Fat Science: Dr Robyn Toomath
BODY:
For 14 years, endocrinologist and diabetes specialist Dr Robyn Toomath fronted a vocal and visible campaign highlighting obesity. But in November last year, she wound up the action group she'd founded, Fight the Obesity Epidemic, or FOE, saying she felt she'd made no progress.
EXTENDED BODY:
An Auckland diabetes specialist has slammed the government for its lack of action to fight obesity.
Dr Robyn Toomath says the government needs to use fiscal measures to combat obesity, by making healthy food more affordable than unhealthy food.
Dr Toomath started Fight the Obesity Epidemic in 2001 when, as a diabetes specialist, she started seeing teenagers with Type 2 diabetes; it had previously affected mostly only people aged over 40.
She wound up the group in November last year, saying she felt she'd made no progress, but has just published a book called Fat Science: Why Diets and Exercise Don't Work and What Does.
Dr Toomath said there was a period of productive activity to fight obesity that went on for six or seven years, but that ended in 2008.
"Everybody at that stage started began treading water, thinking well you know 'the political climate will change and we'll be able to get going again', but there's a limit to how long you can tread water and just see absolutely nothing changing."

Dr Toomath said obesity was not an issue of personal responsibility but of societal responsibility.
New Zealand is the third most obese nation of the OECD countries, according to official statistics.
Dr Toomath said the continued focus on the individual as being entirely responsible was maddening for her, as she said she saw individuals struggling to do their best - and failing.
"So I've become very annoyed with this intransigent stance that the government [has] taken and I'm just not prepared to keep banging my head against a brick wall."
Dr Toomath said, during 2006 to 2008, things were very productive, with a health select committee inquiry into obesity and the 'Mission On' health initiative leading to boards of trustees restricting food types in schools.
She said all those things were bubbling away until a change of government.
"All of the funding for NGOs working in the public health issues stopped. The schools were told that they no longer needed to control the food that was sold."
The National Party adored the phrase 'Nanny State' and made it absolutely explicitly clear that they were not the government that was going to regulate the environment, she said.
Dr Toomath said there had been tremendous lobbying by the food and soft drink industries, where there was a great deal of power.
"I think that's something that is underestimated, when we wonder why we're not getting traction."
She said polls and petitions going back a decade indicated that the general public wanted to reduce the amount of junk food advertising on television and that people wanted a sugar tax.
"So even though there are clear signals by public that we would like these changes brought about, why is [it] that the government is not moving? And I think that they've got very good friends in industry."
Dr Toomath said introducing a sugar tax, reducing junk food advertising and increasing useful food labelling were all a good start but it was important to change the frame of reference to combat obesity.
"You would not have fast food outlets, or perhaps even dairies, adjacent to schools, they would need to be further apart.
"You would certainly use fiscal measures so that healthy food was more affordable than the unhealthy food... you would restrict the density of junk food outlets - particularly in supermarkets."
Obesity was not an area where you could wait for evidence on measures and then move, she said.
"What is the risk of putting a soft drink tax on? What is the harm - why are we waiting for the evidence?"
Dr Toomath said having milk that was more expensive than soft drinks was a tragedy, and society would bear the costs of obesity for a long time to come.
"But it's like climate change - the longer we dick around not doing anything, the longer this cost is going to keep piling up."

Good Boy pears
BODY:
Nick Tripe is a pear grower at Glenfield Orchard in the Mangamahu Valley, about 40kms north-east of Whanganui. He talks to Kathryn about the joys and challenges of growing pears and the best way to eat them.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Tripe is a pear grower in the Mangamahu Valley, about 40km north-east of Whanganui.
Under the brand Good Boy Fruit, Nick produces a range of varieties - Taylor's Gold, Doyenne du Comice, Bosc, Packham, Conference and Winter Nelis, as well as red pears called Crimson Gems.
Recipes:
Roasted pork chops
Pear and ginger cake
Read an edited snapshot of Nick Tripe and Kathryn Ryan's conversation below:
All pears are the same to me, and I have no idea what the most common pear is. It’s just grey and speckled on the outside and yellowish white on the inside. What variety is that typical, common one?
The traditional pears have been Bartlett, Nevis and coal – the ones you’ve seen in the supermarkets for probably 50 years. And they’re generally presented to the public as either rock-hard or rotten, which gave pears a very bad image. Not many of us understand the ripening process for pears. You probably like a crisp pear, but a lot of people like a pear where you stand over the sink to eat it and the juice drips into the sink. That being so, the ripening process has to be completed, which involves four weeks or so in cool store. And then they fire up – to use the jargon – when you take them out and expose them to atmospheric temperature. So there are two pear eaters – one is the one who likes the hard pear, the modern variety. And one who likes the really juice one. And the really juicy ones require that ripening process which won’t happen on the tree, to get them really juicy and dripping down your cheeks.
What is the key to year-on-year producing a very good crop?
That’s a tricky one. Basically they tend to be alternate years – good crop/bad crop. The challenge is to overcome that good crop/bad crop. They’re susceptible to severe frost – light frost they’ll handle. Generally, pear trees are pretty damned hard to kill. It’s pretty hard to kill a willow tree and it’s pretty hard to kill a pear tree.

Stop domestic violence - help the men
BODY:
Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the team behind Gandhi Nivas - a ground-breaking early intervention initiative first created within Auckland's Indian community that might just revolutionise the way domestic violence cases are handled across the country.
EXTENDED BODY:

One year since it opened, an early intervention family violence facility set up by the Indian community in South Auckland, is being used as an example for other communities around the country.
Fifty-five percent of protection order breaches are being committed by men from the South Asian backgrounds, according to statistics, and of the 14 women killed in domestic violence cases in New Zealand from 2013-2014, four were Indian.
The numbers are alarming - so the Indian community decided to rally around, own these issues, and create a solution in the form of an early intervention family violence facility called Gandhi Nivas.
The early intervention programme, established in Otahuhu, provides emergency housing, counselling and referral to social services for men from South Asian communities who have either been issued with a police safety order, or are otherwise involved in police matters related to family violence.
Men’s family violence related issues addressed at the earliest possible opportunity, with immediate counselling for them and their families, especially when police issue a safety order.
It also ensures victims and their children stay in their own home without having to move elsewhere.
While the initiative grew from discussions between Counties Manukau Police and their South Asian Advisory Board, it is now supported nationally by Māori, Pacific and Ethnic services at Police National Headquarters in Wellington.
Statistics pointed to wider public issues
For South Asian female victims in New Zealand there is a higher than likely chance that their perpetrator partner will breach a police safety order or a protection order.
In most cases, especially in South Asian Communities, a police safety order is issued against a male. However, when they are given to a man involved in a family violence matter the perpetrator tends to return home where the problem had originally occurred.
This reoffending is common because of the traditional cultural values of the community. Victims often wish to keep the matter away from the knowledge of the wider community because of a “shame factor” associated with it.
Statistics also indicate that South Asian men have no place other than the established home to return, and as a result the compliance of the order is not met, resulting in a breach and subsequent arrest of the male.
There is also statistical evidence (taken from the last census) showing a high incidence of physical attack and abduction apprehensions by Indian males, that is disproportionate to that of other ethnicities.
Indian solo-mother Savita Alva in South Auckland, describes how she was at her wits-end after suffering repeated incidents of violence at her home between her two teenage sons.
“I requested to my son’s probation officer that I don’t want to see my son on the streets, feeling insecure and becoming a criminal … but for me coming back home and seeing them fight and bleed, windows and doors getting shattered and filthy language was very stressful.”
But Gandhi Nivas became the family’s solution to the violent outbursts.
“After [her son] was taken under Gandhi Nivas I felt assured and secure that his is under proper guidance and has professional support if he needs to turn his life around.”
Unpacking culturally embedded practices
Lynda Chanwai-Earle met the team at Gandhi Nivas
I travelled to the heart of South Auckland to the facility to meet the team behind Gandhi Nivas – and was greeted at the entrance by Sucharita Varma, the Director of Sahaayta’s Counselling and Social Support Services.
The first thing I noticed were the bars on the exterior of the entrance.
“This is a secure facility,” Sucharita explains.
“It is manned 24 - 7 by our Sahaayta male counsellors. Most of our intakes happen over the weekend."
When police get a domestic violence call they assess the situation. If no assault has occurred and they believe removing the partner is the right thing to do, then they bring them here and fill out a referral for, she says.
If that person is under the influence of alcohol the police will retain them for a couple of hours.
“One of the requirements for us is that they need to be able to comprehend house rules when they come in. Then we explain the house rules, show the man to his room, offer him a hot meal and then they go off to bed,” she says.
“There are four rooms here, each of those rooms can take three people; two beds and a pull-out. You can see the rooms are nice and airy. The clients are responsible for their own property.”
“The next day we get a comprehensive police report that explains the incident in detail; the family members and children involved….if there was an assault at the home then that person would be arrested and taken away.”
Education ‘is key’
In the living room area is a meeting about future funding is taking place between Inspector Dave Glossop and Gandhi Nivas team members including chair of the board Ranjna Patel.
Ranjna Patel says the group realised the men needed to be educated.
“When we first started this project - I would speak to 150 Indian women at a conference and ask; 1 in 3 women are abused but no one in this room is abused?”
“With the migrant community there’s no excuse for domestic violence but many reasons. To understand the cultural part is very important,” she says.
“It’s a community issue, a new migrant community issue - it’s not unique to South Asian communities and the cases may have been less but because it was reported and the breakage of PSO’s were a lot more among Indian men - the percentage was disproportionately higher. The men needed to be educated.”
Sucharita introduces me to Sahaayta’s male drug and alcohol counsellor Karthik Nandikoor, he’s been with Gandhi Nivas since its inception and he’s the one that helped Savita Alva with her two sons.
Karthik deals with the initial referral from the police, deals with the men first hand and will stay overnight at the premises.
He walks me through the spacious facility towards the showers and bathroom explaining that up to 12 men can stay at a time within the four large bedrooms.
Karthik supports the men with work and income related needs, housing, help with CV’s and gaining employment, even dropping the men off to their jobs.
This reoffending is common in the South Asian Community because of the traditional cultural values of the community, Sucharita says.
The violence is normalised, sometimes it’s culturally embedded practices they have bought from their countries of origin, she says.
“That’s why the breaches of PSO’s have happened in the past. These victims have taken the perpetrators back into the home without getting proper support because the victims are worried about their men’s safety and needs.”
They tell me they’ve had explain New Zealand’s law to clients - like why they couldn’t break furniture and throw stuff around.
“The normalised way of living with violence needs to be addressed, a lot of re-education needs to happen. A lot of good work happens here.”
There is a team of 15 counsellors with 18 different languages spoken. Most of the counselling is done in native languages and the counsellors are a range of multi-cultural, ethnic and multi-faith backgrounds.
One man who put in hours of volunteer work helping create the Gandhi Nivas facility is Ethnic Liaison Officer Sergeant Gurpreet Arora.
"The men have taken responsibility for their actions, their mana and self-respect are kept intact within their family and community. The issues that the family have had are being addressed as well. As a result the men have gone back to their families with no incidents following,” he says.
Results speak for themselves
According to Massey University’s School of Psychology Research Report, over 103 men came into Gandhi Nivas in the first 12 months opened.
The study found a 43 percent drop in the number of men offending after intervention, and a 57 percent decrease in the frequency of offending, after intervention.
“The one-year findings support the effectiveness of the innovative programme for its rapid response to referrals from Counties Manukau Police and its culturally appropriate services through Sahaayta Counselling and Social Support.”
It was anticipated that Gandhi Nivas would be used mainly by Indian and Fijian men, yet one-third of users have been Maori and Pasifika and the remainder other Asian, Middle Eastern and European men.
“The cost benefit analysis and joint evaluation with Massey University is still going but the results are excellent so far.”
Governance Committee member Inspector Rakesh Naidoo explains that the early intervention Gandhi Nivas model could be replicated in main centres.
“Family violence needs to be addressed in partnership - communities want to assist - they want to help. They play a part in education and advocacy - and now they can contribute financially.”
“Referrals are effective in reducing offending since 93 percent of clients have not been involved in another family violence incident after their intake.”
“We want to put in place a prevention focus. Family violence needs to be addressed in partnership - local solutions for local problems. Communities want to help.”
“We do not want to be that ambulance at the bottom of the cliff - we want to be prevention focused. This facility is the fence at the top of the cliff.”

In this programme Adam Hart explores the Horn Dilemma - whether to lift the ban on selling harvested rhino horns to try and fund bettter protection and conservation efforts to stop the poachers who kill the rhinos for their horns. Unlike elephant ivory, pangolin scales and the bones from lions, rhinos can be dehorned without harming the animal. Many rhino owners are already removing the horns from their animals to stop them attracting poachers. So they are sitting on stockpiles of harvested horn.
