffles, cakes and pastries.

Why not fresh fruit and vegetables?

A large number of Bahamians suffer from hypertension, but Mr Christie will reduce or eliminate the duty on prepared turkey, ham, chicken and beef meat, which are typically packed with salt. Why not fresh meat?

One thing’s for sure, we are what we eat – fat, sick and not too swift.

Christie dem don't want us smart or healthy. The dumber we are the more votes they get. The more unhealthy we are the more they can pour money into a NHI program. The more money in that program the more money they can get out of it.
