Also, this title on sale at the Senckenberg stood out: “A Field Guide to the Bushcrickets, Wetas and Raspy Crickets of Tanzania and Kenya”. Wait, what? Wetas?? Aren’t they endemic to #NZ?

While true wētā are in NZ & nowhere else, apparently they DO have relatives living overseas (like many #Kiwis 😜).

There are close relatives in Australia: King/Raspy crickets (the Anostostomatidae family) & South/ East Africa: Parktown prawns (also Anostostomatidae family). Distant relatives live in the Americas: Camel/Cave crickets (Rhaphidophoridae family).

Who knew? They’re not known locally as wētā outside of NZ, but is “weta” borrowed from Māori?

Estamos preocupados en casa con que metan presa a la madre, porque anda repartiendo clandestinamente fruta entre las vecinas, y tenemos miedo que lo cobre de estraperlo, o lo que es peor, que rompa la economía de mercado y lo ande regalando... ;-)

'New Zealanders with type two diabetes having amputations in record numbers'

The tragic thing about this is that the population is so conditioned by meat and dairy industry that they rarely even realise or accept that the journey towards amputations is accelerated by eating animal products which coagulate, solidify, and finally block arteries and veins which carry blood to and from the limbs.

The industries have Kiwis so primed to be irrationally phobic about veganism, and so addicted by putting dairy unnecessarily into foods (it excites opiate receptors), that the bulk of the population moves as if on a conveyer belt in an abbatoir towards cardiac and vascular issues.

Recent NZ comments on a Herald article about a study in the medical, peer-reviewed Lancet journal showed they would rather deny validity of those doing superb research than face the truth that animal products can have such cumulative negative effects on the body. Hence NZ's shocking bowel cancer stats.

I do wonder how many of the comments came directly from those in the industries to continue their blood profiteering, though.
