Mexico: First-ever presidential debate organized by citizens makes history
An empty chair for Enrique Peña Nieto at Tuesday night’s debate, hosted by student movement #YoSoy132.
By MANUEL RUEDA
In previous Mexican debates, candidates were asked questions agreed upon by their campaign teams. Last night, citizens got to ask their own questions for the first time, thanks to the efforts of the student movement #YoSoy132.
Let’s just make it easier for people to fatten up and reap the benefits of their obesity through diabetes and other horrible diseases that could be otherwise avoided by getting back into the kitchen and making whole foods.
The idea is genius.. who knows what it really tastes like. It would be handy for the once in a while pizza craving. But lets be honest, those aren’t the people that would be frequenting these kiosks.
Get Ready for Pizza Vending Machines, America
There are several points of concern in this promotional video for the “Let’s Pizza” vending machine, marketed by a European company that’s opening up an office near Atlanta within the year, according to PizzaMarketplace.com.
Let’s set aside for now the video’s assertion that this automatic snack constitutes “genuine Italian pizza.” What I want to know is, why is this company betting on the strategy that robot-made food is somehow better than human food? The advertisement stresses that the pizza is “untouched by human hands” and made in “a human-free environment.” Don’t people like a little human touch, not to mention all-important quality control? Have we become a society of germophobes that can’t stand the thought of chefs putting their fingers in our foodstuffs?
