Bring on the deep-fried battered Oreos! This week the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine released news of their latest study, showing that even 'unhealthy' plant based foods (such as orange juice, and potatoes?!) were better at encouraging weight-loss, than the so-called Mediterranean diet. So another reason to leave fish & chicken of your plate perhaps?

As well as these stories, Kate, Carlos & Anthony discuss nine other bits of news from the vegan & animal rights space over the last seven days across the world.
