Resources

These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.

Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

Jamie Oliver's TED speech

Jamie Oliver's TED speech

One for the adults, but this is Jamie's very inspiring speech at the TED awards, which summarises the problems with childhood obesity and the impact on public health.

It's about 20 minutes long, and as you've come to a site about helping children to have a healthy relationship with food, you will think that you can't be surprised by a talk about what is wrong with our food. However the way he puts across some of the points is genuinely frightening but effective and the overall tone of the speech is very inspiring.

If you can spare the 20 minutes it is worth the investment.
