Yeh... so? Lots of health workers tell other people not to OVER consume shit food all the time, and then go eat SOME shit food themselves.
Is it any different to the government bringing in two candidates who used to be tobacco lobbyists while campaigning against smoking?
Nek minut I'm a hypocrite for riding a motorbike while wanting to decrease pollution![]()
You obviously can't read or understand the script as posted. It refers only to a fat and sugar tax by a potential political party who could eventually legistlate for it. The pic shows a fair size greeny outside KFC. Rather ironic.
It has nothing to do with tobacco or motorbike riding so what the fuck are you rambling on about???
All I see are a lot of ASSumptions.
They're parked on the fucking road, not even in the KFC carpark - Dominion Rd and Balmoral intersection to be precise, near all my favourite Oriental eateries. They don't even have KFC in their hands. Compared to a lot of other middle/late aged ladies in NZ, the woman are "fair sized". They could be large due to a genetic or metabolic disorder, rather than being someone who is hungus as and shovles down KFC.
If you can't understand the meaning of what I wrote before, it would ironically mean you need to look the definition of irony up.![]()
I won't even try and explain it to you any further as you are obviously too thick to comprehend the pic, the quote and the KFC store in the background, all of which was taken from the media today. It is to point out the hypocracy of a party that wants a sugar and fat tax.
The same would apply to National, Labour, Mana or any other party pictured in the same situation.
Now if that doesn't make sense to you then there is no hope for you....
Exactly right. Maurice Williamson at least had the common decency to resign as a cabinet minister. Something that the hypocritical millionaire but socialism espousing leader of the Labour party could think about. His immediate predecessor was actually a genuine and very likeable guy
You don't seem to understand that one can support a TAX on shit foods, and still enjoy eating shit foods....
I know I fucking do.
Here's more Green "irony" for you.... The Greens oppose war, yet one of their candidates is a Major in the NZ Army...

Agreed Steve, except taxing a problem doesn't solve the problem and why governments resort to this as a solution I don't know. It just means that you and I who don't have a size problem will be paying for it.
The solution starts with educating both the parents and those who could end up being obese due to their diet.
Cutting back on the "in your face" tv advertising of fast food outlets that are designed to attract kids attention would also be a good start.
Ofcourse taxing is not the solution to obesity. But it helps pay for the health bills. Mainstream parties don't care about addressing the causes.
There already is plenty of education around healthy foods. It means jack shite if parents can't afford the basics, or are too busy working shit hours to cook a decent meal.
It helps that we have successive governments and councils who encourage kids NOT to bike and walk to school by investing more money into bigger wider roads with more traffic near their schools.
If lots of motorcyclists nowadays won't ride in Auckland without protection how many of them would let their kids bike to school on those same dangerous roads?
