Good, that sorts salmon, thanks. Now what about palm oil and how we can avoid that in NZ for the sake of the orangutangs?
-
I note that Insight on Radio NZ on Sunday morning at 8 am is looking at salmon farming in the Sounds.

Re ethical food, I wonder if anyone has noted that King Salmon, which is presumably the brand featured in the Food Bag (considering Nadia Lim's TV advertising campaign for it), is not very popular with some environmental groups in the Marlborough Sounds.

I prefer the sort of marketing campaign that Tonzu Tofu have done. They have pledged to pay their workers a living wage and as a consequence have got some very favourable coverage in the media and online. I already buy the products but will do so more regularly now.

Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Nora Leggs,
Lovely. Is that a type of orchid?
-
LIttle green frog finds companionship with older concrete friend. The pond level is low (being a particularly dry summer) and this sunny possie is usually under water.
-
No students this time? Those two young people who spoke in Wellington were great.
-
I quite liked the way Holmes died very publicly, on his own terms. Good to see the process of dying normalised.
-
So presumable the ads will be targetted at young males too?

As I have mentioned several times previously here, my son has been a great fan of Paul Holmes for a couple of decades - probably since the beginning of the Holmes programme when my son was still a preschooler.This special interest extends to playing his CD (which somehow in the last 13 years was signed by PH himself, and amazingly is still in one piece) as de-stressing music every day on arriving home from work. Each Q&A programme was recorded and watched several times. He knows that this enthusiasm is not held by anyone else in the family (in fact the opposite). I thought it might have started as a rebellious/independence child v parent thing - such as when children have an innate ability to become fascinated by something the parents actively dislike (like children of atheist parents becoming fundamentalist Christians).
But I asked him this week just what it is about PH that appeals to him. He grinned and I got a list of adjectives that sounded like a CV: entertaining, funny, silly, unpredictable. So even though it completely missed me, there really must have been something about PH that was like comfort food and gave pleasure to an enormous number of people.
