We have all heard of at least one of these ‘tarians’, vegetarians, pescatarian, , fruitarian, paleotarian… the list goes on. But have you ever heard of a Bettertarian? No? Well you’re not alone, not many people actually know what it. So, what is a bettertarian? According to the…. “Bettertarian is a food philosophy to rule them all”. Instead of your typical vegetarian that does not eat meat or a pescatarian who only eats seafood. It is about recognising the importance of making informed food choices. Becoming a Bettertarian involves three stages Stage 1 is better understands. This stage is about knowing where, your food comes from, the respect that the farmers have for their land and the cattle and sheep that graze on it. Stage 2 is about choosing better meals. Choosing food that is better for you and the environment. It’s about using the whole animal rather than bits and pieces of it, making sure nothing goes to waste. All in all, being a Bettertarian is about better understanding, which makes you make better choices and eat better food resulting in you feeling better for it. Got it?

Today Mr Mclaughlan and Mr Dagg decided to gather us together for the first 3 periods to come up with some clever designs for our project.
Hannah Barber is local girl ,from our neighbouring town, Parkes, New South Wales, famous for its Radio Telescope or as the locals call it 'The Dish'. Hannah was born and raised in the historical town of Parkes. Hannah gave us an insightful view of the beef and sheep industry through a simple but very informative PowerPoint Presentation.She taught us the importance of looking after our livestock and left us gobsmacked at how many products were made from cattle ,for example things like perfume and rubber made from the fats, like seriously who would have thought? After the Presentation, we got the chance to ask Hannah a few questions. |
