In October 2020, Packed with Goodness went bush! Well, not really bush – Regional Education Officer Aiden McDowell and Packed with Goodness Project Officer Jodie Harris visited the Midwest region of WA. We hit the road to visit towns around Geraldton and share our health messages and lunchbox goodness with the hardworking country communities. Read more about their adventures here. Teaching kids to love their vegetables is a lot like teaching them to play a new sport. It takes plenty of patience, practice and perseverance. That's why we like to call it food coaching. Dust off the cobwebs, throw on a witch’s hat and carve out the pumpkin - Halloween is just around the corner! We did it WA! – A record number of Western Australian primary schools munched their way through September in The Great Vegie Crunch 2020.
Throughout the month we saw nearly 31 000 WA primary school students from 133 schools simultaneously crunch on vegetables to measure record level of ‘crunchibels’, detected only by a specialised ‘crunch-o-meter’. A staple in most households, crackers, and crispbreads are a reliable go-to for any parent needing to pack lunchboxes for the masses. With so many different varieties of crackers to choose from, how do you know you’re reaching for the best of the bunch? Whilst on holidays it’s important for adults and children to keep up healthy habits and routines such as Crunch&Sip breaks. Read about some of our top tips and travel favourites.
