A Raw Deal
A NZ company that provides school pupils lunches is dishing out uncooked chicken and other meat such as second or third rate beef and apparently most of its meals are unappealing.
Well, write them off the supply list but no doubt personnel associated with the firm will reappear in some other form.
Uncooked or undercooked chicken, venison and pork are a no no and if the other kinds of meat such as beef and lamb are not first grade and produced in a country such as NZ, they too become dicey to ones health if undercooked. Let's face it, most people in NZ prefer quality steaks medium cooked which means pink in the centre.
Dogs should not be given raw meat (or raw eggs) either. It seems few people realise this. Dogs ceased being a natural animal hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago in many cases and so they too are subjected to the chance of becoming sick from uncooked meat of any type.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
