Europe’s central disappointment

This article was written one month ago on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The writer indicates the speech of Vaclav Havel in 1989, when Europe overthrew the communism. Havel promised the world that his country which is Czechoslovakia will be a compassionate force in the European Union. Furthermore it will bring something new to the continent which he called ‘the art of the impossible. In fact, they were not that kind of force, because they weakened the European Union's progress. In addition, they represent the ideology of a chauvinistic populism.
The soviet-style dictatorship took a toll on the European societies which were qualified and ready to enter the European Union but they couldn’t. Many parties and movements spread through central Europe that affected the popular opinion and may cause some problems. Those movements had a huge negative impact in central Europe because they were not marginal such as in western Europe. Also the impact spread through the whole of Europe because central Europe was the right wing factions in the European parliament.
Finally 20 years after central Europe's failure to be what it wanted or promised to be, because of the impact of the negative movements and parties. Disappointedly some of them are still alive.

Junk food....

Everywhere you go the junk food is available. Junk food manufacturers want to advertise their product; however, the government wants to stop using this food in the schools. Any food with high fat, salt or sugar is called junk food. There are two famous chicken companies KFC and Nando's. Meals of Nando's have more calories and more fats then KFC meals. Pizza is another food that is considered to be junk food. Hot pizza in Pizza Express has more calories, but Domino's has far more. The most famous hamburger seller is Mc Donald's. It has more that 50 thousand branches. Ed's classic hamburger has more calories and fat then a meal in Mc Donald's. The term " junk food" is an "empty" phrase. Some kind of food is considered to be junk food , whereas, the same kind of food is considered to be healthy.
