We all knew he was a fake immigration solisitor, in Europe, we know he is evil cocian sniffer, we know kuffuor's knowledge and plans to come into power to arrest and jail inteligent Ghanaians, like he did to Tsikata, because he so evil jaelous/envy and not a wise man, the ashantis and the akyim akans get chance to brought NPP into power 2001-2008 because of their population, and evil steeling plans. But you see God never sleep, they are now the loosers and they are trying had to use the evil game to anull the peoples vedict. But we will not allow them and are not afriad of them

No Nutrition Expert will tell you this Food is better or not better to the other. It is what you balance it with.

Your assertion of Noodles with baked beans, ketchup, sardines and etc is the pampering of your dish for that day which might not have been the right balance of meal you wanted, nutrionally.

One thing I know about marketing is that when it is so ripe in the early stage (cash- cow), marketers will use the opportunity good or bad to reap the fast generating returns in that market. It is then that agencies of govt have to step in and control it with mechanisms. The FDB can look at nutrients and see if they do they match- up? Which Ads Standard Agency should see if ads do not deceive people etc etc.

Gh is also becoming sophisticated as people look to balance their hectic days life with enough relaxation than using 2 hours to cook an evening meal. Of course housewives are becoming non- existant anymore, ready meal is the way- neat fufu etc is the way.

The onus is that, Govt (fdb, Ghs and others) step in and use the right mix of tools to control the market, so business do not use the opportunity to jolly- ride the nation.

Instead of sponsoring research work on how these adverts affect our kids who are the leaders of tomorrow, they rather sponsor irrelevant pilgrimage.

Who told them God does not listen to prayers from Ghana?

I share the concern of most of the respondentsto this article, but, lack of health education etc has nothing to do with the consumption of the noodles, but poverty. People will always buy what they can afford

A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa . 'The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?'

After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, 'Wedding Cake.

Any food labeled "instant" has a lot of question mark on it. People who are "LAZY" love such food because they are lazy and most of them do not know how to cook.

The multinational companies love making excessive profit without taken into consideration the well being of the consumers. It is up to each individual to be abreast with what is going on and make his/her own decision concerning such killer foods.

Eat instant foods at your own risk.

IF YOU EXPECT THE FDA OR THE GSA TO ACT ON THIS, FORGET IT. EVERYONE WHO CAN READ THIS ARTICLE MUST TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR OWN HOUSE AND FAMILY. REASON WHY MOST MAY NOT HEED THIS WARNING IS THE HIGH LEVEL OF ILLITERACY, ESPECIALLY ON DIETARY ISSUES AND THE CRIPPLING POVERTY OF MANY IN THIS LAND OF OURS. AS FOR ME, I USED TO BUY A CARTON EVERY MONTH FOR MY KIDS. I HAVE ALREADY STOPPED. AS THINGS STAND, MANY OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE UNKNOWINGLY 'SIGNED UP' AS FUTURE CANDIDATES FOR HYPERTENSION, CANCERS, ETC. SAVE YOURSELF. A WORD TO THE WISE....
