“…The critical vulnerability that Bin Laden has chosen is our public will as outlined in his 1996 "Declaration of Jihad" in which he stated, "…your most disgraceful case was in Somalia…When tens of your soldiers were killed in minor battles and one American pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu, you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you…the extent of your impotence and weakness became very clear." 14 Bin Laden has rarely taken on U.S. combat forces in large scale pitched battles, preferring to utilize suicide bombers, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDS), and Vehicle…”

Nutritional information allows customers to make an informed choice regarding food consumption, which may be related to higher satisfaction and product ratings. Researchers designed this study to evaluate the impact of choice and nutritional information on young adults' selection and ratings of a soy‐based snack versus an identical snack prepared using a traditional recipe. Specific objectives were to compare selection, quality ratings, and intention to purchase ratings with and without choice and information on nutrients per serving associated with both products. Two hundred college students were presented with an opportunity to select and evaluate two different formulations of the same snack. The products were identical in appearance, but the soy‐based snack had nutrient content lower in calories and fat and higher in protein, calcium, and fiber. Participants rated the sensory characteristics of their product of choice on a 7‐pt Likert‐type scale. They also noted whether they were willing to buy the snack in the future. Analysis of variance was used for data analysis. When no choice of snack or nutritional information was made available, students rated both snacks equally. When a choice but no information was supplied, except that one product was made with soy, the traditional snack was chosen more often. When choice and nutritional information was supplied, the food quality ratings and intention to purchase ratings of both snacks increased, and the soy‐based snack was chosen over the traditional product at a significantly higher rate. Differential effects by gender were noted. Nutritional information as informed choice was positively related to customer satisfaction and made a difference in food selection. Implications for foodservice operations focus on point of sale signage that would allow customers, particularly young adults, the information by which to choose food items to meet their personal nutritional goals. This would be particularly pertinent in university food service and high school cafeteria settings serving children and young adults.

Why the voting age should be lowered to 16

This article examines whether the voting age should be lowered to 16. The dominant view in the literature is that 16-year-olds in the United Kingdom are not politically mature enough to vote since they lack political knowledge, political interest and stable political preferences (Chan and Clayton, 2006). I reject this conclusion and instead argue that the voting age should be lowered to 16. First, I look at Chan and Clayton's empirical claims and show that these features of 16-and 17-year-olds are in fact created by exclusionary social practices and therefore that these features cannot be used to justify their exclusion from the vote. Second, I evaluate preliminary evidence from Austria which suggests that 16-and 17-year-olds, when actually given the vote, are politically mature. Third, I show that, on a balance of harms, considering that some 16-and 17-year-olds are mature, we still should lower the voting age even if some 16-and 17-year-olds are not politically mature. I conclude that the voting age should be lowered to (at least) 16.
