Infant Formula Survey – Massey University Research

Jen from Roslyn - Terrace End

Kia ora koutou,

I’m Jen Larking, the Technical Study Coordinator at Feast, Massey University’s Food Experience and Sensory Testing Laboratory. We specialise in consumer research and sensory evaluation to better understand food experiences and preferences.

I am reaching out because we have a short 4-question survey that may be of interest. In preparation for a future study that will be held on Massey campus in Palmerston North, we would like to understand your experiences with infant formula (cow’s milk-based). The survey is quick—just four questions—and will help inform our research in this space.

Thank you.

Ngā mihi,

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
