Diplomacy in Expo

“Russia and Italy are linked by very close ties.

For over 500 years Italy has been an important

partner of Russia, which is another reason why

our country was one of the first to accept Italy's

application to organize Expo Milano 2015”

Vladimir Putin, EXPO National Day of Russia,

10th June 2015

“Ripatriations should be a task of Europe: we

cannot leave Italy alone”

Michelle Obama engaged a war

against fat foods and junk food,

trying to convince the youngest

part of United States population

that sport and open air activities

help finding a solution to the

obesity problems, saving lives

In the mid1970s, the average sugarsweetened beverage

was 13.6 ounces. Today, kids think nothing of drinking

20 ounces of sugarsweetened beverages at a time.

U.S. citizens are now eating 31 percent more calories

than they were forty years ago, including 56 percent

more fats and oils and 14 percent more sugars and

sweeteners.

The average American now eats fifteen more pounds of

sugar a year than in 1970.

our immaterial Tour Eiffel”
