In this CNN.com opinion piece, CNN Contributor John Avlon writes: "All of this is something close to a worse-case scenario for Republicans. Romney can't deliver a knockout punch, but Santorum, Gingrich and Paul can deny him the nomination even if they can't win it themselves." Agree or disagree with Avlon? Why?

Questo per ridere: http://www.giornalettismo.com/archives/206381/litalia-non-e-alla-fame-ci-sono-tanti-obesi/ e poi, uno studio aveva dimostrato (o indicato) come l'obesità fosse maggiormente diffusa nelle fasce povere (mancanza di cura, mancanza di risorse per accedere a servizi di wellness ecc...ecc...) anche volendo dire che in italia gli obesi sono 6 milioni (cifra che mi pare decisamente spropositata) quindi che il cibo non manca, mi sembra davvero una considerazione stupida.
