Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable,

all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other

purpose.

Being Vegan: The other side of the coin

Guest: Brett Thompson, Co-Founder at The Credence Institute

South Africans have been faced with and negatively affected by SOE failures, most

recently those of PRASA and Eskom along with the distressing evidence presented at

the Zondo Commission of Inquiry. With the help of the Dullah Omar Institute, we look at

State-Owned Enterprises - their failures, accountability and where you, the public, fit in.

What is the role of SOEs and why do some of them have such a significant impact on the

pockets of South Africans?

Vegan Cuisine Month was started by the American Vegan Society to help bring awareness to how easy it can be to switch from meat-eating to plant-eating. The American Vegan Society was started by President Freya Dinshah, who wrote The Vegan Kitchen (1965), the first cookbook in the U.S. to explain veganism and give vegan recipes to the United States. She and her husband have since been considered to be the founders of the vegan and vegetarian movements throughout the United States as well as the rest of the world.

Can we live solely on a vegan diet? Are we getting everything we need?

The Good Doctor: What is pre-diabetes?

This means the person is at risk of developing sugar diabetes. Normal Blood fasting

blood glucose levels are between 4-7 mmol/l. Fasting blood sugars of < 5.6 mmol/l –

normal and rules out diabetes. 6 – 6.9 mmol/L – are people with impaired fasting

glucose, THESE ARE THE SO CALLED PRE-DIABETICS, which means the person is at risk for future diabetes. Diagnoses of diabetes could be made with a random blood glucose test over 11 with associated symptoms of diabetes. 7 mmol/l confirmed by 2 tests repeated on separate days within a two-week period – can diagnose diabetes.
