The poem itself and the flow of words is very good. Only thing is I find it a bit priggish. Apart from, that very good poem.

Loved it. More people should read this than alot of junk food executives would be comfortable with. Sweet profits now, sour caskets later. Good deal all around.

anything can be taken to extremes...thanks for commenting

rondo, an excellent write with an super strong message delivered with your usual no-nonsense approach. You have nailed it - and just as so many are eating badly, constantly snacking on empty calories and the killer sugar - it's adding yet another nail to their coffins.

An absolutely wonderful social write my buddy...nothing priggish about bringing piggish to those who WILL NOT see!!!......"Obesity is generally viewed as a failure of personal resolve, with no acknowledgement of the genuine conspiracy in this historical scheme. People actually did sit in strategy meetings discussing ways to get all those surplus calories into people who neither needed nor wished to consume them.Whether or not they understand the biology, food marketers know the weakness and have exploited it without mercy. Children have been targeted especially; food companies spend over $10 billion a year selling food brands to kids, and it isn't broccoli they're pushing. Overweight children are a demographic in many ways similar to minors addicted to cigarettes, with one notable exception: their parents are usually their suppliers. We all subsidize the cheap calories with our tax dollars, the strategists make fortunes, and the overweight consumers get blamed for the violation. The perfect crime.”

no one is forcing the morsels down their throats ...if not this excess it would be another we have to be individually responsible and willing to work off that we do ingest but it isnt helpful they work so hard to persuade...thankyou for your insight Liddy i'm sitting here watching "the way of Life" and getting glimpses of your beautiful homeland beteween the story xoxoxo

I'm curious as to how you managed to view This Way of Life but I'm very pleased you did. What it basically highlights is the love our people have for their cultural roots which are deeply embedded in the land. In the 60's and 70's there was a huge urban drift to look for work and a couple of generations were born in the cities but the land that connects them is in their blood and many have now gone home and live in anything they can just to be on their land which use to be ALL of NZ...now there are just a few acres here and there but it is still in Maori ownership. I hope you enjoyed the story as well as the scenery..xoxoxo

Ohh yes sweet people full of love and my love of equine and nature is every bit as strong a tie ...their religious ferver a constant reminder of my youth only I was never as articulate then.....it is the increase in population that causes this disconnect as hunters need square miles to sustain for your intire populace to live naturally you would need a much bigger country...sad but true the fade of agrierian/pioneering lifexoxoxo
