The government published a report yesterday
saying that we need to eat more healthily-more fruit and
vegetables, less fat and sugar. So, that means fewer
burgers, chips and fried food as well as cutting down on
sweet things. We went into central London yesterday at
lunchtime and asked people what they t houg ht abo ut it.
It's got no thin g t o w ith government what I eat, 'says
Paul keel, a building workers, and Dorothi Mattews, a
teacher, as they ate beefburger and chips washed down with
strawberry milk shake. Tim Kennor, however welcomes the
government's advice. Then, we asked the Simpson's
restaurant's manager about it. I don't think people believe
all these reports anymore. What they say is good for you
in June, they say is bad for you in July. People stopped
taking notice. We serve that we've always served. Almost
all of it is Fattening.

Cameroon is a west African country of ten million people
which has been very successful in growing food for its
people, unlike many other West African countries. Since
1971 it has doubled its output of major foodstuffs such as
maize and potatoes. Now it is one of the few African
countries able to feed itself. This was not the case five
years a go when the country was only 75-80% self-
sufficient in food. Although isolated pockets of hunger
still remain, the World Bank nowadays gives Cameroon
money to sustain, not to achieve, self-sufficiency in food
