Is Mr Turner not much travelled? Even in countries such as Germany people seem healthier and thinner than they do in the good old US of A. And as for the implied health problems of Cuba today which the author of the article would have contrasting with the situation prevailing in the mid 90's, what evidence has he gathered? Most cuban's are lean into old age and to say the truth while I was over there recently I spent days without seeing anything that approached stoutness, unless it was that of the other tourists. As for propaganda it can be said that America was once in a better position to export its gamut of democratic ideals when those who embodied them (we the people) were less digustingly cattle sized.
