Healthy Eating - Have your say
Minister for Health David Davis hosted a roundtable of Victorian families at Parliament House to share ideas on healthy eating.
Speaking at the Victorian consultation forum of the National Health and Medical Research Council's (NHMRC) Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, Mr Davis said he was delighted to see so many parents and children taking a leading role in improving eating habits.
The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating is designed for the general public and provides serving sizes and recommended diets for various age and gender groups.
The main changes so far proposed include strengthening guidelines relating to limiting sweetened drinks, a small increase in recommended serve sizes of dairy and meat (young females only), and a decrease in serve sizes for breads and cereals groups.
To have your say on the guide, complete the quick survey on the Better Health Channel before Friday 3 February 2012.
