Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

I have been recommending the following combination as a morning drink for people with inflammation and joint issues, and have been getting some excellent feedback.
Recipe: 1 tsp Bone Marrow Broth Concentrate
1 tblsp Collagen Hydrolysate (for extra collagen)
1/2 tsp Jing Tonic Blend
1 cup of boiling water
Bone broth contains collagen, vitamins, minerals and conjugated linoleic acid (Omega 6). Collagen provides protein, reduces inflammation, supports joints, bones, digestive health/gut lining repair, and skin and hair.
Jing Tonic Blend contains Cordyceps medicinal mushroom blended with herbs. It helps to restore hormone function, counter exhaustion, increase power and stamina, heal and replenish joints ligaments and tendons, and strengthens knees hips and lower back.
This is a potent blend, and an enjoyable drink. People are feeling improvements to their overall health, and really look forward to their morning drink. It makes a pleasant change from swallowing a lot of supplements.
