“Why We Need A Food Revolution” - Sue Kedgley,MP

EXTRACT:

"The industrialised western diet, consisting of highly processed foods low in nutrients but high in fat, salt, sugar and additives, and often containing residues of pesticides and veterinary medicines, is making us all ill."

"Poor diet is the leading cause of preventable death in New Zealand accounting for an estimated 30 percent of preventable deaths. Amongst children it is fuelling an epidemic of obesity, type II diabetes and dental decay, and experts warn that unless we radically change the food our children eat, they will be the first generation of children to die before their parents."
