Positive Feedback on Healthy Choices Guidelines Workshop
Feedback from the Healthy Choices Guidelines Workshop on Tuesday 18th October with Kate Wilkinson from Nutrition Australia was that the session was both positive and engaging, with one SSA representative saying “this is the nutrition information we have needed to understand and be able to explain and engage sports clubs/canteens”. The simple ways to change ‘Amber’ classified foods to healthier ‘Green’ classified foods was explained, along with fantastic nutrition resources available to clubs who are aiming to achieve the healthy choices guidelines.
We have been fortunate to capture Kate’s presentation on video. Please see the video at the bottom of this article.
