Kiwi media is full of ’em. Social engineering has become so pervasive in this country that most people are unaware of it.
‘No-one needs a large coffee’
SUSIE BURRELL
If you walk down the streets of Paris on any weekday morning, you will see sleek Parisians clutching a briefcase or designer handbag and perhaps the newspaper.
If you walk down any city street in New Zealand or Australia, you will see hundreds of people clutching a takeaway coffee cup. Now inside those containers there could be a trim flat white; chai latte or even a soy mocha, but what I see is calories, extra liquid calories that few of us need…’
What I see is somebody who needs to get a life and get a real job. And mind her own fucking business.
As for the title of the piece: ‘No-one needs a large coffee’, perhaps Susie Burrell has experience in getting up to a bitterly cold dawn to round up cattle or lay a longline or repair a power line or water pump, when a mug or three of steaming hot coffee goes a long way towards making things just a little more bearable?
Thought not.
Nannying do-gooders infuriate me.
Best emoticon…Ever.
This dumb tart needs a large “fuckcoffee.”
Indeed she does.
“Now inside those containers there could be a trim flat white; chai latte or even a soy mocha”
Or even ordinary black coffee with 3 sugars…..
Right now it’s 8am and I’m on my fourth black/3 coffee. And it’ll be at least eight or nine before the day is over. (We won’t mention the cigarettes right now, Susie might have a heart attack)
I am undergoing a coronary episode just from reading the details of your coffee intake!
my large -self brewed-‘cup’ in the morning and then my 2 shots of espresso in the afternoon- are a necessity for my well being-
as to the female’s take on the french–well- hmmmm- I need not comment further!
C-CS
I’m a coffee drinker BIG TIME.
I was well trained in the art coffee drinking by many a late night watch in the U.S. Army…I learned to never wash my coffee cup at Operations, because sometime the House Mouse forgot to ask the Mess Hall for coffee, so he would brew up hot water in the institutional size coffee maker that was (you guess it
) never washed.
So between the unwashed coffee maker and the unwashed coffee cup you would get a cup of “Mucky” that so strong that a drunk coming in for a Mid Watch could be made sober after only one cup.
In retirement I live in Seattle, which has a coffee house on every corner. Did you know the Starbucks chain started here
Tis true. The first Starbucks store in the world is less than six blocks from where I live. No, they don’t give a veterans’ discount 
Pity 
Watch me make Susie Burrell, everyone like her, and ten-billion pages of health guides obsolete in less than ten seconds.
Wait for it…
Fatties who want to be less fat, consume less and move more. Everyone else, proceed as usual.
There. I just saved a forest worth of self-help books.
Now, where’s my environmentalist of the year award?
I don’t order my coffee with sugar in it,I shake some excess off the Donuts
I bet she would freak if she knew about Cafe Du Monde-

I think we need to make more of who these people are writing these stories- subject them to some personally directed criticism.
Too right we do.
