An Aussie, a Ranger and now a Bible Basher if you keep eating weet-bix.

The Sanitarium company is owned by the Seventh-Day Adventists, one of the world's four major christian cults.

[Sallubrious]

And Sanitarium is exempt from paying tax on their profits because the company is listed as a charitable organisation.

[sethomopod]

it's not as readily absorbed as elemental iron in plants etc. and besides, i don't want to eat iron filings. but hey if your fine with eating small shards of metal every morning be my guest.

 

sorry but this is incorrect... They are in no way shards.. The iron is food grade and it is a powder...

I used to be a cook at sanitarium. I was the guy who added all the vitamins... If you ate weet bix between 2005 and 2007 in qld, i made them...

Of all the places i worked, they actually cared about the product...

All sorts of other crazy shit happened there though.. But nothing that ever comromised the product...

true... They get paid to pray....

All that crazy shit that went down there was an extension of the religious aspects...

Lots of weird sexual shit....

If the QLD plant is anything like the Cooranbong plant, then they would have been like a box full of hamsters crawling over the top of each other.

Cooranbong is loaded with inbred half wits. If it has a hole and a heartbeat someone in Cooranbong will fuck it, even if it is their own sibling.

When I was a kid we used to drive through Cooranbong on the way to see our Grandparents and I asked the old man what Sanitarium meant. He told me it was place where they send people who are fucked in the head. Some of the locals made it easy to believe so I just thought it was a nut house until I was about ten.

I wouldn't eat Weetbix until my early teens because I thought they were made by the kinds of people we'd see on the street down there - dribble running down their shirts and their undies pulled up to their navel.

I usually have cereal for breakfast as it's my main source of carbs to begin the day, any meals/snacks after lunch I try to minimise carbs and stick to proteins, fats, and lots of vegies. Breakfast cereal for me is 2 or 3 weetbix with milk (no added sugar), oats porridge (carefully selected for low sugar and sodium), or muesli (also carefully selected for low sodium, but sugar is impossible to avoid if there are fruity bits).

I read (in Choice I think?) that if you are going to have cereal for breakfast, that weetbix is pretty much the best option out of all of them. Low sugar, low sodium, has some fibre, has some protein.

Most "breakfast cereals" are little more than candy. I hope I never let my kid start her day with that shit.

[dionysus]

i dont mind the odd vita brit, occasionaly spread with (real, salty) butter, sprinkled with sugar and topped with raisins is quite a decent snack on the occasion. i can't stand wheat bix though, i guess just the way i was raised

Yeah, but even with all there clear flaws, at least they don’t feast on the flesh of an animal that has been raised in inhumane conditions and is just as intelligent as your average dog (sorry mate, couldn’t help myself ).

Anyway, those seventh day adventists are very serious when it comes to there diet, unlike most other food companies they really do care about what people put into there bodies. I love their veggie sausages too, they seriously are meat like in taste and texture, imo.

Exactly when did you see this thread becoming a goddamn soapbox for your weakened, mannourised cries for attention? Its the second anti-carnivore statement so far. At least half of us dont give a fuck about the cult of veganism. Put a sock in it. Jesus Christ, Im so sick of your type preaching to everyone else. Youre worse than the fundamentalist christians.

My crystal ball tealls me that here's where you take the floor and mindlessly quote some skewed facts out of Earthlings to bolster your vego self righteousness. Go for it, I'm popping our for a kebab (mixed - beef, lamb and chook) and might check in later.

[SunChaser]

It was a joke you temperamental twit! You were the one who started the soapbox rants about it being “social brainwashing” to eat breakfast cereals for breakfast (which I notice you have now edited out).

If your sad little mentality is to fragile to handle a harmless smart arse comment directed at you, then don’t make smart arse comments towards other people., simple!

Jesus, I thought I had issues.

[Amazonian]

I remember being served hot weet bix (or vita bix ) for breaky when I was a kid. Mum used mostly boiling water and a dash of milk, and a stack of sugar . It was like baby food, but I use to like it up until my early teens.

Bloody sugar, I have always been careful not to use sugar on my kids cereals or milo/tea, I don't want them to grow up addicted to sugar too. But they do get sugar in other forms, just not directly from the spoon, not that there is a difference,lol.

EDIT: I should add, Yes, i am aware Milo is loaded with sugar:)

If i were a pig id prefer it if humans ate Weetbix for breakfast lunch and tea.

[SunChaser]

I remember when I was a kid I used to come home from school and as a daily routine I’d make some weetbix and just completely bury them in milo. It amazes me now how my brothers and me never had a weight problem with all the unhealthy shit we used to eat.

If i were a pig id prefer it if humans ate Weetbix for breakfast lunch and tea.

 

I suppose I would to if I where a pig. lol, You'll have to try a lot harder than that if you want to hook line and sinker me mate.

Peace

Iron fillings ? Never heard that one. Sanitarium are up there In the quality department.

Edit- Jabez, psylo - chill u pair of nut jobs this could last for months. Stop your jive

This would be a good scene where "The Phantom" appears and cracks your heads together and a little Pygmy appears and shoots you both in the arse with a dart that makes you want to give each other gobbies and if they don't work because you both are immune to giving each other gobbies, "The Phantom" punches you both in the forehead leaving a permanent reminder of what jivin will achieve.

I deal with sanitarium on a weekly basis. The wheat that goes into your bid is h2- highest quality wheat available. They even inspect our site to make sure there's no grain pests or diseases on site. Before sanitarium guys arrive our site goes into a fit cleaning up. If they see grain on lying on the ground they will cancel An order. If the grain does not go to spec they will roast all the grain handlers in duty responsible for loading the train. They are soooooo anal. Which I guess reflects on their quality products.

Yeah, nice incognito, one of your humorous light hearted posts, which in all seriousness I do enjoy. But if you’ve read the thread I’m a little confused why you’re telling me to chill, I was never unchill. Oh, that’s right the social structure, psylos your little mate. Down this old road again.

Peace

Off to work.. Will elaborate tonight...

if we are not supposed to eat animals why do they taste so good you dont get up a lion for eating meat

[SunChaser]

Well, what a logical and intelligent argument. Someone should really start an awareness group about that, bringing attention to the evil nature of animals that have evolved as carnivores. Or we should all start a campaign about how everyone should be slamming heroin into there vein everyday, since it feels good, so it must be a good thing to do, right? lol.

On a serious note (since you ask), I don’t get up on anyone simply because they eat meat. I mean, I personally find it a primitive and an unnecessary practise in a rich western society, where there’s many other sources of nutrition to sustain ourselves. But I’ve personally got far more pressing issues to worry about, than worrying about what people choose to eat.

What I do get pissed about though, is inhumane animal husbandry practises. If anyone takes a little time to research the way a lot of pigs (for example) are raised for food production in this country, then I’m sure you will see what I’m talking about when I talk about inhumane farming practises.

Anyway, in relation to this thread, I wasn’t going on some righteous rant. I was simply making a smart arse comment, as a come back to psylo’s smart arse comments.

Sounds exactly the same... Everyone was fucking everyone. Most of them were married and had kids. And yes, because of their charitable nature, they employed a lot of people who would otherwise be unemployable.. Base urges proliferated.. I remember one woman who was openly fucking at least 3 workers I know of, while her husband worked the same shift. All good, god fearing lambs. There was one instance that alarmed me. It involved a senior member sexting a young (and at the time barely legal) girl, who was a second generation worker.. This older guy held her when she was born.. This girl was damaged goods. Mother murdered while young, brought up within the church.. All the time sought acceptance,and when she started blossoming, realised men started to look at her differently.. Poor girl, not a chance... So this guy would tell her he was jacking off to the thought of her, and how his fat wife refused to suck his cock, and wished that this girl would alleviate his suffering.. Same girl had a female senior member tell her that a pearl necklace was one of the greatest gifts you can give a man..There was more and worse..

It was a weird culture, everyone knew who was having affairs, but all turned a blind eye and justified it to themselves in a way only Christians can..

One particular character was open about his attraction to shemales. Little guy, all of three teeth in his head. (Before negative opinions are formed, this guy was a good friend, and would give anyone the shirt off his back,) hung like a donkey, he had no problem showing people pics of his package... He had the most impressive collection of porn I have ever seen.. Walls of it..

I used to hook him up occasionally, and I remember once going to his place where he showed me the end product of his latest liaison, a mirror hung on the wall covered in dried semen.. I had to giggle when he says, "now that's art!".. This guy was out there sexually, and being no stranger to the world of weird sex, I used to talk with him about all sorts of things.. I asked him when was the first time he realised he had urges that we're a little 'different'.. He said " oh when I was about 10 and fucked my first poddy calf"

I had to laugh.... His FIRST poddy calf....

I could go on... But in all seriousness, they cared so much about the product... There was one instance where they discovered a possible contamination, not actual, but possible. They shut down the suspected area at great cost.. Spent ungodly amounts of money just to be sure the possibility was eliminated... Most companies would wait until there was a problem, then fix it...

Sanitarium care about the people who ate their product.. I was always impressed by that fact..

And it's true about the tax exemption status... Sanitarium have never borrowed money from a bank either..

All the weird shit aside, they are a good company...

Well, I would give my children weet-bix without a second thought..

[Psylo]

Geeze, I might expect promiscuity from LDS/Mormons, but I thought the 7DA's were ultra conservative. I have heard elsewhere though that they take their food production seriously. I even think that some of Dick Smith's lines are/were made there.

Did they impose any theology onto you ? I was trying to get into a NFP org last month, and was told that I would be expected to 'conduct myself' in line with the org's principles. Needless to say I told them to go to hell.
