As many of you would have seen from my social media feeds this weekend, I was invited as a guest of the TODAY show to discuss the ‘Canteen Wars’.
This came about via a thought provoking article from Lana Hirshowitz of Sharpest Pencil questioning if we have gone too far in terms of nutrition for our children.
SOOO is there a perfect way of eating…. what is perfect anyway?
Is it when all your food is prepared from scratch, with home made broths and only local ingredients lovingly prepared from scratch?
Or is it a vegan diet? Gluten free diet?
Or maybe we should look at perfect in a different way. Maybe perfect is having a piece of cake at your grandmother’s 90th even if it does have refined sugar and gluten.
Maybe perfect is a packet of salt and vinegar chips while at the footy (it is for me!)
Perhaps you’d love to have an all organic kitchen, with everything made from scratch. I know I would.
BUT I also live in the real world. A world in which I pick my kids up from school every day at 3:30. I live in Sydney, without the space to have a garden.
To me, this is where common sense comes into play.
Perfect to me is feeding my children more homemade than not, baking something fresh once a week. Not living with the constant stress that I’m not doing enough?
What’s your perfect? Reply to this email, i’d love to hear.

Have a gorgeous, stress free day!
Best wishes
