Latest News and ResearchSelf Sufficient Me Recently, Nutrition Australia Qld’s Committee of Management and Executive Team had the pleasure of meeting Mark from Self Sufficient Me. Self Sufficient Me is a blog about self-sustainment by growing our own produce (plant/animal), and self-fulfilment by looking after our health (physical/mental) through exercise and slowing life down a little. The Qld team were lucky enough to have a tour of his farm and orchard and to try some of the beautiful fresh produce though a delicious morning tea of bruschetta and freshly squeezed orange juice. What Mark has achieved is truly inspiring and we encourage everyone to have a go at growing some fresh produce - you could start with herbs, tomatoes or snow peas. The possibilities are endless! Stay tuned for more updates on this fantastic new partnership. Soy, oat, almond, rice, coconut, dairy: which ‘milk’ is best for our health?
