Fast food and sugary drinks are loaded with sugar, salt and saturated fat while being low in the essential nutrients we need.

These highly branded and marketed junk foods are making the processed food industry rich at the expense of our health.

Regularly eating junk food and sugary drinks puts us at risk of weight gain and health issues linked to this, including 13 types of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Homemade is healthier!

The LiveLighter public education campaign aims to raise awareness of the health risks associated with a higher body weight, and motivate people to eat well and be physically active. We don’t wish to make people feel bad about their size or shape. We also acknowledge that for some people, messages about eating and physical activity may be challenging, or raise personal issues.

For information and support related to disordered eating and eating disorders, Butterfly is a wonderful resource. Beyond Blue is another great resource for promoting good mental health, and providing a range of mental health services.
