Consumer NZ seems so middleclass. Oh dear our bad food and WHO says it kills 1.8 million people a year. How many people die of starvation or violence? How old are those deaths from bad food?
I had a dairy once, open 7 days a week run by our family partnership . Consumer NZ was running corner dairies down because they were dearer in prices than supermarkets. While a truth, there was a feeling of blame, dairies’ scalping, rather than explaining the economics of volume.
Food being over processed, too much sugar, salt, etc. Pies have had a bad press! The little fund-raising kiosk at the local hospital had to shut because it wasn’t promoting health. Been there for decades staffed by volunteers and helping with funds for the extras up there.
We are supposed to want to live longer. At whose expense? Why – so we can idle around waiting to die, or to find ways to satisfy our personal whims. What about dying on the job and that job being helping the younger people who are being robbed of the life they may have had if we had an idea of how to get a nice life all together? All that eddication and still we incontinently pour out foolish notions and spoilt, thoughtless ideas. What about euthanasia and deciding when we would like to go after going through a process required, and then swanning out in our own style. Maybe surrounded by flowers, or laid out on a boatdeck with the sun and breeze on the gathering, singing favorite songs – instead of this miserable fight with chemicals rampant, and hospital costs up.
So many things are dragging us down to wasted life, which we can’t change. While fevered one-track minds whip the ground from under our feet, pollute the sky and space over our heads. But we can’t be in charge of our own bodies because it is illegal. We will be killed off on our own planet by microbes – the opposite of the theme of War of the Worlds by that lover of humanity HG Wells. FYI Google says 86% of respondents liked the book – so it must be OK then.
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is about a fictional invasion of Southern England by Martians. The military is powerless against the Martians’ superior weapons, and many people die. The Martians are eventually killed by bacterial infection.

About The War of the Worlds
The seminal masterpiece of alien invasion, The War of the Worlds (1898) conjures a terrifying, tentacled race of Martians who devastate the Earth and feed on their human victims while their voracious vegetation, the red weed, spreads over the ruined planet.

Think that The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham is similar – everyone should read it as it is a guidebook of how we will survive the end of our present era. By thinking, being aware, helping other people with spirit, practicality and kindness. And you try to be as kind as possible, but you can’t help everybody who don’t use their own brains and talents to find their own way to a group with social values. (John Wyndham had a difficult time in his childhood and his books echo his experience of making his way in a fraught world, his big sellers were written after his WW2 service.)
Is this reasonable?

The Park could not have foreseen the outcomes of this fire on its chairs. The people who live on this hill with an attraction nearby could expect some sort of heightened risk. We won’t be able to get attractions built if people are able to make overlarge claims for an unforeseen risk. Some would have to be shared especially with the town planning systems easing to allow building in once-proscribed places. If already in place, a buyer must accept the usage.
