Diabetic Living Australia - July-August 2018

ORGANIC & SUSTAINABLE

These words are thrown around a lot, but basically they mean eating
foods based on ethical and environmental concerns: produce grown without
pesticides; animal protein from livestock raised humanely; wild-caught
or sustainably farmed fish. Ethics and economics combined – millennials
want to protect the earth and its inhabitants. “People my age ask about
the origins of things, if it was sustainably treated,” says Jenny Dorsey, a
27-year-old chef whose grandfather has type 2 diabetes. “We’re focusing
on the value – it transcends the actual thing we’re eating.”

USE THIS

Seeking out organic

or sustainable foods

may help leave

behind a healthier

planet for your

descendants.

IGNORE THIS

Altruism and assets

don’t always mesh,

and organic food isn’t

necessarily more

nutritious. Organic or

not – eat your fruits

and vegetables.
