Milk in schools

[JimO]

yea lets leave it in the sun like we used to in the 60s, good on frontera but who pays for the commercial chillers in every school

[Virago]

Right. Okay...

[slofox]

...who pays for the commercial chillers in every school

We thought we'd send the bill to you JimO...:whistle:

[Maha]

....or, have milk biscuits like we did in the late 60's...chalky/hard milk biscuits :niceone:

[The Lone Rider]

On a serious note...

I say about fuckin time the schools had free milk to give the kids again.


Back in the states the public schools (or the ones I was at) all had milk available. Some kids got it for free, some kids could buy it real cheap ($0.50 or something).

[Hitcher]

I'm waiting for the first howls of anguish from parents who want llama milk or non-astringent persimmon juice provided as an alternative for all of the wee dears who are lactose intolerant, GE free, allergic to Friesians, vegan, organic, or all of the above.

I also imagine that the costs of delivery to schools like Marco haven't been fully worked out yet either.

I would assume they'd use ultra pasteurized overly processed milk so they don't need commercial fridges

thats where the school needs to teach the parents a couple of words they are well past needing to hear... "Fuck Off" :sunny:

We had simpler tastes back then. But if the clapped out old trucks and basic roading from 1937 to 1967 managed to deliver milk to every school, then it is a sad state of affairs if today's modern fleet and transport/roading infrastructure can't cope.

What annoys me is the social discrimination that only low decile schools up North might get it. I loved that morning tea break to slurp down some milk with the other Kids. Didn't matter what your parents did, what colour you were. You went to school - you got a drink.

[JimO]

dont know about you lot but my kids get enough milk at home

[unstuck]

fuck it, every school should just buy a couple of cows and teach the kids how to milk them, and the playing fields could get chewed out and fertilised saving some money. Then when the cow gets old enough just turn them into hamburgers and feed the little shits too.:bleh: Kids should be getting all of their nourishment at home, some people just need to stop spending their $$ on fags and booze and weed and start looking after their fucking kids.

I heard it's only going to low decile schools (initially).

[Hitcher]

One doubts that Marco is particularly high decile.

[SMOKEU]

I've got some free milk for hot lil jailbaits, all they need to do is put a blind fold on and suck it out of a hose.

Who pays the sawdust fairy to clean the little pools of shame

[kiwifruit]

It's not a bad idea but the milk they'll be drinking won't do them any good. Too processed / acidic.

[nodrog]

Next they will announce that they are going to start offering an education at schools again.

Hell no :nono:. They have learnt that if the people can think they are harder to control.

Any thing with "free" attached to it simply means "someone else is paying for it"! :rolleyes: (usually someone who doesn't know it!) :shifty:

[Fast Eddie]

the free milk they give will have an additive which is highly addictive, within a few short weeks the children will crave the milk. The free supply will cease and will begin to charge for it. money money mooooneeey, moooonaaay

[oneofsix]

yep you and the rest of us are and have been for awhile now, which is also part of the reason the kids don't get it at home, cheaper to buy fizzy and the kids like it more making parents life easier. If you look at why they are doing it it is a PR stunt because of the bad press they are getting over the price of milk in NZ.

Its Fonterra we're talking about, so yeah, thats exactly what will happen.

Does no one see this as part of a charm offensive by Fonterra to convince us all they're reasonable corporate citizens, so it deflects attention from the Commerce Commission findings and everyone's knowledge they're being raped every time they go to the super for a couple of litres of milk?

bah humbug.

[mashman]

perhaps Fonterra will be able to "deduct" their charitable donation to the schools.

If your refering to Marco in the 'naki it's decile 8.....

Probably be better off giving the wee ones a couple of vitamin pills.

I was given 2 ltrs of un-pasteurised milk recently & to be honest the only thing it has in common with super market stuff is colour. You could almost chew it. Mmmmmmmmmm, lubbly.

[ellipsis]

...the colour is not that close either...

[Oscar]

I'm not sure what you meant by the inverted commas, but Fonterra would be able to deduct this as a business expense. Probably as a promotional activity (as that's exactly what it is), as I don't think giving stuff to schools would be classified as a chartible donation.

Fair enough... but if they're just giving stuff to schools, it sounds more like charity than promotion.

Mmmmm, bodily secretion straight from the bovine.

[puddytat]

The cynic in me sees' this as a charitable promotion to fluff up their image in an attempt to divert attention from the downstream side of the industry.

They've got the best lawyers, the best accountants and the best lobbyists. Damn straight this is tax deductible

Now that "would" be a novel idea! :mellow:

[Flip]

Fark me milk in schools takes me back.

Given so much is NZ is not white, anglo saxon and protestant, just immagine the play ground after morning play time.

I'm a farmer so will be biased and i will stick up for my area of work.

We are dammed if we do and dammed if we dont.
everyone moans about the price of milk,
they moan saying its made here so why dont they get it cheaper.

it is good business that if i get paid more overseas for it why the hell should i discount it to people here just because it is made here.
I bet alot of the moaning fuks either do one of the following : drink piss, smoke, have sky tv, more than one car, buy labelled clothing, dont have a job,

Fonterra has decided to give the milk and the other shit that goes with it. yet so many people moan.
I dont want them giving product away to alot of kids, As far as i am concerned thats the parents and to a lesser extent the governments job.

Instead of alot of the people moaning about the price, they should get off their arse and go approach a farmer and buy milk direct off them.
I know a few who do this ,Instead of moaning about it ( which we are a nation thats fukn good at)

Or another one i hear alot of is, farmers are rich or man they are creaming it off us townies.
well if it is so good ,go try farming for a season,
you never know you may enjoy it, perks of meat , milk, house , on most places.
but it is easier to moan about it.

or another is dirty dairying, what about all the human shit pumped into water courses, tell your councils you dont want that so they should raise your rates to accomadate that extra work involved.
nah fuk that eh it might cost more and you already over paying for dairy products.

Thats my rant as some of the information is probably wrong but hey most of the comments i hear from people about farming are fukn ill informed most of the time but it does not stop them wanking on about it as i have above.

Sure Fonterra will be using this as a marketing ploy as they want to encourage the use of dairy so the younger people will want dairy products thus helping sales.
But why not ?
Alot of businesses do it,
eg, Transpower, maccas, shell,
and at the end of the day it is the kids that will also benefit and i hope will benefit my business as it is the farmers that are investing the money into it.

You forgot to mention all the cowshit on the roads dude, or the milk tankers fucking our roads.:yes:

Ummmmm have you ever been to Auckland or Wellington? 1.5 million people in Auck alone, how many farms are nearby that people with limited budgets can rock up to and purchase milk directly?

[soundbeltfarm]

one i know of are all group buying it, and they are in Auckland
and they get a weeks worth , they have to travel up out of Auckland one time every 7 weeks to get the bulk amount of milk for the group.

i agree with the cow shit on the road , that fuks me off too, and is totally the farmers fault.
as for the trucks wrecking the roads, they pay their road users the same as every other vehicle. So aim that point at government

[puddytat]

SBF...totally agree about the councils being lacksadasicall about thier own shit while pointing fingers at the farmers......

[Flip]

Dairy is the only reason NZ has not gone bankrupt recently.

It doesent need goverment handouts, Fontera is a farmer owner cooperative, so cant be brought out by some big overseas company, and the fuckers in the beehive can't sell it to the Chineese. Dairy is employing a heap of people, all new jobs. Dairy employ 600% more farm workers than traditional dry land farming just on the farms.

So theres some shit in the rivers, animals have been shitting for forty millions of years.
