Food etc empowers people to make better food choices by teaching them how to cook inexpensive, tasty and nutritious meals from scratch. We want to give them the skills and knowledge they need to move away from costly and unhealthy ultra processed foods (UPF) and choose economical, tasty and whole foods instead.
This is a transformative change for many people, especially those who are disadvantaged, either financially or by the misinformation that the mainstream food supply chain communicates, which makes UPFs look like the easier, aspirational choice when in reality it is the opposite.
We work with a variety of communities. In nursery and primary schools where we teach small groups of parents and children together. In secondary schools with teenagers. And we work in partnership with charities that support a variety of people including formerly homeless, domestic abuse survivors, older people and carers (young and old), looked after experienced young people and families supported by local authorities.
