Great stuff, guys! Can we wake in time to say, “NO” ? Can we wake in time to say, “NO MESSING WITH OUR FOOD!” Can we wake in time to say, “NO ‘LOCAL AND IMPORTED INGREDIENTS’…. WHICH ARE ALREADY ON SALE!!..
” NO CRUSTACEAN in the CHICKEN !! ” ……….. ” NO MEALWORM in the MINCE.!! ”
” NO ‘Check Emissions’ in the CHEESE!! ” ………. ” NO LITHIUM in the QUINCE!! ”
Where is all the Maori activism walloping and prancing & chanting:
” KAUA E te FRANKENKAI!” ….. “GMO’s ARE ALL TUTAI !!”
what about:
” HYBRID KINA ??? ! ……devastation………. that’s CULTURAL APPROPRIATION! !!!! ‘
Sorry this comment is not very civil or respectful.
I took one bite of a product containing ‘local and imported ingredients’ including crustacean (in a chicken schnizel)* and threw the whole packet of them into the compost. So incredibly wasteful as people will boycott and throw away food which is not good and fake foods mean woke and woke means broke.
Organics Aotearoa??? GE Free Aotearoa???.
