    Company behind famous Aussie sports brands files for bankruptcy

    I very much doubt that. The average person can't afford to buy from them along with sizing that does not go to large. The fashion industry needs a rocket under them. Size 10, skinny, lovely people who like fitting stuff are not the only people on the planet. Also for someone who lives in the...

    Is this the future of Australian housing? See what others think about this massive change

    This is certainly a problem. And as others say, add to that the lack of ability for emergency services to access the places and you have a real issue especially with a fire. Not only that the houses for the most part are built out of crap materials as stated by one architect who is quite...

    Astounding new details emerge from deadly aircraft collision as authorities investigate

    Sadly this sort of thing happens. Looking at it from an outsiders perspective but one who has lived with a military aircraft person for years, there are a number of scenarios. The previous day a civilian jet was forced to do a go round due to a helicopter being in the vicinity. This needs to be...

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    Yeah no matter nothing close to me anyway. Gotta go at least 80 kms to get to either of them. 60 to the nearest BigW and Kmart

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    Yes but the choice is limited. Mostly dark colours or puffy stuff. Not suitable for older ladies. I have bought some dresses from Kmart and BigW but had to unpick the "darts" to allow for a better fit.

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    We don't have Suzanne Grae or Suzanne's anywhere close. Had actually thought they had closed as well. Also no Target just a Kmart hub 60 kms away. Going to rubbish these days

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    Personal opinion. I will not buy from Temu as they have been accused of capturing personal data. I have bought stuff from them but won't anymore. too much risk

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    I don't believe it is really due to online shopping. I have been a Rivers and Millers shopper for years. Some time ago they changed their focus and downgraded the quality and design of their clothing. Lovely colourful tops and pants gave way to chunky, single colour (mostly dark), heavy material...

    This state is on the brink of a health crisis. Will this affect other Aussie states soon?

    The biggest issue is regional areas. They are depending more and more on the ambulance service and the emergency departments. We live 60 kms from a regional town. We now have to go to that regional town for medical services. The medical practice we got to is growing with new doctors and...

    Experts Reveal the Secret Superfood That Melts Pounds Away—Are You Eating It Yet?

    Oh grief here we go again on the calories in calories out theory. Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. Cannot use thermodynamics on humans. Try carb counting. Watch out for nuts, some have high oxalate count. Can cause oxalate damage. Better to eat macadamias. Higher better fats and very low in oxalates...

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Sorry we need salt to survive it's the sugar that is the problem. Find a butcher who does his own hams. Less stuff in them. Cured just means it's been through a process to allow it to keep longer.

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Red meat will not give you diabetes. But eating highly processed junk will. The more carbs the more glucose put into the body, the more insulin related the more likely to end up with diabetes. Protein and fat do not cause diabetes, junk food, high carb diet do. Seed oil is poison too.

    Eating just a little ham each day could skyrocket your diabetes risk – New research reveals an alarming trend!

    Yeah lots of rubbish out there that people believe. The more carbs, the more glucose in the blood, the more insulin released and then the diabetes arrives and it gets worse over time. Sad

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    I try to be a messenger. Research and see what you find. I don't have medical qualifications and to be honest I think these days they are more dangerous than the guy who does his own research and finds what works. I've found a great group of doctors and dieticians, most who have had health...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Lately I have been. I have cherries in season. I also usually eat raspberries and strawberries and a bit of mango. I like to have some in season. I prefer not to be full carnivore these days. Find my system runs better with a bit of fruit and veg but don't eat a lot and not every day. I might...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Not harsh just the truth. I learned the hard way, hoping to help others learn and help themselves. Most have no idea until they get a doctor or dietician who knows the truth.

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    obviously you know nothing about fruit. Fruit is sugar, most is 40% fructose the type of sugar processed by the liver. All fruit is sugar no matter what type it is. We have to process food in certain ways. Some is processed by the body into glucose directly from the mouth. Some has to be...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    I doubt I am always right. I just don't like seeing people sick from eating badly. What some call healthy isn't my idea of healthy. I've fallen off the low carb wagon more times than I care to think about due to lack of weigh loss. My blood work is pretty good so not going to worry about it...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    This is possible but would what you ate actually give you good health long term. Fruit and snacks can be problematic. We should not be eating all day. We need one to two meals, very nutrient dense. We should not either snack or feel we need to snack. Any straight sugar or carbs can cause a...

    This Family Stopped Eating Ultra-Processed Foods for a Month, and the Effects on Their Energy, Hunger, and Mental Health Are Astonishing

    Sorry don't believe this. Mostly it is what we put in our mouths. It can take many years but between the jabs and ultra processed foods the young are now suffering from young age diabetes and ending up obese (I don't consider obesity a disease but a product of disease) and cancer. When you see...
