Healthy Eating by Nanny Rahui

According to Nanny Rahui the following foods should be GST free because they are “healthy”.

• Fruit and vegetables (including fresh, frozen, canned and dried):
• Breads and cereals (including all bread, grains, rice and pasta):
• Milk and milk products (including cheese, yoghurt and plain milk, but excluding ice cream, cream products, condensed and flavoured milk):
• Lean meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds and legumes

Soooooooooooo…..Lucky for KFC, almost all of their food is “healthy” and thus would be GST free. According to the American KFC site (NZ’s doesn’t have a full list of ingredients) their original chicken recipe is Fresh Chicken (no GST) Marinated With: Salt (GST), Sodium Phosphate (GST) and Monosodium Glutamate (GST).  Breaded With: Wheat Flour (no GST), Salt (no GST) and Anti-caking agent (GST), Nonfat Milk (no GST), Egg Whites (no GST), Colonel’s Secret Original Recipe Seasoning (probably a mixture because it contains herbs (no GST) and spices (GST).  Contains Egg (no GST), Milk (no GST), and Wheat (no GST).

So the Original Recipe KFC is largely GST free except in minute quantities in the seasoning. That makes the Double Down an almost GST free, healthy, hunger buster for starving Maori. The only thing in it that would attract GST is the bacon and they could avoid that if they made it with “lean” bacon.

I can see KFC’s marketing now – “Double Down – Nothing but Healthy Food”, “KFC – The choooice for healthy Maori”
