Thread Name: BS: Settling in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Settling in Guam
Brett, a reporter from Public Radio International was there in Guam reporting on her visit from Minnesota during the winter and what Guam and MN have in common....Spam - the dubious canned meat from Hormel in MN! Did you know that Guam eats more Spam per capita than anywhere else in the world?! Sixteen cans per person per year, I think it was. She even interviewed some young Chamorro girls about it and noted the gov. is stressing more exercise as obesity is becoming a problem. Also, Hormel has offered a low-salt Spam now. The ads for exercise were sponsored by...McDonalds!LOL! Anyway, it was fun to hear, plus it led to a neat site with recipes and other Guam info at Guampedia.

I don't know if they will put up the audio later today or not, but you can read the synopsis HERE.
