Even if fresh foods cost more, its worth it. Its going to cost you one way or another, either your health or money. Either way you pay. Its best to pay on the front end, buying nutritious foods. And those backend healthcare costs may only get bigger. In children, obesity rates are about 4 times higher than they were 40 years ago. Poor circulation 3.

Do you know the names or pages of any feminist or woman-centered Twitterers in Tunisia you could recommend?

Otherwise, they are absolutely excluded from the entire society.”<br />Misbah said he intended to tackle the issue of racial discrimination in his autobiography which he will call “No brother, no friend… not as Arabs, not as Muslims.”<br />Misbah, who was once sentenced to jail for assaulting an officer in the Tunisian army, said he is constantly harassed for his skin color and extremely improper racial slurs are hurled at him, the most common of which is calling him “a dirty slave.”<br />“Racial discrimination does not stop at street harassment, but also extends to the entertainment industry in Tunisia.”<br />Misbah recounted a story when he held a part at his house to celebrate the release of his second album and one of the journalists recommended that he changes his skin color like Michael Jackson.<br />“He said that this is how I can guarantee having fans in the Arab world.”Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504879269502854130.post-72306884241756997042011-01-18T04:34:17.911+00:002011-01-18T04:34:17.911+00:00Hey

...Hey <br />Thanks for commenting! Hope you're well.<br />Just to be clear Tunisia is not an Islamist country, it's not even a Muslim country. It's a North African Arab nation and there is a tendency to conflate Islam/Muslims with Arabs.<br /><br />I think you may be right that the society is an enabler but I think the media have a responsibility to give fair representation to the situation on the ground. The pictures show women are part of this, and in my post I talk about women getting raped and several others. How come these stories aren't being widely reported? The one story of Neda Soltani became the image for Iran's Green Movement, so how can so many different stories of so many women go untold?<br /><br />To some extent, I think the media is enabling their silencing by not telling their stories.KonWomynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244078092450908161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504879269502854130.post-25293049762632067342011-01-18T04:18:19.149+00:002011-01-18T04:18:19.149+00:00Good question.

My answer's probably quite simplistic but I think the lack of coverage of what women are doing in Tunisia is more about women's status in Islam than about the male- centric media. The answer seems quite straight- forward and obvious to me. If the media isn't fully covering women's activism it's because the society enables that approach, I've watched programmes where women say they have been forbidden to speak on TV by their husbands. Ever watched PressTV- the Iranian govt sponsored news station? There's gross under- representation of women.ooeygooeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345803240388571214noreply@blogger.com
