In this week’s Sunday Soapbox I’m ranting about greenwashing in respect of the new Naturally Nood Bars from Sanitarium. We’ve seen it with Pepsi Next and Coke Life and well be seeing it a whole lot more. Just look at all the products marked “gluten free” that are free of […]
Dear Sanitarium
Just a few thoughts on your Up & Go Vending Partnership Program.
I missed this story from last week when you featured on TV3. Now I’ve seen the clip I’m almost speechless, almost. Sanitarium I’m sorry to have to say it but you’re setting the bar extremely low for corporate […]
Today I see Niki Bezzant’s (Healthy Food Guide) article in The Herald is on the topic of fibre, constipation and bloating. Now maybe it’s just me but I wonder if anyone else found it ironic that the article is based on a survey of New Zealand women by […]
I’ve been away from New Zealand recently and so have missed out on our main newspaper’s words of wisdom on the nutritional front for a couple of weeks. But luckily for me we’re back in time to get the latest from the NZ Herald.

And it’s been accompanied by the inevitable sensationalist headlines and articles showcasing an unfortunate but seemingly ever growing dearth of journalistic integrity.
Seriously, […]

Large food manufacturers are racing to reinvent themselves. Consumers are demanding REAL FOOD and the Big (Bad) Food industry is struggling to supply it. And this […]
I just read an article that I believe provides a compelling explanation as to how we’re getting ever closer to a complete rejection of the traditional food pyramid. That will be in spite of (rather than as a result of) the majority of “experts” in nutrition. Check out the article here http://voiceandexit.com/networks-bring-experts-paleo-example/. […]
“Dietitians approve chocolate this Easter – for malnourished older Australians”
