Do we know what we are paying for when buying food

By
I have to be honest when saying that I hate going shopping these days.  We have no real idea where or how our food is made or processed.

Supermarkets and the like mix products like fruit and vegetables on their shelves. When you buy a kilo of oranges for instance you may have some with pips and some without or navels mixed with other varieties.

Most of the products on our shelves is so misrepresented that we have no way of knowing what or anything is processed in the country of origin.

For instance Australian made could mean:
  • Some of the product is Australian
  • The paper or cardboard packaging is Australian
  • It could have a mixture of imported and Australian produce
Why are we being lied to?

Why can't the powers to be enforce the manufacturers to label products correctly?


Why are we all treated like fools.  Can't someone in the top office have enough gumption to stand up and stop these things from happening.  Start treating people with a bit of decency and they in turn might start to respect them in return.

PLEASE leave a comment and tell me what YOU think?

Are Shoppers Fooled by Size of Food Products when Comparing Prices

By

Many manufacturers are continually changing the sizes of their products. Are you the shopper fooled by sizes of food products when comparing prices.   Next time you go to your local supermarket have a look at the sizes of each brand of product that you want to buy. For instance you may want to buy a tin of baked beans and there are three different brands available on the shelf. They all look the same size on the shelf; but are they?  If you take a closer look, you will see that one is 400grams one 420grams and the other is 425 grams.  Why are they all different weights? I understand that all vegetables do not weigh the exact same although I still believe that baked beans, kidney beans, or say Lima beans should weigh close to the same.   If you look at the picture you can see I am using three tinned examples as I did not have three tins of the same products in my cupboard at time of writing this article. This also occurs in small goods products like bac...

Tips on Choosing a New Sewing Machine

By

There are so many new brands and makes of sewing machines these days that it is hard for the new sewer to choose which one to buy. Brands of Sewing Machines: Janome Brother Juki Singer  That is just to name a few of the more popular machines. Personally, I Prefer the Janomi. You will of course need to decide if you need something with the basic  stitches, or if you want one that does a lot of fancy stitches.  This one does 30 basic stitches.  Buy Janomi DC 2030  although if you just want one that you can mend something now and again, I suggest buying a cheaper one like this Singer M1000 and this still does 32 fancy stiches, but is a lot cheaper. Which is great if you are new to sewing and just want to make a few articles now and then or for instance I started making quilts on one very similar to this and after a year decided to get something a bit bigger.  The choice is yours entirely.  You will of course need Needles    This little bundle ...

Lose Weight walking on the Beach and Collect Shells to make Gifts

By

Mixture of different Seashells We all need to spend time walking on the beach while on holidays. Not only is it a rewarding experience we can lose weight  as we collect shells and use them to make beautiful gifts for Christmas or Birthdays. You can find shells on all beaches; although some will have cowrie shells or cone shells where another beach may only have small little cockle shells.  Others may have conche shells or if you are really lucky you may even find bigger shells. The best time to find good shells if after a big blow or a storm. Then you need to get down to the beach early before everyone else does so you get the pick of the crop.  You may even find a paper nautilus, these are very fragile almost as the title suggests like paper.

Best Training Commands and Feeders for your Dog

By

So, you have just been given your new puppy and he is starting to test your patience.  You badly need to learn the best training commands for your dog. First of all, if you want your dog to be house trained then this is where you need to start by toilet training him.  There is nothing worse than little puddles all over the new carpets. Once your dog has learned how to behave inside you will then have to train him with other commands like: sit, drop and stay.  Many people do not realise the importance of the stay command.  This simple command may save your dogs' life. If for instance you are out on your front lawn and a cat suddenly races out in front of you, the stay command could save him from chasing the cat across the road and being hurt from a passing car. There are books that you can buy on ways to train your dog to do tricks although I would make sure you have complete control of him with basic commands first before teaching him fancy extras.   r...
