Topics of focus include:
- reducing consumption of sugary drinks and promoting water as the drink of choice
- encouraging people to sit less and move more in workplaces
- providing fast, easy and affordable family meal ideas
- encouraging families to be active together
- introducing solids to babies – best foods to try, when and how.
