Could start a special doughnut tax. Cigs in UK cost ten dollars a packet. Perhaps a 1 dollar doughnut tax? Also a hamburger tax would be good - plus import duties on ingredients.
Doughnuts have up to 20 g. of fat. It is surprising that the government gives licenses.

A 38-year-old former Army doctor who served in Iraq, Newsom returned home to Panama City a few years ago to run the Bay County Health Department and launched a one-man war on obesity by posting sardonic warnings on an electronic sign outside:
"Sweet Tea = Liquid Sugar."
"Hamburger = Spare Tire."
"French Fries = Thunder Thighs."
He also called out KFC by name to make people think twice about fried chicken.
Then he parodied "America Runs on Dunkin.' " the doughnut chain's slogan, with: "America Dies on Dunkin.' "

Take a good look a Dominican women next time you go to the beach, because hereafter they will be afflicted with the "Macktrucksy" syndrome.
I think Krispy Kreme donuts totally suck and they are devoid of any nutritional value. I've seen normal size men eat a whole box at a sitting and still feel hungry.
The local franchise here in my neck of the woods shut down because we don't like eating crap.
I agree with Xwill above, it will be a good time to be a heart surgeon in DR. I would add that diabetes would also be rampant.
We should all get ready for an abundance of size 20+ women!
On positive note, this will probably slow down population growth.

Why on earth would any body eat that crap anyways?? why are all these people so facinated with eating garbage and then complaint about health problems. I tell my patients every day that if they eat crap like that and any other fast food, then they just have to deal with feeling like crap. People need to take responsability for getting all kinds of diseases from the food they eat.

Yes, good to stop outlets selling to under 18's. Healthy food could be offered instead. Krispy Kreme could have a no under 18 policy. Also a health warning like on cigarettes. Will dominican krispy kreme have trans fats?
These things are full of colour and preservative anyhow. It's amazing how greedy US corporations offload their rotten products on developing countries when they hit problems at home.
It is so good that franchisees in other coutries are facing bankruptcy - serves them right. I'm sure everyone on the forum hopes this happens to the DR outfit. Why they need to pay royalites to the US is beyond me. If you really must have a doughnut Dominican Doughnuts are not that bad in small portions with some fruit - mango, banana etc.

People like blutar go bankrupt in droves. 1.5 million in 2008 possible 4 million in 2009.
http://www.simonvolkov.com/going-bankrupt.htmlThe American Bankruptcy Institute states," In 2007, Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings increased by 63-percent, while Chapter 13 filings rose by 70-percent." Experts predict more than 1.5 million Americans will file for bankruptcy protection by the end of 2008. The number of Americans going bankrupt could more than triple in 2009.
