13 Surprising things that REALLY happen in New Zealand | that american in new zealand 

😯

Yes pine plantation are generally replanted, and in parts of the country native bush was cleared to plant the stinking things, also as rabbit control and because of soil deficiency making the land, in the past, unusable for livestock. Look up bush sickness.

Exactly.. maybe we should be like usa and cut down their native forests??

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say! Yep, they definitely get moved regularly and come into a proper shelter at the end of the day

Yes that was a very good aussie accent.

Indeed My mate Makes a delicious Indian (Punjabi) goat curry Straight up Hearty azz😁

Hate the sweetness of nz food like that and watties is the worst! Cut the freakin sugar!

Yesss

100%

I HATE New Zealand's sweet stuff. It's so horrible and horrifying. You can't even get decent mineral water that has it's sugar cut. I have to do it myself and cut it if I want it.

@@Mcfreddo Absolutely, its slowly changing with soft drinks offering lower sugar, and sugar free options. Back in the day (and now with full sugar option) soft drinks like Coke and Fanta had something like 40+gram of sugar per 375ml. To equate that, that is like having 12 teaspoons of sugar in a large mug of coffee. Adults are supposed to not exceed 12 grams of sugar per Day - that is 3 times the daily in one drink. Regardless of how gross that is... how can anyone tell the difference between even 6tsps and 8tsps in that quantity. So why is there 12tsps of sugar in that mug in a commercial product. What purpose is it there for? When it is known to be very damaging to peoples health when over consumed. Is it's addictive qualities? Again you cannot tell the different between half that sugar and that much sugar in the liquid and governments literally dont care here in New Zealand about this, they give little speeches and encouragement... while taking all the GST and profit tax off those companies. And GST and profit off dental clinics on adults. If I remember right, Thailand's version of Coke is about 12% of the same sugar content by law. I cannot believe governments do not understand that if they reduce the consumption and therefore profits they get off these very damaging products, the tax dept will still get that money from somewhere else. People will still spend on other items, so why continue to let the health of Kiwi's deteriorate with diabetes and shocking dental outcomes. Sorry in a rant mood haha.

@@paulprice1705 Well they won't do a sugar tax or have a simple traffic light system. I have to say the reduced sugar is replaced by either an alcoholic sugar (still has calories, but much better) or an artificial one. They are still sickly. I would have a sweetness tax. Yes! They bang on about personal responsibility when it's a communal thing. Those companies have a responsibility. Frighten them with class action litigation if that were possible and they would also change their tune! Far better to legislate a standard and a 'taxometer' system for health.
