Yes i do believe we have some very fine food here in Australia! This was showcased at the Fine Food Australia hospitality and trade fair i went to earlier this week with Ms Carson (you may remember her from 2011? Foods/Health teacher....little bird told me she may be returning to EDSC?!) Anyways we spent the evening at the Melbourne Convention Centre and were absolutely amazed at the range of new products and packaging systems! We all have to make a committment to living in a way that is more sustainable for our planet and preparing and storing our food in more responsible ways! Free range and organic foods were a highlight as was packaging materials made from recyclable natural materials such as wheat, sugar and corn! BioPak.

BioPak is a leader in the field of environmentally friendly disposable food service packaging made from renewable resources and recycled content.

BioCane make a Lunch Box! Perhaps our school canteen can look at some of these products? A functional more sustainable alternative to the plastic take away container. This lunch box is made from sugar cane pulp is microwaveable and oven-able up to 200 degrees c. Available in 750ml & 1000ml with a pulp lid or for display purposes a transparent PET dome or flat lid.   The problem with our lifestyle is that we are not doing enough to protect and preserve our environment for future generations!   BELOW "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" PICS!   Here are some pics to make you think! Will talk more about sustainability and responsible living in future blog posts!
