@Magnifico: Thanks for the references - I have no problem believing that the issue is complex.

For a nauseating impact of what seems to be going on with fast-food hamburger patties, watch the film Fast Food Nation - it's fiction, but not science fiction or fantasy. I'm not proposing it as a detailed argument, only as a picture of how/why it's worth paying attention to agribusiness, the power of corporations, international exploitation and mistreatment of international workers, and of what you may be doing by frequenting fast food outlets. Good actors, good story and good direction. Watch it & barf.

A1234: Yes. So the globalized economy must be controlled by national governments (e.g., more tariffs, etc.), right? But then what makes a national government powerful - could it have something to do with the profits from, e.g., international agribusiness with national bases?
tiger, I think we're all getting bit on the ass.

@tiger: I agree - your comment points towards an obvious long-term goal concerning regulation/enforcement concerning global problems, doesn't it? Wouldn't this involve an economic strengthening of the governments of such countries to deal with the problem? But if the global capitalist economy is really global, wouldn't such an attempt simply increase illegal global capitalist efforts to circumvent such regulations? If so, what does this imply about global capitalism and nationalist politics? Which is the dog and which is the tail, and who does the dog bite?
No, it's not off the OP.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
