OPINION: The moment I came face-to-face with the bomber who nearly killed us

The country is now left trying to pick up the pieces of the actions of a few extremists. It's absolutely devastating.The fragility of human life stares you in the face, and you suddenly find yourself having to make sense of a very different world to the one you thought existed.All I can say is I won't take that opportunity for granted. I want to live out my life for those around us who didn't get to live out theirs.

The only people to blame are the ones who walked into those hotels and churches on Easter Sunday and thought they had the right to do what they did.

Vegan burger maker nearly trebles in value on US market debutInvestors pile into America's first publicly listed imitation-meat company, as they look to capitalise on a trend towards vegan and vegetarian diets. It still isn't healthy food, only a diet high in actual fruit and vegetables is going to help you maintain an appropriate BMI and get all of your nutrients and fibre. This is why you see backlash against vegan products using words like meat, burger, milk, etc.. Its not the words themselves, its that they are viable alternatives and that effects the traditional non-vegan producers.
