Why people in New Zealand eat so much ice cream?

In New Zealand there is a lot of ice cream, like nothing I have seen before. I would say that the weather there isn't that hot to justify such consumption. Anybody has any idea why the people there love ice cream so much?

first of all they do consume a considerable amount , though still less the the u.s.
if you examine food anthropology research findings you will find that there is not always a connection between surroundings and a cultre's "flavor" - meaning it does not have to be very worm for a nation to pick ice cream as it's traditional desert.


one good reason can be New Zealand's quality dairy products, which are in turn the result of a clean environment, year-round grazing on outdoor pasture, a technologically advanced dairy industry, and strict quality and hygiene standards.

lol it's because we have great tasting ice cream here, the New Zealand favorite brand is tip top and has many flavors. As a New Zealand mum I buy it for the kids because it's cheep, a nice treat for the girls.

But most of all it's part of kiwi culture which we call kiwiana.

Why America Is Over, False News OK!

''At a local level ... I think the first inclination was to try and put a towel over it and deal with it without an official recall. That is never what we would do in New Zealand.'' Once again New Zealand is showing the world how things should be done and yet other countries are choosing PROFIT or HONESTY. Good on you, New Zealand! From the news story (and remember this was not Fonterra or New Zealand's fault, they wanted to cover up the story): ''At a local level ... I think the first inclination was to try and put a towel over it and deal with it without an official recall. That is never what we would do in New Zealand.'' Chinese officials say that private milk-collecting stations are probably at fault for the rapidly unfolding scandal. All 19 people detained so far in China's nationwide probe into how the chemical melamine came to contaminate the formula are from the stations, which pick up milk from dairy farmers, according to the China Daily yesterday.

World Bank Take Over Of G7!

New Zealand. Listen far and wide. You have a national election just weeks away. The Citizens of New Zealand that all currency by the Reserve Bank be backed by Gold. Robert Zollick who looks like the "Monopoly Board Game Cartoon" basically wishes to disclose national sovereignty of nations. Since NZ is not named in this statement by Zollick, the time is now to fully lock down New Zealand from the New World Order. "In the wake of global economic fears, World Bank chief Robert Zoellick has proposed a new multilateral steering group 'suiting our times' to replace the G7, which he attacked as 'no longer effective'. Such a group would include not only the rich nations, but also emerging powers like China, India and Brazil and would be more flexible'." Now, notice the dynamite revelation of this next segment! 'We will not create a new world simply by remaking the old. It should be numberless, flexible, and over time, it could evolve." The bottom line agenda of this planned disaster is to buy the old system (Capitalism) so it can be replaced by the government controlled, government regulated system (Fascist). Once these chieftains are finished, Capitalism will not exist in any part of the developed world. That is the plan and that is the reason for all this financial disaster. The world is getting very close to this kind of complete financial overhaul. This next news quote reveals just how pervasive this new "Constricting Global Body" is planned to be, at least initially! "Such a proposal offers the solution of further constriction, like a python, to supercede the G7 and impose greater world control. Zoellick envisions that new reforms would 'bring together over 70 percent of the worlds gross domestic product, 56 percent of the world population, 62 percent of global energy production, the worlds major carbon emitters, big donor countries, and the main players in global capital, commodity, and exchange rate markets'. The scope of this plan is truly breathtaking! In one fell swoop, this Illuminati Insider is revealing the immediate goal of this planned crisis. Before the Masonic Christ arises, the economies of the entire world will fall under the control of this "python". But, for now, virtually the entire developed world is falling under this control. Now, Zoellick utters the words, New World Order. "Zoellick joins numerous banks and leaders such as Gordon Brown in calling for a 'new financial world order'. He also echoes proposals last month from Jeffrey Garten, a protege of Bilderberger Henry Kissinger, for a new global monetary authority ... sovereignty, as it states here, would be a vestigial formality under the new world body as it seduces in its new victims. Again, the World Bank and IMF would be the real power behind the chic new-multilateral group, and would clearly make key decisions..." Thus, this plan calls for individual national sovereignty to be surrendered to the global authorities, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Can you see the new global financial order developing here? This financial system will evolve into the global system of Revelation 13 in the Bible. Now, we learn that both Democrat and Republican Parties are "in lock-step" with this plan. "Zoellick points out that both Obama and McCain are in lock-step on the decision to 'strengthen the sinews of Americas ties with the world'. Therefore it is clear that either new president would support such widespread reforms with almost unquestionable obedience ... Therefore, Zoellick said challenging times will require the World Bank and the IMF to step in and act quickly."

UNICEF: Ambassador Haley Westenra's trip to...

ACCRA, Ghana, 29 September 2008 UNICEF Ambassador Hayley Westenra visited Ghana last week to see for herself the critical need for safe water and education for some of the worlds poorest children. Ms. Westenra, 21, an internationally renowned singer from New Zealand, is UNICEF's youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador. She last visited Ghana in 2005. Visiting a Guinea worm containment centre in Savelugu, northern Ghana, Ms. Westenra saw firsthand the terrible impact drinking water contaminated with Guinea worm has on children. Once the water-borne worms get into childrens bodies, they can grow up to a metre in length and create painful swelling and blisters. UNICEF has been providing safe drinking water and hygiene education as part of the effort to combat Guinea worm. The parasite has a disproportionate impact on children under age 16, as they are more likely to play in or drink from infected water sources. Significant progress has been made, however, in reducing the incidence of Guinea worm in Ghana. In 1989 there were almost 180,000 reported cases, but the annual total is now down to a small fraction of that figure.
