Twitter Talk rounds off National Nutrition Week
The Association for Dietetics in South Africa (ADSA) is hosting a Twitter Talk on Wednesday 15 October 2014 to round off National Nutrition Week and focus on World Food Day. It emphasises the two extremes that are a daily occurrence in South Africa - obesity vs hunger.
Twitter Talk provides a platform where people can share tips, ideas and thoughts around combating obesity and the issues of food security in South Africa. FoodBank South Africa and Soil For Life will be joining the conversation to share idea around curbing food wastage, sharing food and growing your own food.
South Africa is a country of stark opposites. According to FoodBank South Africa, South Africans are becoming one of the most obese populations in the world, while more than 11 million hungry people are living without the fundamental security of regular meals and one third of all food produced in South Africa goes to waste.
The conversation lasts from 2-3pm at the @ADSA_RD Twitter handle and hashtag #HealthyNutrition4All to discuss these two nutrition extremes that exist in South Africa every day.
