Grocery Price Watch

So we now have Kevin Rudd's Grocery Price Watch to supposedly explain the grocery prices and to help working family's , blah , blah , blah.
My take on the Grocery Price Watch , and I have worked in and with retail now for over 20 years ( the exact number would give away my age ), is that all it will help you do is watch the prices rise.
That's it nothing else , the majors will still do what they want and we will just watch the price of groceries keep going up and up.
Unit pricing you say , well remember the prices will still be there so you will now see how much you are getting screwed by the gram or unit.

Are Speedwalkers Gay or have we just lost our sense of humor ?

In the UK an ad featuring Mr T for Snickers has been pulled off the air for allegedly being offensive to gay men.
You can read the story here from the Guardian
My opinion , I think it's a funny ad , not really offensive to anyone and really think there are certain sections of society that have lost their sense of humor.
I also now think that if any men powerwalk they would be considered " gay "
Remember the Seinfeld episode , "not that their's anything wrong with that "

Obese - are we or aren't we

Noticed in the paper today that foodprices are set to double well that should help with the obesity epidemic.

But hang on a minute according to the Australian yesterday the obesity epidemic is a myth with the headline

hysteria over fat children inflated

But wait there is more with the AMA claiming the obesity epidemic is no myth

However our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd sets it all straight when he said " the challenge of tackling obesity is a big one, but he is committed to the task."

Big one hilarious Mr Rudd
