Abu Dhabi supermarket junk food crackdown

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

Abu Dhabi is ordering supermarkets - both online and in-store - to stop putting junk food in the spotlight. We ask whether it will make healthier choices easier and hear from Kibsons and Choithrams. Plus, cyberespionage is on the rise across the Middle East, putting businesses, governments and smartphones at risk. As UAE temperatures push towards 50°C and a “heat dome” sends temperatures soaring elsewhere, we ask the World Meteorological Organisation what’s behind the extremes. We also hear how the Al Freej Fridge campaign is helping outdoor workers cope with the summer heat, and ask whether lab-grown palm oil could offer a more sustainable alternative. As temperatures soar, men in Japan are being encouraged to wear shorts to work. So could this this be the future of male fashion? Scientists have discovered a sugar found in raspberries floating through deep space - so could it help explain how life on Earth began?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
