Poll: Fake vs the real deal

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey neighbours,
Our non-meat-eating readers can rejoice, Air New Zealand is now offering the meat-free Impossible Burger to its business class flights from LA to Auckland.

But what does this mean for New Zealand farmers who contribute to New Zealand's main industry?

Some kiwis think the airline should be promoting our homegrown lamb and beef instead.

In a tweet, National MP Nathan Guy wrote, "Disappointing to see Air NZ promoting a GE substitute meat burger on its flights to the USA. We produce the most delicious steaks & lamb on the planet - GMO & hormone free. The national carrier should be pushing our premium products and helping sell NZ to the world."

While others think that eating the Impossible Burger will make people realise how delicious New Zealand beef and lamb is.

What do you think?
Have you tried the Impossible Burger, and if so how does it compare to the real deal?

Please put NFP if you don't want your comment printed.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
