China's love for big cars leads to U.S. - type remedies

"Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is evidence of insidious media cynicism, an entrenched belief that Americans will not read or understand a story unless it has star quality and celebrity in it. Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is also evidence of media that is either out of touch or under the control of the corporate establishment. In the end, public opinion will have missed the point and will not matter."

Plus - not all microbial stews which digest food are the same. It isn't just the human genome - or diet - which is variable.)
