Spinach. The superfood. The leafy green that built a sailor. The bag of pre-washed leaves in your fridge you paid £2.50 for because the packet said “powerhouse of nutrition” and showed a cartoon arm with a cartoon bicep on the back.
Let’s have a look at what’s actually in there.
Spinach is famously high in iron. The iron in spinach is non-heme iron, which the human body absorbs at a rate of around 1.7%, compared to the 15-35% absorption rate for heme iron from a piece of beef. The number on the nutrition label is the iron that went into the leaf. The number that reaches your bloodstream is a fraction so small it would embarrass a calculator.
Spinach is also famously high in calcium. The calcium in spinach is bound to oxalates, which are the plant’s natural pesticide, evolved to discourage things like you from eating it. A half-cup of cooked spinach contains roughly 755mg of oxalate, one of the highest concentrations in any food humans consume. The oxalates lock onto the calcium in the leaf and most of the other calcium in your meal, dragging it out of your digestive tract bound up in indigestible crystals. The calcium you absorb from spinach is around 5%. The calcium you absorb from a glass of full-fat milk is around 30%.
The oxalates also bind to iron. So the iron that was already barely absorbable is made even less so by the spinach’s own chemistry. The plant is, in a meaningful sense, fighting your stomach.
The oxalates not bound up by minerals are excreted through your kidneys, where they form sharp crystals of calcium oxalate. These are kidney stones. Calcium oxalate stones account for around 80% of all kidney stones, and spinach is one of the foods most consistently recommended for elimination in patients prone to them. A juice cleanse featuring two cups of spinach a day has, in the medical literature, put a woman into acute kidney failure.
The Popeye cartoon was based on a clerical error from 1870 that overstated spinach’s iron content by a factor of ten. The error was corrected in 1937. The cartoon was not.
You have been eating a leaf that fights its own nutrition, costs your kidneys, and built its entire reputation on a decimal point that wasn’t actually there.
Eat the steak. The iron in it is real, and it doesn’t come with the legal disclaimer.
Plants have really powerful defence chemicals. The best way to eat plants is after a ruminant animal has processed it, removed the toxins and turned it into highly nutritious food that’s presented in the exact form for human thriving.
Is it the same for silverbeet?
Always hated the taste of silverbeet. I was brought up to eat what was served to us. My dear old mum would alway threaten “eat it you’ll get more”. 😦
Another goody was “eat ya dinner, there are millions starving in Bangladesh, they would love to eat that”!! ” Me 9-year-old..”Well, send it to them then.” Whack!! “Cheeky little bastard”. No sense of humour, the ole man.
My old man didn’t like mum’s favourite green either, but mum was the boss when it came to food and another of her repeated statements, “waste not want not”
And cabbage. At school I was made to sit the whole dinner hour because I refused to eat the revolting, cold, green slop they served up as cabbage.
Alice
Also Broad Beans! I always disliked them and as a child as made to eat them ‘or else’ (even in their cooked but cold state), and under threat of severe physical punishment if I didn’t comply!!
Such was my dislike that sometimes the punishment was even worth the ‘crime’.
Although such events occurred many, many years ago, the effects certainly lingered and even now for some strange reason I still cannot stomach Broad Beans in any form – hot or cold, and certainly NEVER insisted that my own children ate them.
Now you’d probably order yourself a delivered pizza.
Q. Why did the spinach blush?
A. It saw the salad dressing.
Whhaaat?
The top clip is inaccurate, the jury did not agree. Most likely a couple or more of muzzles voting not guilty all because the ummah thing or some of the jurist were got pressured by muslims. Two tier justice
Sorry, down tick by mistake. Meant to press reply …… Isn’t stalemate same as did not agree???? Actually I know nothing bout this case at all, must have bypassed be somehow.
Correct. No verdict was reached. I also heard that three non British were on the jury. Not confirmed though.
True but the point is still well made. And to show the true composition of the jury and even perhaps the judge would be RACIST!
AI is evil, then you see someone go and do things like this and all is redeemed.

Activist: “Your cow looks depressed.”
Farmer: “She’s chewing.”
Activist: “Her eyes look sad.”
Farmer: “Cow eyes don’t have eyebrows. The droop is structural. The sadness is in your head.”
Activist: “She’s not interacting with the others.”
Farmer: “She’s twelve feet from her best friend of nine years. They take turns lying down. The one standing is on lookout. You arrived during her shift.”
Activist: “She didn’t run when I approached.”
Farmer: “Running is for predators. You are a person with a notebook. She has classified you correctly.”
Activist: “She just seems so resigned.”
Farmer: “She is digesting. Resignation requires a sense of unfulfilled ambition. The cow’s ambition this afternoon was to eat that bit of grass. She has done it. She is having, by every measure available to her, a triumphant Tuesday.”
Activist: “But I can feel it.”
Farmer: “You can feel what’s in your own head. The cow isn’t there. The cow is here, on her side, full of grass. Project somewhere else.”

he listens… but just dosent give a fuck and thinks he and his rich donors knows whats best for us
BREAKING update from POTUS on IRAN: “I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE. An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
also the orange retard when talking about why he isnt attending his sons 2nd wedding… “hes a guy ive known a long time”
yup, mega intellect at play there. just yesterday some retard here was predicting big bombs falling on iran.
as i said the bomb threats are all TACO moves to enrich his dodgy mates and family.
if this deal goes through it just goes to show trump blinked and lost, he essentially just stopped a war he got conned into starting because it dosent involve any nuclear agreement and pretty much everything remains as it was just prior to the war except maybe with tolls.
plus its only a 60day ceasefire not actually a permanent peace deal. it buys trump time but nothing more and my money is on israel pushing or breaching the boundaries to make iran close the straight again so the jews can point and go “look, they breached the deal, bomb them!!!”
100% the jews are gunna keep the conflict going, they havent yet stolen enough land in lebanon and if theres no war netenyahu goes to prison… there will never be peace in the middle east until that piece of shit is dead or locked up
I think the Strait is open, the fighting has stopped….I bought 4 doz oysters, $104 …didn’t you say something about paying for them.
if the straight is open then why is trump still working on a deal to reopen it? hes desperate, thats why hes willing to sign a deal excluding nukes, its only a 60day ceasefire not an actual end to the war, its just long enough to scramble to build a buffer because american reserves are forecast to run dry in a few months and america along with the rest of the world will feel a true oil shock.
you best have left a couple dozen for me! my luck the last of them will be sold just before i get there!
You won’t need no oysters, mate!
You will be pole outing!
2 doz last night along with the B.I.L. 2 doz – only 2 doz to go ………and you are out of luck, last boats were Friday.
If he can stitch it to gether, he should be made World President!
sootz, you do realise trump wouldnt be desperate for a ceasefire deal or reopening the straight if the moron didnt bomb the fuck outve them right?
to put it in a very simple way that ysb folk can understand thats like praising jacinda for getting us outve lockdown.
not even equivilant
youre a low iq dumb fuck that still dosent understand.
I live in your head every day.
not even old boy, you fucking wish you were that important.
you rank lower than dog shit on a shoe 🙂
Hope so Sooty, would be good to get back to normal again.
what do ysb folk consider to be “normal” now?
keen to hear, i bet none will ever eventuate tho.
Chris Hipkins, the new normal!
normal? seriously mate does anyone really know or remember what normal is.
in my lifetime things havent been “normal” globally since sept 11. domestically since gfc. although one could say the later period of key govt was relatively stable and could be called mostly normal but really the financial boil was forming and starting to fester, they just hid it and pretended it didnt matter.
I thought normal for you was a sticky old Playboy magazine.
nope, we have smartphones now with much better porn content than a crappy and very tame magazine.
can no one on ysb define what normal life actually is?
normal will never return, there will always be something cuz the powers that be have worked out chaos and stress is the best way to break down the population and control the sheep while quietly expanding their powers… for our safety and benefit of course/////
a new global health emergency, global recession/depression (caused by trump) or some other bullshit is just on the horizon to further kick.us in the balls.
Normal has never been.
Normal lasts a fleeting space in time.
Tomorrow, there is a new normal.
Your normal is no ones elses normal.
That’s life.
Get used to it.

A well written letter, explaining the imposition of tikanga into the NZ judicial system.
…… There is no statutory or prerogative authority permitting courts to elevate tikanga to the status of law.
Accordingly, such judicial actions are ultra vires — beyond jurisdiction, beyond power, and beyond constitutional limits. ……
…… Judicial immunity protects individual judges from personal liability for decisions made in their judicial capacity.
However, this does not mean that ultra vires judicial conduct is without consequence. …….
https://breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2026/05/hugh-perrett-tikanga-is-not-law-is-not.html?m=1
So the elite Judges use their “immunity” to follow an agenda, to then lever precedence.
But it shows they follow a He Puapua agenda which in the long run should totally discredit themselves.

21 May – New Zealand Day. The day we ended slavery, cannibalism, intertribal warfare and a number of other unsavoury things, as we entered Pax Britannica. Sounds like something to celebrate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVXaZ_4eFO0
Brilliant commentary by the excellent “Anglo Saxon”.
He must be one of those ‘racist, white supremacists’ // 🙄
The UNDRIP agreement has been made binding by quietly following the Ardern-Peters, He Puapua agenda.
That has been set deep into the the NZ Law society & Judiciary system.
……… guidance for lawyers on the relevance of tikanga Māori and tikanga based legal developments in meeting their competence and client service obligations …..
…… require tikanga to be taught as a stand-alone compulsory subject within New Zealand Law Schools. …..
https://www.lawsociety.org.nz/assets/Professional-practice-docs/Practice-briefings/Practice-Briefing-tikanga-Maori-2025.pdf
These law schools are creating a “new-normal” but is it actually legal?
But will this CoGovenance Tri-Coalition do anything about this?
As the cement of “precedence” is now hardening to lock this deviousness into place.
All at different phases in pushing agendas, like transgenderism, Net Zero Carbon, Climate Change costs, white privileged colonialist, DEI (Diversity Equity Inclusion) & the target keeps “moving on”, as the issues is really, the revolution to gain more power, controls;- must continue! ! !
Judicial socialist radicals committing treason against established NZ sovereignty by replacing “one law for all” to an apartheid system must be held accountable.
Wayward ‘liberal’ judges or lawyers not working within the boundaries of NZ law need to be removed. Judgement of judicial behaviour by the Law Society only works if fellow sympathetic ‘liberals’ of this body are also removed.
Socialist radical politicians pushing replacing laws that may result in jeopardising NZ “one law for all” need to have that ability quashed.
It is all rotten to the core.
…… There is no statutory or prerogative authority permitting courts to elevate tikanga to the status of law.
Given that before colonists arrived, “tikanga” included revenge, taking justified “action” for someone insulting one’s whanau, stealing, abduction, slavery, killing and beheading. Maori tikanga, was like the Wild West. Except the Wild West did not condone beheadings.
Tikanga justice included retribution for another tribe taking something of value from your tribe, even though you stole it from them 6 months earlier. The term “Possession is 9/10 of the law” ‘applied’ here in NZ. As far as Maori tribal law was concerned, what you possessed was yours, no matter if you traded for it, stole it, borrowed and kept it, it was yours. Stone age Klingons.
The writings of Frederick Maning, NZ’s first Maori land court judge is an eye opener for anyone. And it makes “Once Were Warriors” look like a school yard skirmish by comparison, in terms of injustice by civilised standards.
We may believe that DylanHunt
….. There is no statutory or prerogative authority permitting courts to elevate tikanga to the status of law.
But usurpers have conspired through the Supreme Court, deviously done by politicaly appointments.
So they are now well on a pathway to be a “Constitutional Court” as well as their other duties.
Then by astro-turfing through Law Societies, & then via academia, amplified by media for the general public as it flows into educational systems.
This is also to back-up the indoctrination from play-school, primary, & highschool, & even like the requirements in the various poly-techs for nurses, universities like for chemists etc..
So it is deep with in political parties, to abide with these divisive “constitutional” agendas, & the further obligations.
Sort of like every one “Believes in Free Speech” but very few will “Defend Free Speech”?
Very few will challenge this smart-arse devious agendas.

Notice that the police do not appear to be English either. Well and truly conquered.
They say history repeats. Seen the cost of meat these days?
The Black Death arrived in England in 1348. Within two years, somewhere between a third and a half of the population was dead.
The peasants who survived noticed something within a generation.
There was nobody left to work the fields. The labour shortage was so severe that landlords, for the first time in English history, had to bid for workers. The peasants, suddenly possessed of leverage, demanded payment partly in meat. Beef, mutton, and bacon began appearing in the manorial accounts of agricultural labourers’ wages.
Skeletal records from English burials in the late 1300s and 1400s, set against pre-plague remains, show measurable increases in average adult height. Bone density improves. Dental health improves. Iron-deficiency markers decline.
The peasants got taller. The peasants got stronger. The peasants started causing political problems on a scale they had previously been too undernourished to attempt.
In 1351 Parliament passed the Statute of Labourers, attempting to cap wages back at pre-plague levels. The peasants noticed. In 1381, well-fed, the same peasants marched on London in the largest popular uprising in medieval English history.
The nobility, in the centuries that followed, expanded the Forest Laws. Killing a deer in a royal forest was a capital offence. The Game Laws of the 1600s and 1700s extended the principle. Meat available to the peasant shrank back toward what it had been before the plague.
By 1850, the average British army recruit from the industrial slums was so short and so undernourished that the height minimum for enlistment had to be lowered repeatedly to keep the regiments staffed.
The single greatest improvement in working-class height and health in English history was caused by a plague that made meat affordable for two generations.
The single greatest decline was caused, in significant part, by a political decision to make it expensive again.
You can see the whole sequence in the skeletons.
The skeletons are in the museums. Go and look.
A guy decides to sneak out of work early and treat himself to a “quick drink.”
One quick drink turns into an all-night session, and he ends up stumbling out of the bar at closing time, absolutely hammered.
When he gets home, he is determined not to wake his family.
He quietly opens the door, slips off his shoes, and starts creeping up the stairs.
About halfway up, he loses his balance, tumbles backwards, and lands hard on his backside.
Normally, that would just bruise his ego, but tonight he has a couple of empty beer bottles in his back pockets.
They shatter, and the broken glass slices up his rear end.
He is so drunk he barely notices.
Later, while undressing in the bedroom, he spots blood on his underwear. Confused, he turns around to inspect the damage in the mirror and sees that his backside is a disaster.
So he grabs the first-aid kit and, squinting into the mirror, carefully starts sticking band-aids everywhere he sees a cut.
Satisfied with his “surgery,” he crawls into bed and passes out.
The next morning, he wakes up with a pounding headache and a burning butt, trying to invent a believable excuse, when his wife walks in.
“You were wasted last night,” she says.
“No, no,” he replies.
“I just worked late, then had a couple of beers on the way home.”
She snorts.
“A couple of beers? Please. You were obliterated. Where did you really go?”
“What makes you think I was that drunk?” he asks.
She folds her arms and says, “For starters, I found half a box of Band-Aids carefully stuck all over the bathroom mirror.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f60f.svg

So what is going to change?
“The divide is no longer between left & right,
But between Patriots & Globalists.” —- Marine Le Pen.
“Just what is the ACT party?”
They’re not too sure. Policy can sit anywhere on the scale from Libertarian to Statism depending on how the chicken entrails read & the leader’s schizophrenia medication.
Yet they are not alone. Both the National& Labour parties have existential crises. The Greens are psychotic, NZ First gain their inspiration from reef fish & the TPM are barking mad.
In truth all I need to ask before I cast my vote is ‘do I want fucking by the globalists, the socialists, or the Maori?’
“NZ First gain their inspiration from reef fish”
Please explain.
Don’t worry, we don’t need to know. Queer is enough!
I made the comment in the sense David Lange used the phrase “demented reef fish” to describe panicky sharemarket investors. The mercurial founder & sole proprietor of NZ First is always on the lookout for a cause to pin a policy to. A classic example was his backing for Pfizer’s depopulator during the Covid scam which somehow morphed into support for those who would not follow Mad Queen’s mandates.
I’m not particularly for or against Winston Peters but as a political tragic of long standing I’m still in awe of his ability to sense an uncommitted vote & create policy on the hoof to capture it regardless of previous positions he has held.
Ditto for his supporters/voters who follow him unquestioningly.
I think their trajectory is a lot straighter these days.
Thanks for the explanation. Don’t recall that quote.
problem is the people are to dumb to realise that the best way to stop getting fucked over is to fuck them back even harder.
fuck them back even harder.

A statutory exception that became the default
Discharge without conviction: A remedy that has lost its limits – David Harvey
The discharge without conviction was conceived as an act of judicial restraint.
Where the lifelong consequences of a criminal record would impose punishment far exceeding the gravity of the offending, courts were given a mechanism to withhold conviction while still marking wrongdoing.
In its proper sphere – minor, victimless offending by otherwise law-abiding individuals – that justification remains coherent.
The problem is that the remedy no longer operates in that sphere.
Through structural design, expansive case law and increasingly elastic judicial reasoning, the discharge without conviction has travelled well beyond its original purpose.
In doing so, it has begun to undermine foundational principles of sentencing: proportionality, accountability and equal justice.
The Sentencing Act 2002, which provides for discharges without conviction, was introduced by the then Minister of Justice Phil Goff with the stated aim of toughening New Zealand’s approach to crime. We shall see how that worked out.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/discharge-without-conviction-a-remedy-that-has-lost-its-limits-david-harvey/premium/MAGTBRTRBBAFDN2OQVAJJGAFIU/
.
The legal architecture of the discharge explains much of its expansion.
Section 106 of the Sentencing Act authorises the court to discharge an offender without conviction, while section 11 requires judges to consider discharge before entering any conviction.
What once might have been an exceptional pathway has instead become a mandatory gateway.
Defence counsel now pursue discharge as routinely in cases involving a guilty plea.
Fool goof, strikes again!

I would have thought, “Give the prick a sausage.” More appropriate!
You’re onto it
There is a lot of noise surrounding the potential US/Iran deal.
Here’s what the rumors are so far:
– Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Iran currently has 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. Enough for 11 nuclear bombs.
– The US would begin a phased unfreezing of Iran’s $6b to $30b in cash.
– The Strait of Hormuz will open up.
– Iran won’t charge a penny for ships to pass through. No $2m toll fee.
– The US agrees to relieve some of the sanctions.
– War ENDS on all fronts with Lebanon.
– US forces near Iran to withdraw.
– 30 to 60 days to finalize the nuclear deal.
If true, that’s a massive victory for the President.
Here are the winners and losers.
Winners:
1. American people. Oil prices will likely fall. Shipping insurance costs drop. Inflation pressure eases.
2. The President
3. Global markets.
4. Stock market.
5. Gulf states. Temporary tension eliminated. I have them as both winners and losers.
6. IRGC gains legitimacy. They’re not Venezuela. Whether anyone likes it or not. Including myself.
7. China is a major winner. The Strait of Hormuz hurt them the most. They can spin this to their people that the deal got done after the President left China.
8. Russia relies on Iran being a bit more stable.
9. NATO nations were starting to worry. They were pansies shivering about having to help the US. (They’re also big losers in my eyes)
Losers:
1. Iranian people. No one knows what the IRGC will do after this deal to their own people. Their media outlets will say they beat America. That message will 100% be pushed. The Iranian people will be under even more scrutiny by the IRGC.
2. Obama’s administration. This sounds like a much stronger deal than Obama’s administration made.
3. Netanyahu. He wanted regime change or collapse for his legacy, but Trump wasn’t on the same page at the end.
4. NATO was exposed. They showed they don’t have America’s back if shit were to hit the fan. Terrible moment for them.
5. Reza Pahlavi. Another year of not being able to help his people become free. This point will lead to more memes by the RP loyalists but it’s the truth.
6. Gulf states. The IRGC still controls a neighbor capable of firing rockets at surrounding Gulf nations.
7. Iranian proxies and non state actors. Hezbollah, Houthis, and Shia militias will not receive the same funding flow if sanctions are removed under limitations tied to the agreement.
8. Defense contractors and war hawks. They wanted this thing to continue so they could land massive contracts. I’m sure they’re not happy.
9. Oil producers benefiting from high prices.
10. Political extremists on both sides. Those who wanted to see the President lose (woke right) and those pushing for nuclear war.
11. Democrats. They desperately needed this to continue heading into the midterms. They will HATE this deal. Don’t worry, they’ll still find a way to blame Trump. But independents won’t fall for the BS. Democrats and the woke right will follow suit, but not reasonable independents who can see through the nonsense.
I predicted this would be done before June 14th. Lots of people pushed back. Obviously, it’s not done yet, and anything can happen, especially when dealing with Iran, but if the President pulls this off, the news outlets, pundits, and influencers will move on to the next issue after they’re done crying nonstop.
The greatest 60 days of positive distractions are around the corner.
President Trump’s birthday: June 14th
US 250 year anniversary: July 4th
World Cup: June 11th to July 19th
The world will move on, and the President can focus on driving results toward the midterms, Cuba, affordability and other issues.
Love him or hate him, he continues to show how fluid his mind is and that he can change his approach depending on whether things do or don’t go his way.
Future Looks Bright.
PBD on X
just more bullshit from randos on x pretending to have the inside gossip.
I know just like all the media interpretations where I have found major speculation errors.
Any way a random “US Official” to Axios which also speculates, & summarizes the concept into bullet points.
….. The deal would avoid an escalation of the war and decrease the pressure on the global oil supply.
However, it’s unclear whether it will lead to a lasting peace agreement that also addresses President Trump’s nuclear demands. …..
….. key principle in the agreement is “relief for performance.” ….
…. Iran gave the U.S. through the mediators verbal commitments about the scope of the concessions it’s willing to make on suspending enrichment and giving up the nuclear material. …..
