[nodrog:Me]

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
