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?

As a result of our story on Stuff, social media posts and in this week's Clutha Leader, Clutha District RSA has found details for the remaining four WWII soldiers for an Anzac Day project. RSA secretary/treasurer Pauline Soper had a number of people contact her, and is absolutely thrilled to be able to complete the 35-soldier project, whose names and info will go on crosses beside the Balclutha cenotaph. Great work NZ.
Looking forward to the Clutha Valley Flower Show's 45th "Sapphire" celebration from 3pm Friday at the CV community hall.
