The glorious lies our baby infant formula industry has trapped itself into thanks to ACTs Boss Hog

Oh Jesus Christ I love this story so much!

Government considers u-turn on baby formula rules after industry shift

Ok. Here’s the background.

NZ makes basic bitch milk powder with zero added value because all milk powder is basic bitch level nothingness.

NZ has tried to create brands to provide extra value to our Dairy, but the real money is in basic bitch milk powder so much so, that Fonterra is dumping all their Dairy Brands just to focus on basic bitch milk powder because that’s where all that ‘we feed 50 million’ bullshit goes to, the heavily manufactured food industry where our basic bitch milk powder is used as a base line ingredient.

SO.

One way NZ has tried to generate extra revenue is our bullshit infant milk formula that is sold as magical milk.

This marketing is emotionally manipulative bullshit because all milk powder is good for infants, what we have tried to do is make magical milk, sell it as magical milk while knowing new parents will pay any price for magical milk.

Selling our basic bitch milk powder as magical milk for infants is a despicable manipulation of new parents, but we don’t give a fuck because all NZ has now is basic bitch milk powder that is mutton dressed up as lamb.

So far, so good, but then as the story link at the top explains, NZ magic milk liars have heavily lobbied the thick ACT Party Framer thug to pull NZ’s magical milk for infants OUT of the Australia/NZ Formula rules on how you can market basic bitch milk powder as magical milk…

The government is considering signing up to Trans-Tasman rules on baby formula – after rejecting them amid industry lobbying.

This potential policy shift follows a change of heart from formula companies, including major players Danone and The a2 Milk Company, who had previously campaigned against the standards.

These companies now support opting in to the regulations and have dropped all opposition to restricting specialist formulas to pharmacies – one of the major sticking points during the standards’ drafting.

The proposed standards, developed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand over more than a decade, aim to update 20-year-old regulations and tighten rules on misleading product claims.

New Zealand initially opted out, citing concerns over potential harm to its $2 billion annual infant formula exports.

…but here’s the joke.

The magical milk liars who lobbied the ACT Party Farmer Thug have realised at the very last moment that by lobbying to get their bullshit magical milk for babies out of the formula rules means they won’t be able to sell the milk in Australia!!!

An RNZ investigation revealed extensive lobbying by a handful of formula companies, who argued the changes would negatively impact their exports and profits, and would threaten their continued presence in New Zealand.

The companies, led by Danone and a2, bombarded senior ministers with emails, letters, surveys and even legal advice, as well as having at least six meetings with Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard in the six months leading up to the decision late last year.

Alongside the proposal to restrict “medical” formula sales to pharmacies, the companies also disagreed with changes that would have prevented them from being able to list ingredients or milk protein fractions on the front labels of formula tins.

Following New Zealand’s decision to opt out of the joint standards, the government announced it would look at creating its own standards.

But the Ministry for Primary Industries is now looking at how it can join back in and negotiate an exemption with Australia on the labelling restrictions that formula companies opposed, RNZ understands.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

THESE FUCKING SCUM BAGS SELLING BASIC BITCH MILK POWDER AS MAGICAL MILK WHO HAVE LOBBIED THEIR ACT PARTY FARMER THUG HAVE INADVERTENTLY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT!

Australian academic Julie Smith, who researches the lobbying activities of infant formula companies, said Danone and a2 Milk dominated the specialised medical formulas market in New Zealand, but had probably realised they would be able to sell their products through online pharmacies instead.

She also questioned the likelihood of New Zealand getting a modification to the labelling standards if it were to opt back in.

“If it’s evidence-based, then zero chance, because it’s been well established that this promotion of products is effective in marketing formulas and affecting parents’ decisions.

“But if it comes down to industry power over officials and ministers, then I’d say the chances are very good,” the Australian National University professor said.

“It’s a problem for our democracy when our health policies and what’s going into our babies mouths is not determined by evidence about what’s good for them, it’s determined by marketing.

“People will be shocked if they realise just how much of what we eat is determined by that sort of lobbying.”

Oh fuck this is beautiful, look at the thick Farmer Thug look on Boss Hogs face…

…this could not have happened to a more venal bunch of arseholes!

Hahahaha.

I can’t stop laughing!
