    Penny-wise palate: Budget cooking guru delivers flavourful feasts at $150 weekly!

    We are on the pension. I only buy sweet potato for hubby. I don't eat veg and only the bit of fruit I grow. I buy chicken wing and air fry them. Also buy steak and lamb chops. Do pork and lamb roasts when they are cheap. I don't eat breakfast and don't eat grains or seed oils. I cook with butter...

    Hospitals tally record-high visits straining the Australian healthcare system

    I have noticed over the last 40+ years that there has been a general change in our diets. We have relied on governments and other vested interests to tell us what to eat. Now we have a ballooning health crisis and with the recent removal of bulk billing by many medical centres this is putting an...

    Looming infestation threatens several pantry staples across Australia

    There are a lot of "keto" recipes out there. Most use almond flour but I am now using macadamia flour as it is lower in oxalates (they can be an issue in high amounts) and higher in good fats. There are some commercial operations who cater for this but it is more expensive. I did do a flourless...

    Looming infestation threatens several pantry staples across Australia

    sorry I don't eat grains. I eliminated them from my diet some time ago. I cook my own cakes and biscuits. Don't use conventional flour. Also don't eat seed oils like canola

    Looming infestation threatens several pantry staples across Australia

    Don't eat grains so won't affect me. Personal opinion think a lot of these bugs are deliberately introduced to wreck our agricultural industry and make us reliant on imported crap

    Shining light on solar safety: LG sparks urgent recall for overheating batteries

    Good grief this has been going on for ages. Adds on TV. How come they can't write to the companies supplied and get them to contact the clients who got these batteries and stuff. Bad issue

    Lawyer’s provocative Woolworths stunt exposes consumer tactics: ‘They're intrusive’

    yes know that feeling. Live 60 kms from large rural town. Only got Woolies and IGA here. Less choice and sometimes pricier

    Lawyer’s provocative Woolworths stunt exposes consumer tactics: ‘They're intrusive’

    Yes I am with both Woolworths Rewards and Coles flybuys. I realise they track my spending. I use the cards as where I live there isn't much in alternatives locally. I have found that I go shopping and then get an email the same afternoon suggesting I could get xyz points if I spend so many...

    AIBU 24.05.2024

    No I'm a bit sick of seeing agents tell people they should renovate or "stage" their homes. It really is totally ridiculous. If a prospective buyer can't see past what you have to work out if their stuff will fit or not then they should not be house hunting. Most agents just want to sell the...

    Experts reveal new COVID-19 sub-variants that may spark surge in cases

    Reality is this crap is all fabricated to put fear into people. There is no such thing as viruses. A doctor has a million dollar reward out for anyone who can show him a virus or breed it in a petrie dish. Nothing so far. All junk science. Mostly it's either bacteria or the body detoxing from...

    Experts reveal new COVID-19 sub-variants that may spark surge in cases

    Your doctor is so correct. Most of this rubbish is not a virus but a reaction ot someone your body does not like. A toxin in the air. Even something you have eaten can cause the same issues. I'm 74, just had the worst bug in years. Had antibiotics. Also had been told I have atrial fibrillation...

    Australia declares first human 'bird flu' case—here's what we know so far

    Yes mostly these "viruses" are low vitamins like D3, K2 and zinc and electtolytes. Also some are detoxing symptoms. We used vitamin C for our son with glandular fever. Was amazing to see his recovery

    Australia declares first human 'bird flu' case—here's what we know so far

    Yeah and farmers will have to kill off entire flocks. No chicken meat, no eggs. Then they will turn on the rest of the meat industry

    Australia declares first human 'bird flu' case—here's what we know so far

    Well if you believe in the existance of viruses then you will believe it. I don't. It is all so much smoke and mirrors and lies. They want to destroy the animal farming industry so they can dictate what we eat. These people need to be pushed to sit down, shut up and stop the fear campaign...

    Hosts Dave Hughes and Osher Günsberg reveal fate of Channel 10 reality shows: ‘It’s a tough one’

    Don't watch reality rubbish. Just brain drain. Better things out there to watch. Need more drama (good stuff not the mind numbing crap that is out there) Sad we have gotten to the point where we can only watch reality tv and find it actually entertaining. Sad

    Discover how new fuel-efficiency standards will help Australian drivers save hundreds of dollars!

    Over it all. Too old to argue with people who are so invested in crap they can't see what is really happening. I'll stay as a conspiracy theorist and maybe I will live another 10 years or so and see how things are then. There is an old saying, history repeats itself because the younger...

    Discover how new fuel-efficiency standards will help Australian drivers save hundreds of dollars!

    So dreadful mining practices to get the rare earth mineral to make these batteries is worse than oil production. I think not. This is all about making money. Keep the rich, rich and the poor with nothing. I really hope all these shopping centres with EV charging stations are not allowing them to...

    Study finds plant-based meat products show no ‘clear benefit’ for heart health

    yes my kids all learned to cook. One is now paleo which is helping with pain management. I have gone carnivore now. Sick of being sick and tired. Slid on and off over the years but now need to get well. Anything processed is not good. Plants have chemicals in them that humans don't tolerate well...
