Hi,

I’ve just found a blog post about new health guidelines for 3 month to 18 year olds in New Zealand.

I know I have a number of Kiwi readers and I thought it was important that I put this info on the blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Pies, chips and sausage rolls should be eaten by schoolchildren only once a term, new health guidelines recommend.

The Ministry of Health released its Food and Beverage Classification System Framework yesterday, aimed at helping New Zealand children make healthier at-school choices…

Health ministry’s deputy director general Don Matheson said the aim was to set out healthy food and beverage options for children aged three months to 18 years.”

Talk soon,
