Health Care Law Includes Menu Reform

The health care reform legislation that President Obama signed into law today also includes a new requirement for the country's restaurant chains.
Restaurants chains with 20 or more locations will be required to post nutritional data for their menu items. The requirement is modeled on similar regulations already in place in New York City and California.

The NRA (National Restaurant Association) is praising the requirements:

“The passage of this provision is a win for consumers and restaurateurs,” said Dawn Sweeney, National Restaurant Association President and CEO. “We know the importance of providing consumers with the information they want and need, no matter in which part of the country they are dining. This legislation will replace a growing patchwork of varying state and local regulations with one consistent national standard that helps consumers make choices that are best for themselves and their families.”

The regulation will also apply to posting nutritional information on the outside of vending machines. The American Beverage Association has announced that their members were going to start doing this anyway.

PERFECT PEOPLE (TRADUCTION)

Quant la Layla Heyer celebrava els seus 15 anys fa 4 setmanes, ella no volia roba, ni joies, ni maquillatge. La Layla el que volia era nas nou, i els seus pares pagarien l'operació."És un regal fantastic", deia la Layla. Es el meu cos, jo se el que vull. Ara en realitat en sento més feliç. El doctor Hal West era el cirurgia plastic de Layla. " en el pasat els meus pacients eran més grans" deia el doctor. "Però ara veig 20 adolecents a la setmana". Ells volen estar més atractius, i bé. Però nosaltres no podem resoldre tots els problemes amb les operacions. Una mare pensaba operar a la seva filla d'once any, que era obesa i no era popular a la escola. La meva opinio, es que es irresponsable.

La cirugia plastica pot set perillosa i dolorosa això és comú en els USA i Brazil també és molt comú en UK. En les resvistes Britaniques recentment preguntaven a les noies entre 13 i 15 anys, la seva opinio. El 40% es farien la cirurgia plastica, només el 8% està bé amb el seu cos. Però per que?

Pot ser que algunes imatges de "gent perfecta" en revistes i en televisio. Les persones miren imatges i es senten lletjos. El Doctor West confirma que moltes vegades els pacients porten fotos o quadres a la clinica. "Ela nois es volen semblar a Brad Pitt" diu ell. "Les noies volen tenir el nas de Jennifer Aniston o les curves de Jennifer Lopez". Però la gent es sentira millor desprès de la operacions? Tu no has de tindre un cos perfecte per ser una persona bonica i feliç.
