Re: Professor Grant Schofield is coming to Tauranga...

Debbie Cunliffe from

Please find attached details of Professor Grant Schofield's visit to Tauranga in November as part of Diabetes Awareness Month.

Grant is leading the wave of change in how we think about our health, including how we exercise, how we sleep, how we play, and how we connect. The central place ‘real’ food plays in our health and wellbeing; a desire to help people “be the best they can be”, drives his research and practice.
Dubbed “The Fat Professor”, Grant, together with Dr Caryn Zinn and Chef's such as Pete Evans and Craig Rodger (LOOP) are at the forefront of challenging the widespread fat phobia that has pushed us to eat a diet full of processed, carb-laden food. “It’s time to help the world change,” he says.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
