DINOSAURS WIPED OUT BY METEOR
- Awesome reporting by Stuff.co.nz

http://stuff.co.nz/4595426a10.html

Sure, it's an article about a titanosaur bone found in nz, but check the last line:
"Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a meteorite slammed into the Earth."

Well, that settles the hundreds of years old debate on the topic. Cheers Stuff.
Fantastic reporting.

It's currently negative two in Christchurch.

You walk past objects every day, seeing them frozen is just... weird.
Even after being here for two years I'm still not used to seeing puddles of water frozen solid.

Hmm, a self imposed fat tax might help me lose some weight... for every month (or week) I'm overweight, I have to put into a savings account an amount equal to $1 per kilo over my target weight.

It'll stop me spending that money on crap food, and I get some savings out of it too.

I object.

mandatory fat checks are no better than mandatory tattoos on your forehead.

is fat the new jew?

how about mandatory drug checks on the population? where does it stop?

Im all for people being healthy,
but this is not the way.

It's one way

The other way is to continue to show fat bellies on the TV news in the hope that fatties will feel bad enough to lose the weight and stop being a burden on the health system.

toys get banned if they have an unsafe lead level in their paint
...because long term they will prove to be harmful.

perhaps we should think about banning certain convenience foods with excessive levels of fats and low nutritional value.?

Smoking is harmful to your health, Yes?

Being unhealthy means you need more medical attention, E.G public hospitals, Yes?

You pay tax on the ciggarettes you buy to help pay for the medical treatment you are going to need for smokeing these cigarettes, Yes?

Being fat is harmful to you health, Yes?

Beaing Unhealthy means you need more medical attention, Yes!

Then why do you pay no tax on being fat, when you have to on ciggarettes, when both require you to seek more medical facilities in the future?

What about compulsory gym attendance/exercise classes/diet advice to qualify for healthcare if you are obese (at your own cost)?

At least if you're fat, prove you're trying not to be (or don't get healthcare for heart problems and diabetes)

Quint: Arguably, you pay GST on food, which you consume to become fat :P

You do. You also pay GST on cigarettes, and then another tax.

I would be happy for tax to go on certain food. But you know if the current government did it, they would be accused of being a nanny state.

Well I say half the population are unable to think for themselves and need a nanny to look after them.
