This got me thinking, I work as a health professional, have access to top quality products and information and pride myself on practicing what I preach. Most of […]

Good common sense is all too rare when it comes to advice about what to eat but take the time to read this New York Times article about how food has been redefined as nutrition, turned into an industry and most of that common sense removed in the interests of profit. This can be seen […]

I took this test last week out of curiosity for my carbon footprint. I flew home to New Zealand in April to see my family so knew it wouldn’t be good but I was still surprised and to be honest a little shocked.

A colleague of mine sent an email highlighting what different families eat in different countries around the world, and their weekly food expenditure (see highlights below). I had originally seen this in Time Magazine - for more info see the full slideshow.
