Food & Diversity: Addressing racism, food injustice and health inequity
Food is not a luxury but a necessity. But the culture of food brings a baggage of neocolonialism, food injustice, race and status differences, and health inequity. Westernised diets – high in saturated fat, salt and sugar – have been adopted across the globe, causing a rise in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancers.
NCDs account for 70% of global deaths, the majority occurring in developing countries.

ATHLETES, FOOD & DIVERSITY
Athletes inspire us because they’ve achieved the impossible. They inspire us to be more, to be the best versions of ourselves. So, what do athletes eat? How do they fuel their bodies?
