Celebrating Nutrition Week 2008 with Breakfast
Nutrition Australia has r ecognised that many Australians are not taking time to eat breakfast which is a very important meal that helps you start the day.
Enjoying a healthy breakfast is an important part of our day whether it be at home, at school or at work. As part of Nutrition Week celebrations Nutrition Australia would like to encourage schools and workplaces to promote the importance of breakfast.
Nutrition Australia is providing kits packed with promotion ideas. Simply click and download what suits your needs. This year we have a new focus on breakfast but the kits from 2007 and 2006 are still relevant and may also be used.

“Falling in Love with Food – value yourself and your Health”
National Nutrition Week 12th-18th October, 2008
Today, there is much media time and space given to discussions about obesity, food labels, food advertising, the nutrient content of food and its relationship to health. The decision as to which foods we choose to eat seems to have become quite removed from considerations such as the taste and quality of the food, and the value of preparing and sharing foods with our friends and family.
So in this year of “Falling in Love with Food” we aim to nurture total health, not just the physical aspects, by preparing and sharing food with our families and friends. This year we are focusing on the Benefits of Breakfast and the nutrition week kit will help you focus on a healthy breakfast at school or in your work place.
