    Good one Robert...Agree wholeheartedly with you.no yahoo comments except odd useless rubbish that means nothing to anyone.. no allowance for real news comments.ie.assylum seekers etc.. time we got somethng new here yahoo. we need to express our thoughts and feelings and be allowed to say what we think and feel about the real world, not some thought up sidetracking babble.

    Obviously the Labor government have never herd of the saying "If it aint broke why fix it" pitty. If they had of three years ago they wouldn't be spending all our tax dollars on boat people. My kids school is missing out on funding because of these bludgers.

    You've forgotten the biggest myth - organic foods are no healthier for you than normal food! Several peer reviewed articles have shown that. However they are typically from lower yielding fields. As a result, more rainforests need to be chopped down to feed the world's increasing population. And before the abuse starts, I eat a lot of healthy foods, relatively low meat diet, I excercise regularly, have normal cholesterol and blood pressure and am within the normal weight range for my height/age.

    this is a load of rubbish, the fibre, nutrient and vitamin cintent far outweigh the suger, also try researching the difference between fructose and sucrose unless you want to sound as brainless as the writer of this garbage
