Australian Tour
In 2015, The Root Cause is taking their mission to Transform Children's Health, One Lunch Box At A Time on the road around Australia. On tour along with me will be my amazing husband, Israel Smith, and our two children Indrani (8 year old) and Rilien (then 4 years old).
Our aim is to educate children and parents in a fun and interactive way about healthy lunch boxes. The areas we will be covering include:
- What is a wholefood and what is a processed food
- Understanding carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and why all of them are important
- Understanding how sugar affects mood, behaviour and learning
- What is an additive and preservative, and how they affect mood, behaviour and learning
- How to read the labels on food packets
You can read more about the Mission here, but for the moment, we thought we'd start to share our journey and all the things we are doing as a family to prepare us for a life on the road. This is the bus we've bought which make taking our mission around Australia possible. Follow us here over the coming months to watch our bus transform into our home and our branded mission on wheels.
If your school or community group would be interested in learning more about our Healthy Lunch Box Program, please email me at belinda@therootcause.com.au.
