Unhealthy Food Taxes Vital To Fight Obesity: U.N. Investigator

Unhealthy diets pose a greater risk to global health than the increasingly regulated sale of tobacco and governments should move fast to tax harmful food products, a United Nations investigator said on Monday.

In a statement issued on the opening of the annual summit of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Belgian professor Olivier de Schutter called for efforts to launch negotiations on a global pact to tackle the obesity epidemic.

The United Nations is quickly slipping away to the United Nations and under the control of Muslims.

Notice that the majority of Obama's cabinet are foreigners with foreign names.

You people need to watch the Hunger Games and realize that is the future of America.
