This is at Ambury Farm Regional Park and sometimes I see quite a few on bikes.
Teaches children to ride bikes young. They also get to see farm animals in the city of Auckland. They have sheep shearing days, and times where people can watch cows being milked.
New Zealand has a high obesity rate, and with the take away food, it is usually loaded with fattening ingredients and children today are getting diabetes type 2.
The people who are wealthier are generally slimmer and fitter like these 2. The ones that have a low income are fatter. It is life. Cheap food is fattening… Those on low incomes don’t exercise and don’t go to gyms…
This farm gets people outdoors and having a look at nature at least. A visit is also free….for anyone.
Adore such photos with precious moments of family life, they are so expressive!!!
Yes, I think so, the child is blessed to have such a caring Dad
Whatever is cheap and low quality is indeed to be sold to the common people. So?
Yes, that’s right……..Thanks Albert
It’s sad to know that there are some people in the world intend to reduce the human population on earth in various ways without mercy.
Yes, some think what is one more? Yet, I am human too and what affects the least of us also affects us all.
You are right, and that is the awareness of someone who has and understands his/her humanity. Unfortunately, not everyone has and is aware of it.
The problem is precisely that poorer people can not afford healthy eating and gymnastics. It is also in our country.
That is the truth Vidocka, and the gap between rich and poor in NZ is becoming wider. However, there are some things that can be done .
In a way both rich and poor are poorer if they don’t help each other.
You captured a very nice moment Pam.
Thanks so much Carol………
I have thinking about starting to ride my bike if I can put a new tire on it lol. Riding bikes should help a body become more healthy.
I think it is a good idea, I should do that.
Sounds like a great teaching farm. We have a few of those around here in the East part of our county. Back to basics, farm to mouth type teachings. I think we need more of them in the world. T
Thanks so much Kim, it is a teaching farm…
The fast food epidemic hit the US 15 years ago as well. Sadly, propagated by many US-based companies.
(McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken).
I gave up fast food 8 years ago. It has made all the difference for me!
Love the picture!!!
Yes, fast food is a killer…….
It really is. I know, growing up, it was easier to just swing through Wendy’s than it was to go home, cook and then sit down for food.
I was really bad in my college days.
Live and learn!
Due to health concerns, I have to limit eating. Playing Home Run Derby on the Nintendo Wii gives me a great workout.
Yes, I guess that will do…….I wouldn’t mind riding a bike here.
I would like to have some exercise equipment like a stationary bike myself.
There are many obese people here too … I do not go to any fast food because here in my opinion is the most unhealthy diet, dear friend
Well, you don’t have much choice when you cant afford anything else…and I agree with you
Thanks Lado for your kind comments
With great pleasure, my dear friend
Yes, I think he is a very cool Dad too….Thanks Tasartcraft
He’s a very cool dad, nice way to exercise. I remember my father when I was still young he would take me to school where he teaches just like this way riding a bike.
Yes Inchay, I agree with you. I think he is a cool Dad too. Thanks.
Is thisit is your son in the picture ?
No I don’t know those people, they just ride through the park but thanks Witty Feeds
Never looked at it this way, cheap food is fattening.. but I guess it is true.
Well, a lot of people don’t know how to cook good nutritional meals and go out to fast food takeaways in New Zealand.
Our takeaways are mainly fattening. The healthiest are Subway, but they use a lot of bread. Then also Pitta pit they are expensive but good nutritionally.
We sometimes go to Mac Donalds, its not good but better than Wendys or KFC. Other than that Pizza Hut is OK..
We only eat a snack, where as some go for their entire meal, poor nutritional value and high in unhealthy fats..It is cheap.
Some know it is unhealthy,
When you consider poor people cant go to the gym, or on nice outings because it costs the earth and cant buy nice clothing, they turn to the cheap food they can afford..
I will not be surprised that after a two or three this kid will have his own bike.
Yes, I can see his Dad is well off and he certainly will have his own bike, where as some in NZ particularly South Auckland their parents cant buy them shoes to go to school in,
it is very practical to have our own bikes.
We really need to devote time to exercise in order to achieve a healthier body.
Totally agree with you. I believe in that too. I will try to go to the gym and learn to swim now my cast is off my arm.
It is hard when you get older to get weight down and keep fit…
