Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. OK, so I’m off dairy too. May 24, 2016. May 27, 2016. Right now in Australia, the dairy industry is struggling. The farmers have taken some big hits lately and many are going to the wall or really feeling the pinch. Waleed Aly recently spoke of this on The Project. And he exhorted his fellow Aussies to consume more dairy, especially cheese. But here it is. I recently discovered. Wait a minute, I hear you say. Dairy farmers are all great peopl...

Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. Thoughts on Consciousness in Human Beings and Other Animals. March 10, 2016. April 18, 2016. This post is not a whinge as such, nor even a proper blog post. Rather, it is perhaps a work in progress, a placeholder to store my thoughts about that most intriguing of subjects – what is consciousness? It became apparent that it is all too easy for people to dismiss the inner experience of other animals on the basis that they do not possess some proper...

Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. Why DO human beings drink milk? January 29, 2017. January 31, 2017. We’ve all seen the sensationalist posts on social media claiming that dairy products are simply not good for human beings – it’s unhealthy and causes more harm than good. But how true is this? 8211; moving away from dairy WITHOUT proper medical advice. Https:/ www.csiro.au/en/News/News-releases/2016/Dairy-avoidance-reaches-dangerous-levels. Of course, dairy farmers are adamant th...

Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. What the response to the Australia Day lamb ad tells us. January 17, 2016. January 18, 2016. Recently the Meat and Livestock Association released its annual ‘lamb ad’. This is an advertisement aimed at encouraging the over consumption of lamb on Australia Day, the suggestion being that it is somehow patriotic to eat more lambs. The offending scene depicts members of this force wanting to liberate a vegan, found sitting on the floor in his humble ...

Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. The conundrum of the caring dairy farmer. August 11, 2016. January 25, 2017. Recently I posted my thoughts about the dairy industry in “ OK, so I’m off dairy too. Well, it seems I was mistaken – it isn’t all sweetness and light. And you know what? I think they are. All of those I have spoken with are thoughtful, decent, genuine and hard-working people who it seems truly believe that what they do is an essential and deeply beneficial element i...

Thoughts and observations about stuff that matters to me…. So, eating meat causes cancer? This must be a joke, right? October 31, 2015. October 31, 2015. However, the initial reporting of this study’s findings unleashed a firestorm of protest everywhere, particularly from those fearing the loss of bacon from the public food trough. I am pretty sure I even heard one lady journalist on television bemoaning how life would no longer be worth living if she couldn’t eat bacon. October 28, 2015. October 31, 2015.
