Tebogo's story Tebogo has struggled with her weight for as long as she can remember. She is 21 years old and currently studying at university. She is 163 cm tall and used to weigh 70 kg. Binge eating has become a way of life for her. The frequency of her binge eating has increased over the last few months and her weight has suddenly increased by another 15 kilograms. Tebogo is very stressed about her weight. Even though Tebogo hates the way she looks and is very concerned about what she is doing to her body, she does not know how to stop. She tries to limit her food intake during the day, but the urge to binge eat usually overcomes her later in the afternoon. A variety of fast foods are usually the first thing she eats, followed by lots of sugary treats. She tries to finish the food before her brother returns from soccer practice. The guilt over what she is doing is making her feel depressed, thus, after the binge-eating episodes, she usually spends a lot of time in the bathroom purging. She is ashamed, but is caught up in this vicious cycle. Eventually, after a doctor's consultation, Tebogo is diagnosed with bulimia nervosa. [Adapted from: v/d Merwe (2013)] 5.1 Identify, from the extract, three reasons why Tebogo was diagnosed with bulimia nervosa. (3) 5.2 Name two digestive system side effects of Tebogo's eating disorder not mentioned in the extract. (2) 5.3 Suggest a management strategy for bulimia nervosa to Tebogo. (3) 5.4 Define the term "body mass index" and explain to Tebogo how to calculate her BMI. (2) 5.5 Calculate Tebogo's BMI.

QUESTION 17 Read the extract below and then answer the question that follows. "Food too expensive" (www.news24.co.za) 2017-10-26 14:10 Chelsea Pieterse, The Witness Poor families spending less than half of what they should on food. Low-income residents of Pietermaritzburg are spending 54% less than they should on food. This is according to the Pietermaritzburg Agency for Community Social Action (Pacsa), which presented its annual food price barometer on Wednesday. The report said people were prioritising issues, such as education, debt, electricity and transport, ahead of food. Among the reasons people were feeling the pinch were low wages and unemployment. It revealed that on average there were at least seven people per urban household in Pietermaritzburg living on low incomes. In September this year, the cost of a basic but nutritional basket of food for these households was just over R4 000 a month. However, Pacsa found that low-income households were spending just under R2 000 on food. "It suggests that households living on low incomes are only able to secure half the food they require each month," said the report. Presenting the report was Pacsa's Julie Smith who said two-thirds of black South Africans lived below the poverty line in 2017. She said a quarter of them could not afford to put "proper food on the table". Smith said that the median wage of R2 900 a month should be considered below the poverty line as the wage was dispersed among occupants of households. She added that the scale of inflation on food "is extraordinary". Smith said another issue is that social grant payments were too low. "Child support is R380 a month. It is below the food poverty line. In September, we found the cost of feeding a child was R578 a month," she said. The report also found that some supermarkets were reducing the amount of produce per package without changing the price. "For example: a seven-kilogram pocket of potatoes now costs what a ten-kilogram pocket used to cost. Pacsa has been monitoring these shifts in weights — this practice has accelerated over the past year and covers many of the foods in the trollies that women say they try and buy each month," said Smith. "We are of the opinion that the crisis we face in both the very low-level grants and in the economy, is of such a grave nature ... that the state must review and reprioritise its entire budgetary allocations," she added. The foods that show significant levels of inflation year on year include: • Eggs – 5% • Baked beans – 6% • Frozen chicken pieces – 36% • Salt – 19% • Chicken feet – 50% • Coffee – 7% • Chicken necks – 44% • Cabbage – 48% • Beef – 26% • Tomatoes – 34% • Spinach – 93% IEB Copyright © 2018
