:wtf: Donald is placing steel and aluminium tariffs on your loving allies. Did he forget to exempt them sucking China's dick??

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44320221

quote:

The US is to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from the European Union, Mexico and Canada.

The 25% tariffs on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminium will begin within the next day.

The move, revealed by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, will affect several key US allies - and Nato members - in Europe.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire had said the tariffs would be "unjustified and dangerous".

The EU would take "all necessary measures" to respond if the US did impose tariffs, Mr Le Maire warned.

"It's entirely up to US authorities whether they want to enter into a trade conflict with their biggest partner, Europe," he said before the announcement was made.

HFCS is prevalent in everything.

People eating entire buckets of white rice with a small portion of meat and "vegetables are for poor people" can't help.

People really underestimate white rice because they always attribute diabetes to cola, candy, and other things that are very sugary and sweet. I know a guy from Taiwan who has sworn off of white rice altogether because of his diabetes. He was lucky because in Taiwan they say, "poo poo you have diabetes, you'd better change your diet and maybe take insulin" while in the mainland a lot of it goes undiagnosed or even reported. It's just one day grandma stubs her toe, it turns black, and she has to get her foot amputated.

A reminded complex carbohydrates are just sugars chained up that requires more work to break down and metabolize. If you want a bunch that is easily digestible over a long time holy poo poo it's no surprise you get a bunch of people with diabetes.

white rice is literally the worst thing you can eat in terms of the complexity of the carbohydrates, to be entirely clear. its glycemic index is not far removed from actual table sugar that some sick weirdo is shoveling out of a bag and into their gaping maw.

quote:


Exercise isn't traditionally part of Chinese culture, barring some aunties square-dancing in the park and a few tai chi practitioners on the sidelines. But that's changing now, with the hashtag #MajiaXian going viral on Weibo, China's Twitter.

Because the outline of well-toned abdominal muscles looks like a vest, Chinese call abs "majia" -- or "vest" -- and "xian" -- or "lines," and this year they have become the goal of many women's pre-summer workouts.

Related terms such as "MajiaXian VS Fat Tiger," "Follow Victoria Secret Models to have Majia Xian" or "If you don't lose weight in May, only sadness will be left in June" rank high on Weibo's list of trending topics They have been trending since Chinese New Year, when people make resolutions, and will continue to do so through summer until late fall -- when people wear less clothing.


Traditionally, a more willowy physique has been considered to be ideal for Chinese women -- as represented in literature, art, families and education -- and gyms were not a common part of everyday life. But increasing exposure to Western lifestyles has made a desire for a more muscular physique, namely abdominal muscles, trendy.

I'm having flashbacks to the 'China's most famous big butt girl' and she also has no butt. She also tended to have comic book levels of back breaking poses to show off the rump area.

I guess in China that is PAWG levels of rear end. Not enough for me tho.

Pffff, why go for that reminder when you could instead talk about how a reoccuring problem with malnutrition for the upper classes in the east was caused by the rich eating garbage white rice while the poors ate brown rice and got the vitamins and minerals they needed from that
