NGOs Decry Industry-Driven Policymaking

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - January 22 - Non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) today hailed the adoption of a World Health Organization (WHO)
Executive Board resolution recommending that the 57th World Health
Assembly in May 2004 endorse a Global Strategy on Diet, Physical
Activity and Health. However, public interest NGOs also raised
concerns about ongoing attempts by the food industry to undermine the
Global Strategy, and about broader questions of conflicts of interest
within the world's foremost health body. Such concerns are also
emerging in the Executive Board's debate on a new WHO policy for
relations with NGOs.

The rest are in those places facetiously called the funny farms. You

Are you saying that all of these NGOs are all run by mental defectives
or by people who believe in alien abductions. Your one silly little
smart-a.s comment seems to discount the opinions of some very
qualified people from around the world. Is this what you intended your
one smart-a.s comment to do? Or are you just a complete idiot?

Well, TC, I see that the quality of your comments have increased
lately?

Did that bug finally pop out of your Arse?

Just my opinion. But, I am *right* as usual!

Glad to see that you are following my postings so closely. Keep it up,
you might learn something. That is if you are able to learn something,
you know, with that mental defect and all.
