Eating with Benefits™
Food is not just about taste and nutrition and how it affects us; it’s about everyone else too.
Changing Kitchen Practices
Food is one of the most searched, shared and universally appreciated topics in the world. But it’s also one we know very little about. Over the years, this gap in knowledge has adversely impacted our collective health and the state of our environment.
Resources are tight. Food shortages are becoming commonplace. Trust and faith are in short supply. At this time of playing crisis whack-a-mole - a time of polycrisis as many are calling it - it’s crucial to be resilient and nimble. That's where Eating With Benefits comes in.

What is Eating with Benefits™?
A 5-part framework that's more than a cheeky pun
Eating with Benefits™ is a framework that comprises five principles that illustrate how good food is good for us at a personal level is the same food that is good for the health and prosperity of the planet. Medical science and climate research is clear: if we consume a diet that is rich in whole grains, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables, fermented foods, eggs, beans, lentils, some fish, and even a small amount of meat, we can improve our personal wellbeing and support the long-term health and prosperity of our planet.
Drawing on research from the EAT-Lancet Commission recommendations and the Food & Mood research from Deakin University, Australia, the strategies from EwB can be customized to your life, help you cook and eat in a way that's good for people and planet.
