The Tuesday Wire Hosted By Kim Choe 18th September 2007


12:00 bFM News, Weather and Surf

12:40 Notes from the Censor
It's been a while since we last checked in with Chief Censor Bill Hastings. Today, he will discuss the controversial censoring of Hostel 2, and give us a rundown of some of the most entertaining porn titles that have crossed his desk in recent months.

1:00 Murder, Chocolatey Murder
Murder By Chocolate begins its Auckland season this Friday – Kim will be joined in studio by one of its writers Alex Ellis, who also plays protagonist Felicia Fargo.

1:20 Made in… ?
It's been revealed this morning that the government has been lobbying the US' Department of Agriculture not to introduce mandatory country of origin labeling over there. Green MP Sue Kedgley says the government is putting the meat industry above consumer rights, and will join Kim to talk about the issue.

1:40 The Green Desk
Simon Miller will be talking to Timothy Morris (of Coriolis Research) who has done extensive research into the NZ food industry, about Industrial Food vs. Industrial Trees. 58% of the NZ landmass is given over to Farming/ Forestry. NZ's economy is likely to be propped up and/or driven in the medium to long term by food and primary industry production. That's a lot of cow farts (methane) and cow poo and fertilizers (in the rivers etc). Tree monocultures (effectively Pine forests) are not too hot either, with the leeching of aluminum and nitrates into the soil. Is there a sustainable way forward? We'll try and find out.

Aucklanders can tune in at 95 on the FM dial.
