I suppose nicotine and tar also can be argued for but the bigger picture is not always clear to the viewer.

Habit is used to be called. Insidious harm lurks for many.

Why use dairy. Calcium is the usual excuse but really that has little merit.

Comment on “…Avocado oil linked to anti-ageing…” by John W

Contrary to this announcement, much quoted research shows that vegetable oils [ being extracts and not ingested in close association with other parts of the plant matter ] all inhibit important action of the blood vessels to maintain health.
For healthy individuals [ usually young if on a Western diet ] some advocada is OK but delinitely not for most aging western diet omnivores who will have accumulated blood vessel damage.
Advocado is particularly bad ifor them and its oil extract should be avoided.

Jim would be in his element sorting out the underlying profiteers from the Christchurch event.

At least when he sees where things are gong he speak out. Not just another media clown.

Comment on “…Hundreds of Australian jobs have been shifted to New Zealand as producers there try to avoid the impact of high wages, a soaring dollar and restrictive labour laws…” by John W

Heinz Australia is not moving the 300 jobs anywhere.

They are using new automated plant in NZ requiring a much smaller attending workforce. This is a part of a pattern world wide where automation requires less man hours for production of goods cutting personal income for worker/consumers and driving down spending power in exchange for greater short term profit of a few.

This is not sustainable unless hours for workers are reduced for the same overall pay which is what need to happen to expand employment.
The money wasted in long distance transportation of raw materials and manufactured goods, as well as the consumption of toxic fossil fuels, is a cost to future generations for the short term profit now made by those industry investors whose actions carry no responsibility when mortgaging our children’s future.

We are at 394 ppm CO2 with methane hydrates streaming from Artic seabeds signaling the beginnings of climate runaway that mankind will be powerless to stop.

If you’re reading this in Aotearoa New Zealand, get the local info on setting up a cooperative at http://www.nz.coop/start-a-coop/ – different legal systems overseas makes following the UK way not so simple.

(ed:..)..so..do you see ‘nothing to see here’..?

both america and australia have closed this company out for ‘security-reasons’..

..and we are saying ‘come on in..!’

..key can also answer questions without revealing security-secrets..

..he seems to be just using that as an excuse for a blanket-refusal to answer any questions at all..

..that is bullshit..

..and there are questions that need to be answered..

First up I would ignore any rant of Peters – the singularly most dishonest, self serving MP along with Trevor Mallard.

Secondly, the PM is totally justified to not enter any discussion regarding matters concerning our intelligence network or the details of their findings.

What Peters fails to realise in his pompous, hypocritical grandstanding, is the real damage this causes if the PM reveals anything. Even the smallest detail. The ripple effect in the intelligence game is profound and whether we like what they do or not, the good outweighs the bad.
