A healthier planet starts in our kitchens and can help lead the change! This National Nutrition Week, we're supporting the simple changes that everyone can make.

🌏 Choosing local means fewer food miles, lower emissions and fresher flavours..
🌏 Try growing your own - start small by growing herbs or cherry tomatoes in a pot
🌏 By avoiding plastic packaging, we help tackle the 3+ million tonnes of plastic waste generated in Australia each year
🌏 One third of Australia's food goes to waste, but every small change makes a difference. Plan meals, store food well, and love your leftovers!

🍳 Why cooking at home is one of the best things you can do for your health

Cooking at home isn't just cheaper, it's one of the simplest ways to eat well. When you cook your own meals, you're in control of what goes in, meaning less added salt, sugar and unhealthy fats, and more fresh veg, fibre and flavour.

Here are a few reasons to get in the kitchen this weekend:

🏠 You control the ingredients and portion sizes
💰 It's almost always cheaper than takeaway
👨‍👩‍👧 It's a great way to spend time with family and friends
🥗 You can pack in extra veg without even trying

You don't need to be a MasterChef! Even a simple homemade meal is great. What's one meal you'll cook at home this week? Tell us below! 👇
