Argentina’s and FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi  has been sentenced to 21-month imprisonment for tax fraud. A court in Barcelona  found Messi guilty of three counts of tax fraud, a statement from the court on Wednesday said. The court also sentenced the Argentine soccer player’s father, Jorge, to 21 months in prison for the same three crimes. The sentence can be appealed through the Spanish supreme court, the statement said. Under Spanish laws, a prison sentence under two years can be served under probation, meaning Messi and his father are unlikely to go to jail. The court ordered Messi to pay a fine of around 2 million euros ($2.21 million) and his father to 1.5 million euros for the crimes.

Snail meat is a good source of protein. It is rich in iron and calcium, but low in fat and cholesterol, compared to other animal protein sources such as poultry, pigs, cow and goat. They are environmental-friendly because unlike pigs and poultry, neither the snail nor its droppings smell offensively. Snails can also be reared in the backyard. Snail meat is a delicacy and it is easier to sell. Snail meat is white meat with a difference; it is similar in taste and texture to that of seafood; but unlike seafood, it is characteristically organic. It is therefore quite clearly a preferable table meat from the health point of view and is increasingly recommended by nutritionists, especially for the elderly and people living with chronic diseases that require modified diets. Lately, with greater consumer awareness of the implications of high cholesterol levels in the blood and the possible association with increased incidence of heart attacks, cardiovascular and other chronic disease...
