Creating Healthier Food Places in Aotearoa New Zealand

Creating Healthier Food Places in Aotearoa New Zealand


Kia ora! We are a team of individuals passionate about improving the health and wellbeing of our nation’s young people. Over the next few months we are aware that the Ministry of Health will unveil plans to tackle the issue of childhood obesity and we, as public health researchers, would love to see the government include specific and significant efforts to create healthier food places in New Zealand as part of the plan. In order to raise the profile of this issue we are asking individuals to share stories that they have of successful endeavours to create healthier food places for children.

We are specifically asking whether you have organized events or witnessed activities whereby individuals have made positive, healthy changes in the way that food was prepared, delivered, advertised, or sold to children.

If you or anyone you know has experience with this, please share your story. You can post it on the Foodback website:http://www.foodback.org.nz/share-your-story/

Please take the time to share your story and inspire others in New Zealand to follow suit. We hope that these stories will help to generate interest, discussion and action for creating healthier food places throughout New Zealand!

Please note that you can follow our group on twitter @ProtectkidsNZ or via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/protectourkidsNZ
