So why are they planning shortly to put toxic sodium fluoride in all NZ water supplies. If you really want to know more then go listen to Prof. Paul Connett who will be talking in the Cafler Suite, Forum North, tonight at 5.30pm Mon 12th feb. The Dr on DHB admits it will be enormously expensive but they have to follow Govt. guidelines. 97% of European countries have thrown fluoride out as it does not help but causes enormous health problems. Scotland whose children teeth were far worse than ours followed Denmark (according to WHO have lowest rate caries in the world) at have totally turned this around with millions in savings on dental costs. Now Wales is following suit, Thailand and Japan. Our Nat. MP shows a shocking lack of knowledge on this subject as do other MP's I have spoken to and Drs.
Prof. Paul Connett is one of the worlds leading authorities on sodium fluoride. Do look up Childsmile see for yourself.

Neighbourly poll shows changing attitudes to eating meat across NZ

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.

>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?
