2009 Eat Well Calendar

Eat Well Tasmania has had an overwhelmingly positive response to the recently published 2009 Eat Well Calendar produced with support from the Seniors Bureau and the Department of Health and Human Services. Designed to support older Tasmanians in enjoying healthy eating, the calendar is a beautiful and valuable resource including information and recipes.

With many requests to order more of the calendars, we have decided to do another print run to make this resource available to everyone.

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.
