Paw-sitive Health
Shona Bloodworth
Companion animals are a valuable part of our life and society. We all know vaccinations make for a healthier human world, but is it important to vaccinate cats and dogs? My own pets can tell you!

An Egg A Day Keeps the Doctor Away?
Dr Andy Stringer
Children need the right nutrition to help them grow healthy and strong. One way to do this is by including animal-based foods like eggs in their diet. These foods can help fight undernutrition, a big problem in many parts of the world. We'll look at how different countries are tackling this issue and share some stories about successful projects. Diseases in animals and humans can affect this effort, making it even more important to ensure kids get the nutrition they need.
