Although overweight has many different causes, one thing that certainly doesn't help is junk food. It's not that junk food is a bad thing of itself, it's just that a lot of people, especially children, eat it regularly.
The main problem isn't even so much the junk food itself, but the lack of time for food preparation that sees stressed parents picking up or ordering in, instead of cooking. But as Jamie Oliver says, there is really no faster "fast food" than home-prepared food, because it takes longer to go and get or wait for purchased meals than it does to throw something exciting together in your own kitchen.
Not only can home-prepared meals be much faster than bought food, but any way you look at it, the taste is so much better. In addition, home preparation saves thousands of dollars every year, and delivers the right nutrition to support healthy bodies and minds.
So home-prepared food wins on taste, cost, and nutrition. It's superior to junk food every possible way you could look at it. But you do need to know how to plan and prepare it.
It's early days, but FastFoodBank.com hopes to be able to help families world wide to learn how to put together the sorts of superfast meals that lead to great family health. There are just a few recipes at the moment, but with the capacity for families to add their own favourite fast recipes, it's hoped there will soon be a great collection.
A good example of great fast food is the first recipe uploaded to the site, tabouleh wrap with Eastern turkey. This dish packs a flavour punch that the whole family will love, is 100% healthy, takes only 15 minutes to prepare from start to finish, and yet is less than half the cost of the purchased product.
Maybe the best part about FastFoodBank.com is that it's completely free, courtesy of the Kind Communities Initiative, a global project aimed at increasing the health of individuals, families, and communities.
