Health fears as Auckland drowns in fast food swamps Auckland is drowning in a sea of junk food, with residents spending more than $1 billion annually on fast feeds and takeaways. Experts warn the city faces a looming health crisis, as Sapeer Mayron and Hannah Martin report. In February 2018, some Aucklanders queued up for 36 hours to be there when Aotearoa’s first-ever Krispy Kreme opened in Manukau. Youth worker Chillion Sanerivi​ saw no cause for celebration. Rather, he started a private boycott against the brand. “It was for me, it wasn’t to make a statement to anyone else. It was like, I am not going to endorse this type of food when we are already swamped and flooded with a variety of unhealthy choices,” he says. “I’d had enough.” Growing up, the threat of diabetes loomed large for Sanerivi, who is a youth innovation manager for The Cause Collective​, and co-founder of the south Auckland youth movement Do Good Feel Good​. His grandmother succumbed to the disease. So did
Media release 16 May 2024 New Zealand’s food system is out of balance, with urgent action needed to protect the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders, a new report has found. The Public Health Advisory Committee (PHAC) has released its first report – Rebalancing our food system. The report examines the deficiencies of how we produce, distribute, and consume food in New Zealand and the approach needed to ensure our food systems support the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders. The PHAC chair Kevin Hague says New Zealand’s food system is working best for a small number of large businesses and poorly for the health and wellbeing of many New Zealanders. “Our food system is a major contributor to New Zealand’s prosperity, helping pay for services and infrastructure that support people’s health and wellbeing,” Mr Hague says. “However, it is also out of balance and urgent action is needed to reprioritise human and environmental health over commercial incentives.” “Acc

  Māori traditionally ate a mix of cultivated, hunted and gathered foods. In the 21st century many traditional ingredients and preparation techniques remained important, and some had been adapted to modern tastes. Traditional growing and gathering Cultivated plants The ancestors of the Māori brought edible plants from their homelands, including kūmara, yams, taro and tī pore (Cordyline fruticosa), a species of cabbage tree. In Aotearoa (New Zealand) the climate was significantly colder than that in which these plants had evolved, and Māori developed sophisticated techniques for adapting them to the new environment. They were cultivated in huge communal māra (gardens), sometimes with gravel, sand, shell and charcoal added to the soil. Plants were also grown using hue (gourds) as containers. Some native trees, flax and flowering shrubs were brought into cultivation closer to human settlements to attract birds. Many stands of the native cabbage tree tī kōuka (Cordyline australis) can s

What did people eat 100 years ago (above picture of slim healthy folk) Our ancestors' natural diet was an irresistibly flavorful combination of nutrition and flavor, featuring lentils and other legumes for protein sources while grains like brown rice, oats and quinoa provided plentiful amounts of fiber-rich food sources like brown rice. Their traditional eating patterns stood in stark contrast to today's modern-day consumption of processed foods, refined sugars and trans fats which has led to obesity, diabetes and heart disease among other issues. Indeed, our ancestors' diets centered on natural sources. They consumed whole, unprocessed foods, from nature that they knew they could trust as part of living healthy lifestyles. Doctor Ken Berry was hImself an obese doctor from today's deadly SAD (STANDARD AMERICAN DIET)! But luckily he made the big jump in diets to Ketogenic and now Carnivore diet. And what a Godsend!
