Eating a healthy, varied diet is an important part of maintaining good health and reducing ill-health in our communities. Using learning from previous units, through the threads of Healthy eating and nutrition, Consumer awareness, and Food culture, dishes and meals can be planned and prepared to meet needs as they change throughout life. These threads continue to be developed in Year 7, examining additional factors affecting food choice and food customs.
