100% Pure my foot...

A Massey University freshwater ecologist has come under fire for criticising New Zealand's "100% Pure" marketing slogan.

When I was a kid, you could drink from almost any of the rivers in New Zealand, especially around my home town. Now, I wouldn't dare do that. Thanks to over-intensive dairy farming, the majority of New Zealand rivers are polluted. Dr Mike Joy's criticism is well-founded in fact, not marketing spin.

Some have called Mike Joy's public criticism "economic treason". How odd that they don't say the same thing about the government's asset-sale plans...
