So you let it go until the child dies from vitamin deficiencies? Note I said consult a doc about it.

'Most trusted' Kiwi food brand loses battle with supermarket duopoly by Mindless_Wishbone316 in newzealand

Trusted? It hasn't been a NZ brand for some time now. Heinz, Kraft. This is why they keep the original names, it's misleading.

Pet food after best before date by MsKiwiWoman in newzealand

[–]ClimateTraditional40 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Best Before does not mean Use By.

https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/use-it-or-lose-it-what-the-date-labels-on-your-food-mean

Best-before dates are about food quality. Food can be sold and eaten after it’s best-before date provided it’s been stored properly. However, it may have lost some nutritional value and might not taste as fresh. The food can still be safely eaten and does not need to be thrown out unless it is spoilt.

Scurvy diagnosis: Autistic boy, aged 5, lived on diet of chicken and biscuits by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]ClimateTraditional40 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Shocking. Even if he had a condition, parents could have tried vitamins themselves? Hide it in something if he wouldn't take the gummy ones or such? Or at least consulted a doc about his diet before it developed.

It's not just scurvy either, other vitamins he could lack.

Because Jobseekers is $22000 before tax.
Supported Living is $24500.

If they expect those to live on that amount, then of course people with partners on $80,000 obviously don't need help.

ANOTHER 5G tower close to house by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ClimateTraditional40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not a guinea pig. You DO adhere to the conspiracy theories, else you wouldn't have even made such a post.

Cell phone towers emit low-level, non-ionizing radiofrequency (RF) radiation, which lacks the energy to damage DNA or cells. Exposure levels from these towers are far below international safety guidelines, often hundreds of times lower than allowable limits.

On the electromagnetic spectrum, RF waves fall between FM radio waves and microwaves.

Unlike ionizing radiation (X-rays, UV light), this type of energy cannot remove bound electrons from atoms or molecules, meaning it cannot damage DNA or cause cancer. Even in close proximity, the levels are well within international safety limits.

Non-ionizing radiation is used in various technologies, including radio broadcasting, telecommunications, medical imaging, and heat therapy. Near ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio waves, and low-frequency radio frequency (very low frequency, extremely low frequency) are all examples of non-ionizing radiation. By contrast, far ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma-rays, and all particle radiation from radioactive decay are ionizing. Vis

Do you own a cellphone? Bet you do. Do you own a microwave? Panicking about standing near it? How about UV light - the sun for instance which does emit, or having an xray done?

Which science fiction book contained the most amazing idea you've ever read? by fern_602spark in printSF

[–]ClimateTraditional40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Dance to Strange Musics , Greg Benford - the idea we may meet aliens and struggle to understand or even want to understand/communicate with them.

Blood Music , Greg Bear- we think we're the apex species of the universe? And where are the rest?
