ABOUT THE EAT WELL 2010 CALENDAR

In August 2009 as part of Fruit & Veg Month, Eat Well Tasmania gave Tasmanian schools the opportunity to enter a Calendar Competition.  The criteria for entry was that students needed to send in artwork depicting either their favourite fruit or vegetable, the Go for 2 & 5 messages, or Fruit & Veg Month in general. Those selected were chosen for their combination of image along with the relevance of their statement to the message that eating fresh fruit and vegetables on a daily basis is beneficial for good health.

 

Eat Well Tasmania would like to thank all the schools across Tasmania that contributed entries in the 2009 Fruit and Veg Month Calendar Competition.  We are delighted to acknowledge those students featured in the calendar:

Presentation by Dr Rosemary Stanton: The coming revolution in our eating habits

Climate change is likely to affect everything in our lives, including the food we eat. There are some obvious anomalies to address, including the absurdity of importing products such as bottled water, wine and cheeses and also using energy resources to create processed products that contribute no kilojoules so that overfed people can eat even more.

Other areas that will almost certainly change will include a move to locally grown foods, more products grown using sustainable organic methods, less meat (especially grain-fed beef) and more plant-based foods. There will also be a huge need to teach people how to cook from scratch rather than using packaged processed foods.
