Lets start a conversation about the food environment surrounding our children and make positive changes together.

STOP AND THINK

Is there a more positive option available?

Make a bit size change

Background

We are Gillian Hegarty, chef and parent, and Melissa Byrne, registered dietitian and parent. We work with a group of like-minded people in the Clonakilty region and surrounds.

We aim to raise awareness regarding the current food surrounding children, termed the food environment, regarding both the volume of nutrient poor industrialised foods, and the negative effects these foods are having on childrens’ health.

We are asking organisations to assess their food environment, define a list of issues, and identify a change plan to take action.

We offer support to review the plan with the organisation and encourage organisations to share their experiences with others. When organisations have completed their plan and reviewed it with us, we award them with our sticker which can be displayed publically.
