EATING BETTER NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE

Been out shopping and stocking up your food cupboard? Did you notice some products that contain eggs but have no information on where those eggs are from?

️Plan a meal out for later! It’s important to support Aussie businesses that are likely doing it tough with people eating at home. So, when you next eat out, and these disruptions end, make it a café or restaurant that’s serving cage-free eggs. Use the Choose Wisely directory to find your nearest eating spot with humane food on the menu.
Please stay safe. We wish everyone well during these trying times.
