The food crisis didn’t start with COVID-19, it started long before:

• when we stopped shopping locally
• when we didn't think about where our food came from
• when we started eating out as much as eating in
• when we started buying from chain restaurants and stopped cooking from scratch
• when food was lost from the curriculum as 'domestic science' and came back under the 'technology' umbrella
• when foodbanks replaced affordable food
• when we put profit before health
• when we started buying products not ingredients
• when we started eating carbage and mistook it for food
• when we allowed food to go to waste when people were going hungry.

Food for Health not Wealth will explore why we must act NOW, or risk a landslide of poor health and health-related issues.
