         Credit cards can make you fat

Today, credit cards make those unhealthful
eating habits easier than ever to adopt --
and that can help you pack on the pounds.

In years past, fast-food restaurants
accepted only cash, largely because credit
card transactions took too long to process,
impinging on the concept of "fast" food.
Consumers who didn't have enough cash
on them would bypass the local fast-food
joint and head on home, where the dining
choices were bound to be somewhat
healthier.

The world’s biggest retailers have agreed
to adopt a common standard for ensuring
suppliers follow fair trade practices.

At the annual CIES World Food Business
Summit in Shanghai, chairman Roger
Corbett, ex Woolworths Australia CEO, said
member retailers had unanimously agreed
to the drafting of a Global Social
Compliance Program.

“We retailers and consumer brands are
increasingly sourcing from emerging
markets – China being the largest in the
world,” Corbett told the record 840
delegates at this year’s summit.
