We’d save up our pocket money for a sausage roll, meat pie, or an iced bun. But today’s school canteens have undergone a significant transformation, and it’s a change worth celebrating. 🎉 From Sometimes Food to Nutritious Meals: School canteens today focus more on health and nutrition than ever before. The old staples of sugary snacks and deep-fried treats are being replaced with balanced meals that support children’s growth and learning. Here’s how: 🥦 Healthier Menus: Modern school canteens offer various nutritious options, including fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. The shift towards healthier choices helps combat childhood obesity and promotes better eating habits. This is because of the nutrition guidelines set by each state and territory. 🥗 Education Through Food: Canteens now play a crucial role in education. They teach children about the importance of a balanced diet and how to make healthier food choices. Many schools integrate these lessons into their curriculum, creating a holistic approach to health education. 🍎 Local and Sustainable: There’s a growing trend of using local food systems and focusing on sustainability. Many canteens work with local farmers and suppliers to provide fresh, seasonal produce. This not only supports local economies but also reduces the environmental impact of food transportation. 👩🍳 Involving the Community: Parents, teachers, and students are increasingly involved in shaping canteen menus. This collaborative approach ensures that the food offered meets the tastes and needs of the school community while adhering to nutritional guidelines. 🥙 Special Dietary Needs: Today’s canteens are more inclusive, offering options for students with dietary restrictions and allergies. This ensures that all children have access to safe and nutritious meals. The transformation of school canteens reflects a broader commitment to children’s health and well-being. It’s about more than just feeding hungry students; it’s about nurturing a healthier, more informed generation. Let’s continue to support and celebrate these positive changes in our schools. #SchoolCanteen #HealthyEating #ChildhoodNutrition #PublicHealth #SustainableFood #Education #AustralianSchoolCanteen

Americans are struggling to eat well: Only 1/10 Americans are eating enough fruits and vegetables (CDC) and 1/3 American adults are overweight (NIH). But nearly half of Americans (130 million people) claim to actively try to eat well. There is a need and a desire for a better way to eat healthy. So what is stopping us from eating better? 46% of U.S. adults said a barrier to eating healthy foods was their price (Cleveland Clinic) 25% of Americans stated that they had to little time to cook and prepare healthy foods (Cleveland Clinic) while 20% percent said they didn't know how to cook healthy foods (Cleveland Clinic). edggies proposes a solution in the form of dehydrated veggie sprinkles: a fun, stress-free way to eat healthy by removing barriers of cost, time, and inconvenience.

Giving communities the powers to stop KFC near schools is not just about stopping the egregious roll-out of junk food marketing to our kids. It’s about giving communities agency and choice about their food environment. It’s the clearest example of how government can help “make the healthy choice the easy choice”. Right now, it’s the big corporates, with their addiction to the UPF business model, who define the way we eat. It’s time people had a better say as well.
