1. why is it that despite my mum knowing me for the last 39 years she still tries to hide food I'm intolerant of or allergic to in my meals in order to see if I'm faking it? (this has lead to instances of vomitting, severe hives/rashes, asthma attacks headaches and a couple of trips to doctors...annoying but she's my Mum and is in serious denial.
2. why is it that everyone of my classmtes I help with their assignments and essays always end up getting slightly better marks than I do ( I must be destined for teaching).
3.Why is it that despite my male cat being fully desexed, and apparently not suffering stress or mental disorder, still sprays everything....he seems to be possessed with a need to do it anywhere and everywhere....and now he's started doing it to get what he wants eg: "let me in now or I'll spray your window".
4.Why is it that it never rains whenever i wear my Gumboots due to rainy weather forecasts?
5.Why is it that food with no extras additives or preservatives used to be cheaper than other foods, and is now obscenely more expensive? and 6.why is milk made from cows less expensive than milk made from beans and grains?

I'd love to hear other people's "why is its".

All my "why is it"s are answered by, "because people are stupid" or are areas of higher education and/or research. So, I won't bore anyone with them. But, I do know the answer to some of yours.

This is extremely dangerous and if I were you, this would have reached a screaming match a long time ago, mom or no mom. Seriously, you could die. This is just plain dangerous/stupid.

Two words: mass production.

Milk comes from cows, not made from them. They produce it whereas "milk" from beans and grains is a process.

Also, the world is awash in milk. Especially, given the injections that cows get to make them produce more milk (though many countries don't allow that). It's actually quite stunning.

Likes to mess with stuffs.


I have nothing better to do, I'll give this a go.

1. Because she is your Mother and Mothers want to believe that their children have no failings.

2. They are willing to ask for help.

3. Because it is your cat's nature to do so.

4. Unless it's an impending disaster, Weather forecasters are more often wrong than not.

5. Because Corporations know that you will pay for it. They are also well aware that people who eat organic foods are more educated and therefore better off financially.

6. It is subsidized by the government.

1. Clearly, she is trying to kill you. This is not a joking matter. Maybe let her know you have removed her from your will, or just stay away from her.
4. Weather forecasters rarely have a clue what the weather will be. Except in places like Los Angeles or Seattle.
5. Preservatives used to be more expensive to make, because most people didn't want that junk in their food. Now people will eat any manner of poisin in their food, so the junk is cheaper to mass produce. And now the demand is increasing for uncontaminated foods, and these foods are coming from far away locales and countries, so the shipping costs are more.
6. Milk from cows is easier to obtain - the cow does most of the work.

Because saying that, true or not, sells more copies of the daily mail.

Because blaming someone else for one's own laziness and work shy behaviour is much more fun than working for a living?

HA ha some very good answers....the thing with my mum though I laugh about it is serious...she's not trying to kill me...she just thinks I'm exagerating. I basically make my own meals now, or watch when she cooks. I don't think she has her head securely lodged in reality. also re: the brits winging about immigrants. We aussies do the same. but none of us would ever do the jobs the immigrants do or suffer the same conditions or abysmal pay.
