In announcing changes to the school lunches programme, David Seymour said kids would no longer be served ‘woke’ foods. To clear up any confusion, The Spinoff has compiled a guide to the wokeness levels of some common food items.

This is never not appropriate with stories like this.
Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website
Except that it isn’t.
The Spinoff is a New Zealand online magazine and news website that was founded in 2014. It is known for current affairs coverage, political and social analysis, and cultural commentary.

Founded in 2014, The Spinoff has grown to become Aotearoa’s most innovative independent media organisation with a focus on vibrant, modern coverage of current affairs and pop culture.
Known as ‘the mid-shelf red wine of New Zealand journalism’, The Spinoff focuses on stories and issues that affect everyday New Zealanders across our core sections of pop culture, politics, Ātea, books and kai.
Ambitious, curious and always seeking multiple perspectives, we’ve built a trophy cabinet of prestigious journalistic awards, and continue to attract the country’s top creative talent.
Regardless, the article itself is satirical.
Only a little:
I was thinking the whole time going through the list that it was satire but then I looked up the website and it appears to be a serious website. They can’t actually be serious though right ???
Jesus, they’re really going to change the name to Aotearoa aren’t they. Very silly.
Why is that silly?
You’re silly too. You’re a silly sausage.
Nope, David Seymour really is that stupid.
Seymour’s idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.
A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value
Why is there WOKE coming out of your oven, Seymour?
Curry is woke! Finally someone said it!
… it’s because it’s foreign and makes my mouth feel burning. I don’t like it. I’m glad someone is finally standing up to this woke nonsense invading our culture!
…holy shit, I was pretending but are these guys just afraid of being colonized? It’s like a projection of a fear of being on the other side of the historical fence, a subconscious history they can’t acknowledge so it comes out as a fear of foriegn things they don’t understand being in control of their “new world”
Yeah fuck curry! I want real American food, like pizza, or tacos!
Yes! Or that stuff from 80s movies… That they had at the end of long business meetings: Chinese take out!
So much better than foriegn foods like German Hamburgers or French fries.
Nah: Real American food like freedom fries!
I just can’t with the dumb anymore. I’m surprised they don’t call bananas woke, cause ya know phallic and that gay
Surely that spaghetti-topped pizza isn’t real, that’s got to be from one of those ragebait tiktoks or something right? That looks and sounds awful.
That’s a reference to a previous NZ prime ministers recipe: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/06/tinned-spaghetti-pizza-new-zealands-prime-minister-shocks-with-monstrous-recipe
😂
It’s actually really good. Not that one in Particular, put Pizza with Tomatoes sauce, spaghetti and cheese is actually great.
I like my bread with more bread on it.
I mean, baguette pizza is also just bread on bread, and we all love that
First I’ve heard of baguette pizza but now I must try it. I’ve had pizza on a baguette before but never baguette on pizza.
You’ve never placed three baguettes on top of a pizza? We’ve all done that!
We made a Lo Mein pizza at one of the places I used to manage. I tried one piece. It wasn’t bad, but there’s no reason, outside of competitive swimming, to carb load that much
I think the funnest one is “ Spice, all = WOKE”, like damn…. All spices in the world?
Maybe they meant allspice, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if black pepper was too hot for them.
white people joke
If anything, spices are NOT woke. Empires are built and people enslaved out of spice
Hot dog, battered
…the fuck is this woke-ass gender neutral bullshit?
It’s called a CORN DOG, and they are glorious!
Not woke: penis for boys.
Not woke: pussy for girls.
Not woke: anything to do with people whose skin is not Lily-white.
