How does this align with the Minister of Health goal of "eating more healthy" for a population that is witnessing a surge in Diabetes and Obesity?

How does this align with the Minister of Finance goal of saving valuable and scarce foreign exchange?


How does this align with the minister of Agriculture goal of buying local produce?


And what of the Trinidad Express- glorifying the establishment by normalizing the outfit and a lack of any critical reporting.

There's an upsurge of juvenile diabetes/obesity in Trinidad over the past ten years, in
addition to the grim adult statistics.

The plethora of Junk food adds to the burden on an
undermanned and archaic health care system as exists.

In reply to johndom90

Good point, and I will ignore the sicko comments by the "kakahole"

Look, there are many concerned Trinis fighting this epidemic- look carefully, see who is pushing this American junk food industry to every nook and cranny in the country.

This is bad for Trinidad- health care spending on the up, a sicker population, foreign exchange shipping away, bad employment trend, a threat to native foods and a threat to the economy.


I read somewhere where Trinidad currently ships $6 billion TT dollars in foreign junk food franchises.

In reply to camos

Its not a "fake" problem though.

In reply to Emir

this is just as bad as drugs

In reply to methodic

And it is getting worse- a national epidemic. Yet still, you see no focus and concerted attempt by successive administrations to shake it down- seems only the poor doubles man get stick.

The Syrians and French Creoles running and owning these establishments throw financial support to both parties and they own most of the media.

So who is there to look after the children and help parents choose good nutritional diets?

Look, eating foreign junk food twice per year is fine and should be the limit, but the owners of these establishments have more loftY goals in mind and through the media and money power, they have normalized and glorified junk food consumption as modern and hip to youngsters.
