At\u00a0 Sanitarium Health Food Company<\/a>, we\u2019re a passionate group of people who believe in the potential of every Australian to live well. The potential to be healthy \u2013 physically and mentally \u2013 and the potential to be happy. And we believe this begins with a good start to life.<\/p>\n

We created\u00a012 before 12<\/em>\u00a0 because healthy food habits established in childhood largely determine our health over a lifetime. Yet here in Australia, where so many of us know what<\/em>\u00a0 we should eat, the biggest barrier to achieving a healthier diet appears to be the\u00a0 how.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"The evidence base behind this education initiative comes from a University of Notre Dame Sydney report called\u00a0 Little People Big Lives<\/em><\/a>. Through extensive analysis of the 21st<\/sup> century threats to children\u2019s health, the report outlines a number of practical recommendations covering healthy eating, active play, sleep, screen time and emotional connection. Among the many findings, the research highlights that the relatively simple acts of involving children in planning meals, preparing food and eating together\u00a0as a family, are among the most powerful things a parent can do to set their child up for a longer, healthier and happier life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our hope for\u00a012 before 12 <\/em>\u00a0is that it brings families together to learn 12 practical skills that help make healthier eating easy and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also hope it inspires a new conversation about dietary advice \u2013 one that recognises the barriers to why 95% of children (and 93% of adults!) still don\u2019t eat enough vegetables, and acknowledges the\u00a0infinite value of mealtimes in fostering social connection and providing children with a much-needed sense of belonging.<\/p>\n

We want to acknowledge the incredible support of\u00a0 Sprout Cooking School <\/a>\u00a0 in helping create the 12 before 12<\/em>\u00a0 cookbook<\/a>. The Sprout team led by dietitian Themis Chryssidis and chef Callum Hann (who you might recognise from the popular TV show Masterchef\u2122) has shared our vision and enthusiasm for this initiative and we could not have done it without their expertise and passion for nutrition education and teaching kids to cook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
